Re: 2020-21 Regular season- The tax team
Stars are done. Not much good came out of it. Hughes wasn't as good as Wright Forman like I figured. Don't get what they saw in him at all. Tucker had a big game in this last one. A few guys I'd expect to see in the mix in summer league and going into next season

[QUOTE]Third, Quin Snyder doesn’t look to have any interest in resting his players. I thought the Jazz looked worn out by the end of the first half of the regular season, hence the three losses in four games, but the Jazz seem determined to push through that.
[/QUOTE]
never has. Only a matter of time before someone gets hurt while he refuses to go to the end of his bench with a huge lead
[QUOTE]Now it’s time for Snyder to readjust his gameplan to counter those teams ahead of the postseason and that could include a few variations to his roster.
[/QUOTE]
Nuggets are the only team they play again
[QUOTE]It’s important to note the Jazz have gotten by swimmingly without using the two-big roster very often, so I doubt we’ll see it as a mainstay, but Derrick Favors has proven to be a trustworthy postseason performer so maybe it comes back in time for the playoffs.
[/QUOTE]
and there goes the spacing
[QUOTE]Additionally, Snyder could adjust how he closes games, including using Ingles at times in place of Bojan Bogdanovic who is starting to get targetted by opposing offenses late in games.
[/QUOTE]
We saw in the playoffs last year that he doesn't change. He could have played any of his rookies that played some D and they would have won instead he had Clarkson on Murray

[QUOTE]“When the players were really excited for me to have that opportunity, it sunk in, in a lot of ways,” he said. “What they have done, what we’ve been able to do together, over time. You reflect a little bit on the year before I got here when we won 25 games. And we lost some in a row in December and I was trying to figure out a lot of stuff, maybe when we were going to get another win. So you do have a chance to reflect on a lot of those things.”

[QUOTE][B]What is the team’s priority? A stretch four or a 3&D? Perhaps both?[/B]
[/QUOTE]
should be both but obviously a starting 4 is their biggest need
[QUOTE]Given everything we’ve heard about the club’s perception of Oni, and most of what we’ve seen on the floor, it seems strange to me that Quin Snyder hasn’t given him that 10 minutes more regularly, but he hasn’t.
[/QUOTE]
it's strange that he hasn't played young guys the past two years after having no problem doing it before. Oni is a good end of the bench energy guy. Need to loo for a couple vets ideally
[QUOTE]Robinson was signed by Sacramento on December 22, literally the day before the Kings’ season started, then released last week. Again, he wasn’t high on teams’ lists prior to the season, and hasn’t been picked up yet. In his case, while he’s a decent three point shooter, I question the 3&D label because I don’t think he’s much of a defender.
[/QUOTE]
Jazz like him so he seems like one of the most likely guys to eventually end up with them
[QUOTE][B]Do we know anything about next year’s jerseys since the gold are due to go?[/B]
[B]@iamzusuf[/B]
I expected the current Statement Edition uniforms to disappear before the 2020-21 season, given the fact that the team seemed to bury them down the stretch last year. Four times the Jazz were scheduled to wear the yellow jerseys and switched to something else, then they didn’t even bother to take them to the bubble.

Nance would help a lot of teams and he’s on a multi-year bargain deal that makes it easy to come up with matching salaries. He’s the kind of versatile piece that contenders covet because of his defense, playmaking, shooting and impact on winning. According to sources, Nance is the player the Cavs have received the most calls about. Sources say the Minnesota [URL="https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2021/03/cleveland-cavaliers-to-be-active-ahead-of-nba-trade-deadline-will-it-lead-to-another-deal.html"]Timberwolves have been aggressively pursuing him since the offseason. Nance’s old teammate and buddy D’Angelo Russell is a strong Nance advocate.[/URL] Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Miami and Dallas have also shown interest.

How good was Andrei Kirilenko? [URL="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0vtWTq50DCdhkMtN1BTfvs?go=1&utm_source=embed_v3&t=0&nd=1"]Deron Williams: Very good. Very good and it could have been so much better if he could just shoot the basketball just a little bit better, just to where people had to be up on him. And he had games where he would hit three threes, four threes, but it wasn’t you weren’t worried about it. Like ‘oh, we’ll live with that.’[/URL] But I’ve never been around a player that could do everything he could do at his height. And defensively he was special. He was special.
