This. We were doing well with Kanter in there toward the end. Leave him in with Favors and what's the worst that could happen? We lose? I hope Burks seeing 17 minutes becomes more commonplace, but probably only til Raja comes back.

Oh yeah how the hell did Kanter get so little minutes?? He was playing well man.

I'm fine if Ty wants to close with the vets, but if he does then he needs to find minutes for the other guys early on. Corbin didn't make a sub in the first quarter until under the 3:00 minute mark.

Corbin's no sub third quarters don't do a whole lot of good for anybody.

At least Favors, Kanter, and Burks playing well enough that they deserve more min. Now Jazz management give up on finishing 30-36 and finish maybe 25-41 giving the young guys the minutes.

Yeah, Corbin has really been going down on me rather quickly. I mean, **** isn't working right now, so CHANGE IT. DO SOMETHING. It really looks like he is afraid to do anything and just wants everything to work itself out without him having to... BE A **** NBA HEAD COACH.

Also, watching this game made me realize just how bad our spacing is. It's no wonder the team assist numbers have dipped.

It is very poor. And there's never much movement. It feels really wrong to see so many guys just standing around on the offensive end.

You are so right. Spurs spacing is the best in the league which made ours look bad. We simply have no outside shooters other than Bell. Guys like Bonner, Novak, and Jimmer have their place in this league and the Jazz have no one thats a pure shooter. Unfortunately, Hayward is clearly more like AK-47, a good alaround player, but not a star nor a pure shooter.

We should have won this game. sucks.

Well, seeing as how the players that got the vast majority of the minutes have no place in the team's future, and seeing as how the Jazz are going nowhere this year, the end result of this game shouldn't matter to anybody.

In fact, I'm glad we lost. I hope we lose our next handful. I hope the losing continues until the starters stop being the starters.

Paul Millsap's last 10 games: 42% shooting. That's our problem, we have no second option. Time to see if Favors/Kanter/Burks can step up.

This.

I cannot understand Corbin's insistance to start and play Millsap big minutes when he just can't. It's really not an opinion any more, it's a fact. Meanwhile, we lose games and Favors gets less than 15 MINUTES!?!?! If he just doesn't have any belief in Favors that he can't play him 20 + mpg right now, with Millsap playing like crap, then we should look to trade Favors for some really good asset we need, or Corbin needs, to get better. That or just fire Corbin. Really, it's come down to that.

Milsap's bad run started with the exclusion from the all star game. He is doing his best to show that the coaches made the right choices.

We did not played bad at all.
We were playing a great team, in a 11 win streak who made some unbeliable shots (I hate Matt Bonner)
Still, I think, we have problems in PG.
I would play Tinsley. He is not great, sure, but Watson and Harris make him a floor general.

I think we should use Bell from the bench.
He is right now our best shooter by far, and he would be effective in our bench lineup when we don't have Al and Paul to score.
Josh Howard made a fine job yesterday with other big men.
