Yeah, that was weird. I guess they figured with Durant, it was futile.

They didn't want to increase our point differential--stupid tournament rules.

Ya we need to run up the score on Portland and Memphis next week if we want to have a shot at advancing to the single elimination tournament

Nice hard fought win and the Jazz played tough. Our offense was fine for the most part but the defense just wasn't there and we let George get some confidence and Clarkson get hot which kept the Jazz closer than they should've been. Allen had trouble with guarding on the perimeter, Nurk had to get subbed out late in favor of Eubanks for defense. Thought Vogel adjusted pretty well most of the game. Yuta in the first half then KBD and Little got the minutes in the 2nd half. Little had some good moments and KBD made some really nice plays on the ball. Think we could be doing more with him on offense but maybe that'll come with some more time. EG and Allen had subpar games but still hit a few shots. Allen sometimes tries those longer EG-type 3s but doesn't have the range. EG needs to stick to catch and shoot opps off Book and KD. Not a lot of great matchups for him guarding Sexton, George or Clarkson.

Book and KD carried us. PointBook is a different beast, really running the show and taking charge of the offense. KD was prime KD for us and it's really fun to watch. Still can't/won't expect that everynight but it's there if we need it.

Or, here's a thought, who cares about that?

I don’t know why you think people don’t care. The suns do for sure. Vogel and the players have said as much. But maybe you’re right, we should just rest Book and KD, no reason to even try

Talk about a total fake out. The slip in the corner didn't help any.

Amazing that he wasn't a starter on his college team! He was relegated to a shooter only.

I don’t know why you guys don’t care…it’s more fun if you do…I also have a feeling you’ll feel differently if we make the 8 team single-elimination portion.

I also don’t know why people who don’t care need to keep harping on the fact that they don’t care. It’s like people complaining about the release of a movie they don’t want to see.

True…I guess it bothers them that we care? I don’t know
