the Jazz acquired in exchange for Trey Lyles

Trey is not in the rotation. They'd probably love to trade Faried though. Not sure there would be much interest

Rodney Hood does have a history with pregame jitters.

why exactly does he start?

Millsap is one of the few Jazzmen that have left the Jazz and had wild success after Utah.

Demarre, Matthews, Korver, CJ...

Dennis Lindsey got amazing value by trading only what will end up being a late 1st round draft pick for him.

We'll see. Denver forced him to shoot 3's. One of the them was as ugly as it gets.

Curious who here would go for a Rubio for (healthy) Isaiah Thomas trade?

I would. IT is an expiring contract

The Jazz starters need to be able to play the opposing teams starters at least to a standstill, and then their bench will have a good chance to not only break even, but increase leads for the Jazz.

That's what I'm thinking. Starters keep it close with D and let the bench win games. Burks or Sefolosha to start instead of Hood though!

every seat has a cup holder, so what more could you ask for?

cheaper beer to put in them

Without Gordon Hayward to lead the scoring efforts, the offense will probably come from different guys on different nights.

No Hood is a go to guy! Should be 6 guys doing most of the scoring until the all-star break

Rubio finished with nine points on 3-of-9 shooting (1-for-5 from deep)

one of which was particularly ugly!

Let's see what they do against a good D. Maybe Saturday?

Alec Burks had probably the best game of his career on Wedensday.

Look for Rubio to have a spring in his step as he takes it to the team that ultimately decided they were better off with Jeff Teague.

as the Jazz will eventually do

[QUOTE]Part of the reason for their early shakiness on Wednesday very well could have been due to Rodney Hood
