Dis • cuss!!!

[Mori Chu]

We should be able to beat these guys. The ESPN page lists Dragic as "day-to-day". Hmm. We are kind of in a mini-losing patch right now, but Utah is the cure for what ails us.

If we lose to the Jazz all hope is lost. #REALGM

(P.M. update: Dragic is unlikely to play tonight but will be a game-time decision. Leandro Barbosa (toe) and Slava Kravtsov (ankle) are out.)

This may end up being tough for us.

Ish starts, more time for Goodwin and Christmas - specifically to share playmaking.

What's going on with Dragic? Just worn out? I didn't get to see the 2nd half last night.

[EDC]

He twisted his ankle and tried to play through it. Went back to the locker room got taped up and came back in at the end of the game. If he doesn't play tonight he will probably be fine for friday.

Ankle tweak in the 3rd Q last night - looks like a minor sprain.

Best to keep him out.

[TOO]

Hopefully Archie can get a good 25 minutes tonight.

Wheres Jimmer when you need him?

[carey]

Yikes. I can't handle 40 minutes of Ish Smith. I may not be able to watch tonight's game.

He's probably sandwiched between Ladmo and DSF at the moment.

Archie should get minutes. Coach seems to be pretty happy with him.

What I want to see is Len get some damn minutes. Coach seems to let most everyone else play through mistakes but he has been yanking Len around. No minutes last game. One minute the game before. Ughh. Not to mention when he is in there it is the Morrii show and he barely gets to touch the ball.

[TOO]

Len SHOULD get PT vs Utah because of their bigs, Kieff can't stick Kanter or Favors inside.

I haven't quite figured out why he has Len on such a short leash. I thought he was the type to let players learn from their mistakes and play through them, but it's like Len is yanked after the first or second mistake. Not sure what's up, but I want to ask Coro about it the next chat session he does.

[EDC]

I hope it is just the pressure of trying to make the playoffs. Len seems like he is putting in the effort but maybe he isn't practicing as hard as he should and Coach is trying to get a message across. It really is confusing.

I really can't wait to see what Plumlee and Len look like after another off season. Plum needs to be more confident with his hook and get a jumper. Len needs to work on everything.

[Mori Chu]

Dunno what the word is on Dragic, but I'd really like to see them sit him out if there is any concern at all. I just don't want there to be any chance he gets injured or worsens it by trying to play. Goran is our MVP and there is no real reason to burn him out or risk his health. We need him healthy until Bledsoe can get back.
