NBA Podcast: Utah Jazz health necessitates line-up shake ups

Phil Naessens had me on his show again to talk about the Utah Jazz (even if it starts off gushing about the surprising Denver Nuggets). It's a game day, so obviously we have to discuss what's the deal with tonight's Jazz / Toronto Raptors game . . . but I think the real meat of this discussion surrounds the line-ups of this team, and the surprising health issues that are popping up.

Check it all out here at his site, or be lazy and just click below.

• Quin Snyder is a good coach
• ... he can focus the players which is important during critical periods of the game
• "Hard times" (#UDQM)
• Teenage Moses Malone / Utah Stars reference
• Laundry list of injured players (Derrick Favors, Alec Burks, Jeremy Evans)
• Recalled Toure' Murry
• "...a good time in the season to switch things up..."
• Can you keep Rudy Gobert off the court, with his game changing play?
• The need for more data on a Trey Burke + Dante Exum pairing
• Shout-out to D'Joumbarey A Moreau (@DJoumbarey)
• The fundamental problem of drafting for future potential
• Matching up with the injured Toronto Raptors
• Greivis Vasquez is a match-up problem
• Obviously, the Enes Kanter / Jonas Valanciunas battle
• The necessary Linas Kleiza type player to watch out for: James Johnson
• Stepping up for the good teams / getting killed by the mediocre ones
• Phil thinks the Jazz will win the next three games
• Amar is skeptical, but recognizes that momentum could be a thing

Thanks again Phil for having me on as a guest, and give me an opportunity to talk about the team I love!
