No, I think we’re just down two rotation guys in Osman and Sexton and he doesn’t trust anyone else beyond the 8 That played tonight, those two and sometimes occasionally Ed Davis. Which is fair but still, you can’t run this team down every night when you’re blowing teams out.

I don’t disagree. I am just thinking that it m

They can extend the bench out to 10 when Cedi and Wade are back.

Sounds like the real D Wade will be back vs the Jazz on Sunday.

They just can’t get all healthy or out of Covid protocol all at once for some reason, which makes the 13-10 record that much more impressive.

They still have only played 2 games with their entire rotation available. Crazy to be 13-10 with the amount of games missed by starters and rotation pieces.

not to mention that the only teams they have really lost to during the stretch with lots of missing pieces were all good teams.

At full strength, we will compete with Amy team in the league.

Another great win. Garland and Allen were electrifying.

We have a very tough game against a good Utah team on Sunday afternoon. Could desperately use Osman back.

Was just thinking that. Without Wade and Osman I don’t think we’ll have enough against a much better defense than we went against tonight. Also looked like Okoro was wincing on the bench during the 4th quarter. Hopefully he’s alright. Heavy minutes for the other starters tonight.

We seriously need to drop Valentine and pick up someone who can give us a few min of productivity.

And it kicks off a seven-day stretch with five games.

JBB is gonna have to go deeper into the bench or else the starters will have their legs fall off by next weekend.

I associate a coach "Thibbing" with guys playing 40 minutes + constantly

I just don't think that guys, especially younger guys, playing 34-37 minutes per game is that big of a deal at all. Maybe on back to back night, but there was no game last night and none tomorrow.

Heard at halftime that if they won this would be there first road sweep since 1970s.

This team is so much fun

 

[Cavatt]

Is our D the best it's ever been? This is crazy

Maybe 2009 was better. That was 66 wins

 

[Real Deal]

Jazz on a matinee Sunday. Can't wait to see where our bigs truly lie vs the best.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Beating good teams on the road is a remarkable turn of events.

I can tell you that, from close in, the Garland-Allen PnR is lethal. We ate them alive!

Doesn’t mean I didn’t sweat it out!

 

[daddywags]

Slight knock on Garland is still too many turnovers. 10 assists but 7 turnovers. Rubio had 6 assists with 0 turnovers. I'll probably take some crap for this since he was +29, but I would like to see him take care of the ball better if he's really ready to take that next step. Doesn't matter much in these games but come playoff time every possession is critical and teams won't be allowing repeated lobs to Jarrett Allen

Jazz & Bucks are 2 of the few teams I think we would struggle with all year. Itll be fun to test ourselves. Can't get discouraged if it does not go our way.

And people wonder why JBB uses an 8 guy rotation. Jesus...

The end of our bench must be among the worst (if not the worst) in the league. Valentine and Pangos are totally unplayable, which makes our backcourt dangerously thin right now.

Those two guys have no business being in the NBA. The fucking G League is full of dudes who are more serviceable.

The funny thing is the end of the bench on every other other team in the nba is soooo strong. Filled with viable players

7 TOs def unnecessary. Too careless with the ball. Can’t believe Rubio 0 TOs. He didn’t look a LOT more careful.

Too many risky passes. Feed the dude in the post and let him go to work!

OKC lost by an NBA record 73 last night with SGA and Giddey both out.

Yeah Valentine and those dudes suck, but come on. OKC has guys with PERs of less than 2. Just stop.
