D. Booker shot 7/9 tonight. I just hope and pray we made the right choice. First game shooting was a big problem.
I fear Millsap just isnt going to cut it. Neither is Slo Mo. These guys are decent players, but we need bench shooting. We need a specialists.
I know both are great guys, and likable, but are they good enough to get us to the playoffs? Both play minutes, and are part of the rotation. We
need more from them.
Hayward will be fine, but this is true. Our team leader needs to give us more. He was outplayed by several players on both teams. He sucked from the line.
Hopefully he'll come back strong on Friday!

Is it too late to draft BONGO? Dude can't be any worse than Trey.
Man Trey was awful in this game. The whole bench minus Burks in the 4th quarter was dreadful. When only two guys off the bench can get any points, and only one can get more than 4, it's going to be a long night most nights.
How was Trey awful? He moved the ball well, fought through screens, and didn't take any I'll advised shots. I swear some people just love being critical for the sake of being critical.
Hate Millsap - he's the opposite of dynamic on offense, he retards the firepower and creates a floor imbalance - for not a good enough reason... He's a glorified D-Leaguer with very little upside..
When Sap took that runner at the start of the 4th quarter, I couldn't help but think to myself "WTF am I watching?!"
Ingles too, to a lesser extent. Ingles is more serviceable(my issue with Joe[That he's overpaid] is compounded by Millsap's presence). Add Pleiss to the watchlist too.
It's not personal either, I just kind of smell ******** with these moves --- A Mile away.. I have a list of legit basketball reasons why. The best counter-point I can come up with for those legit reasons is the Jazz singed these players to ensure the tank - I've surmised with a good bench this team might've won too many games, so they went with something makeshift, by choice..
Those moves almost seem to have a disingenuous quality IMHO (been calling them out on this since the Free Agency period this summer).. They'd have been better off finding development projects to test with trial/error IMO, Instead they wen't with a bunch of 'vets' with little NBA experience (Just what this team needs - Obviously!!)..
Why is Sap taking runners to start the 4th quarter, when the Jazz need a comeback??? You could argue those wasted plays are what cost the Jazz this game, that terrible close to the 3rd quarter was also one of the chief reasons for the loss.
Gerald Green cost a pittance this summer, you can't tell me he couldn't have scored 10 points off the bench in that game... I'm just not gonna hear it
Ugh...I just finished the game. Rough night. Great run at the end and big stops but Rudy can't give up an easy lay up with the game on the line. Hayward couldn't get going. I felt like there were some awful touch fouls. Burks was good but felt out of control at times. He was huge down the stretch. We just needed that one last shot to fall. Also, Rudy's dumb charge trying to dribble down the lane and dunk 8 ft from the basket. He's gotta dish that for the easy 2 and not get that dumb foul that took him out of the game. Man, we had a chance at that one.

That dumb play by Rudy also should've been called a block. The replay showed that Illyasova was still moving despite what Harpring may have said.
Looked like a charge to me. And it takes him 2 hours to get through the lane. The other team has plenty of time to set up and just wait for him to plow through.

Did you notice that Illyasova's right foot was still moving? He wasn't fully set. It was close but he WAS moving his right foot. I'd like to see it again, but when I saw the replay, it looked liked his right foot shuffled a bit and he wasn't set.
