"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[LiveCoug]

Jazz are tanking to get a lottery pick. It's obvious.

I haven't complained about the young four's lack of playing time lately, so I think I'm entitled.

I like Carroll. Okay, he isn't very good, but I like him better than Howard, Miles or Bell. That said, there is something effed up about the playing time situation we're seeing with him and mainly Burks, because they play the same position. He never had to earn anything, never had to pay his dues. As soon as the three wings I mentioned went down with injury, he was inserted into the starting lineup and with that - regardless of whether he plays like shit or if the team doesn't play well - he is essentially guaranteed his 20-30 minutes a game. Meanwhile Burks, Kanter and Favors struggle to get even 20 minutes consistently. They've been there all year, they play hard, they play well, at least as much as Carroll does, yet there they sit on the bench while all those minutes go to a guy who never had to earn them and doesn't have to earn them during the course of a game.

Funny how they compare Ryan Anderson to Kevin Love. A great example of how you always have to compare a white guy to another white guy.

I would have said he plays like Robert Horry. Both 6'10" guys who like to shoot 3s and prefer to play outside but can bang a little bit inside too.

EDIT: OK, just looked it up: Ryan Anderson averages 4.5 rebounds per game for his career, Horry averaged 4.8 rebounds per game in his career. Ryan Anderson gets a rebound and a guy who gets PAID to talk about the NBA says Anderson is a lot like Kevin Love because he rebounds and shoots 3s.

And how.

That was a fun 2nd quarter.

Ha. Was just going to post the same thing. Nice dime by Tinsley and even better finish by Favors.
