Corbin says possible line up change..I'm hoping burks and Hayward start and Tinsely and Marvin to the bench

It will probably be Watson for Tinsley.......

Marvin needs to sit, at the end of the bench. Foye is in a slump, start Carroll and Burks. I like Hayward off the bench, he's excelling lately.

I think we need Carroll's energy at the start of the game. With his movement we would probably start better. Watson should be moved to the scrub time since that is how he plays.

I agree, Watson has been really bad, except for a game or two here and there. Until Mo comes back, I want to see Burks get some playing time at PG, he's done a pretty good job so far.

I agree on Marvin in a sense that he is offensively just 100% worthless, but i don't see Carroll starting. Id rather start Marvin on pierce and just focus on locking him up defensively. I think they should sub in Hayward around the 8 minute mark though to keep someone in front of pierce. I know he is old but that fat dude can score. But combo Marvin and Gordon on him defensively i bet they can hold him to less than 20 pts.

Jazz need this win, after that embarrassment in LA. I was kind of sad to be a jazz fan on Saturday.

Thats a good point. It would be interesting to see if his energy could help the jazz avoid that all to infamous lethargic start. Politically it probably wouldnt help the locker room situation, Marvin makes like 7.5 mil a year, Carroll makes 800k, who knows what that does internally.

Realistically though i see Hayward starting at 3 before carroll does, even though he found a groove on the bench, they would start him before they would start carroll.

So basically your saying you want the lineup to stay exactly the same, lol

Demare started earlier in the season when Marv. had injury problems......

[Soul Patch]

I bet favors starts and Millsap plays the three.

[StocktonShorts]

We're starting Al at shooting guard, Foye at the point, Marvin at PF, Millsap at SF and Uncle Jamaal at center.

[StocktonShorts]

According to reliable sources Earl Watson is starting tonight. Yes, this is the change we needed. /facepalm

Can we get a real head coach please?
