Unleash Brantley

Do Quin or the better players on the team have trouble calling out vets? Sorry, but Jeff Green sucks and his effort blows. I'm not sure what the issue would be with lighting a fire under his *** while simultaneously bringing Brantley up as a sign that the former's horrific play can't continue.

If Green gets the message and plays better, cool. If not, pull him early. Throw Niang in. If he sucks, throw Brantley in. Make it an open ****ing tryout.

Great idea you idiot. Let’s make the team worse.

Conley could absolutely use a pick-n-pop guy. Needs one, it seems. Um, Brantley. How long can this continue?

What the hell happened to that double high screen action we used to use? I haven't seen that used ONCE this season. Theoretically it should work far better with Rudy/Bojan as the screeners than it did with Rudy/Favs because we can attack more ways out of it. Mike could come off either screen. Bojan could slip, roll or pop. Rudy could slip, roll or stay to set a second screen. Bojan could be the pick and pop guy Mike needs. We just aren't maximizing what we have offensively.

We’re not even doing basic stuff like a pick-n-pop with Conley and Bojan. It’s pretty far into Weird Territory.

If you had been in a coma, or were missionary in June and just started reading this thread you'd likely conclude Brantley had been a lottery pick and the jazz are currently 4-15.

Still, I wish Jazz would play Brantley or any the youngsters. And wish they'd bring back coach Igor.
 
This should be said too. I think coaches sometimes fear upsetting the delicate sensibilities of vets for some sort of hierarchal reasons. They’re vets, rookies are just that. While that may be a natural fear to have, I think we’ve seen enough success stories of rookies over the last dozen years or so of guys who come kick ***, and rather than upset the chemistry of the team, re-ignite a passion and help create a great team vibe.

This can work both ways.

Are you some sort of genius philosophy major?

This guy better get a roster spot. And a shot to earn some ****in minutes.

Agree. It’s been time... my worry is the Brantley unleashes himself from the Jazz.
