Fes is getting picked on early.

Fes

I have to agree with Sloan, Fes could be great with a little more conditioning…Maybe more playing time would help.

I have a question.

I’m a Wolves fan and I’m wondering why Matthews is starting over Kirilenko. Can anyone tell me?

by KGMN on Nov 19, 2009 6:57 PM MST reply actions   0 recs

Basically, because AK doesn't mind coming off the bench and Matthews is a good outside shooter.

Coach Sloan also mentioned that he likes giving Matthews time with the veterans.

why has Ginobli always come off the bench

when he’s SA’s second best player and (in his prime) the 2nd best shooting guard in the league?

Because teams often do better with good players on the bench, rather than scrubs.

Good enough for me.

Although I personally would prefer Kirilenko to start.

Those are fouls that are inexcusable for Millsap.

Gets him into foul trouble and gives the Spurs 2 free throws when they are 30 feet away from the basket and not going to score.

like the end of quarter shots by all our backups

(hart, knight, ronnie p, and now maynor) it does not go in…

Hey guys

Just now checking in. I see that the Jazz are leading, yet most of the comments here are negative. Explain.

We are playing right into the Spurs' hands for one. Settling for jumpers. And making ticky tack, stupid fouls.

We just barely took the lead, but we need to play better and attack the rim if we are going to win.

Settling for jumpshots and fouling a lot. Yep, sounds like the Jazz.

No mention by Locke about Millsap's play thus far, like how is he is dominating.

He has mentioned that AK is beasting it on the boards.

is when boozer and sap both have a bad game and he’ll say boozer didn’t play great but sap was horrible too

I understand and not being able to put away the raptors early is a problem.

But we aren’t playing tomorrow and we need him to play. He can’t go 40 minutes even if he plays the whole 4th.

if he plays the entire 4th

that would put him at 38 which is about right…

You can't just look at the boxscore though.

I think he has only had two, maybe three bad games. He still gets everything he gets off hustle. We don’t run things through him. And all of his play at the three has taken away offensive posessions from him.

i'm not saying the inconsistency is all his fault

like you said, getting PT at a different position (not his natural position) has a lot to do with it.

Throw in Brewer too.

But more importantly, if Evans keeps playing like he is and he can’t mesh with Martin, then they will try to move Martin, I am guessing.

Are you kidding me? Go look at his shooting percentage and realize he creates his own shot.

And he plays on the perimeter, but he was third in the league last season in free throws per minutes played. As a shooting guard. There are things you can knock about Kevin Martin’s game, but his ability to carry an offense isn’t one of them.

If he had someone to create open threes for him, I bet he would shoot about 50% from threes alone.

by clarkpojo on Nov 19, 2009 8:43 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, he does.

But he’s hurt too often to count on as a “go-to” guy for a whole season

love to pile on the hate toward Booze but

We don’t win that game w/out him.
2:18 Brewer takes long jumper 16 seconds into shot clock (really?)
Next possession, we’re up only 2, Andrei takes long 3 17 seconds into shot clock (really?)
Booze gets a key offensive board, makes a bucket, then has an “and-1!”
