Daniels has been awful tonight.

At least we'll see Reed and Gray for extended minutes

Bender is the one bright spot of tonight

At least Bender is playing better.

I actually wouldn't mind keeping Triano. The man simply doesn't have the personnel to play his system mainly the PG spot. I would give him a full season so he can bring in the players he wants and maybe bring in Nash as an assistant coach since they're close friends and it would be amazing if Nash was here next season to mentor whoever the hell is our point guard next season

Wow, some fight in Bender. He's the only player that looks good tonight, surprisingly.

Bender is a Center, he is able to exploit other C's with his shooting in ways he cant PF's in this league. He should be starting at that position in place of Chandler... We need his spacing at the position as well.

Yeah ... the most important position on the team and it's been filled with PG scrubs and Booker who hasn't played it at this level plus he has basically been playing hurt for a portion of the season with groin and rib injuries. Then no real option at center with hands-of-stone Len, old-man-Chandler, and Greg "pretend-Phoenix-Sun" Monroe. But let's blame Triano.

That's the difference between Bamba and Gobert.
Bamba can definitely guard in the perimeter

Jackson also coming alive!

I love watching the Jazz play defense. One day I hope that the Suns learn the importance of that side of the court. The shots we take have been substantially harder compared to the looks they get.

whew, JJ got up in a hurry

How is that a foul on Josh?

He didn't act like he was hurt.

Jackson came good when we rested Warren I'm not sure how we're going to work that out in the future.

kennydorglas · Post #76 » by **kennydorglas** » Sat Feb 3, 2018 3:47 am

Great run to keep it close in only 21pts difference.
This team never quits.

Warren will be trade bait or 6th man.

Jackson is the better 3pt shooter... and thats a knock on Warren rather than a kudos to Jackson.
Also Jackson is the team's most effective perimeter defender...

And unlike Warren, Jackson also creates plays for others, he pushes the ball quickly and moves it a lot when he isnt trying to slash or shoot.

Man I really like Mitchell's game

Booker playing a little better after being relieved of point guard duties. I like how Triano came out with a lineup where everyone is capable of making plays after that first half.

Not blaming Triano, but its not as if they have gotten better under him or this staff. I would still like to see improvement in the team on a consistent basis and I havent seen it. We still get blown out in ways NBA teams never should. I just think they need new voices in the looker room feel like Triano and this staff have fallen on def ears. Call it the Watson effect whatever but something aint right.
