The Sensei is listed as GTD on ESPN's preview of this game so I guess that means he's on the roster. Maybe we'll get to see some minutes from him or Hendricks?

Big loss tonight.

Sensabaugh is really really bad and needs to get in way better shape before he sniffs the court.

Is Hendricks with the team??

Rotation tonight should be something like
C: Kessler
PF: Collins
SF: Markkanen
SG: Sexton
PG: Dunn

Then George, Clarkson, THT and maybe Yurtseven or Hendricks???

I dare you to go and tell that to Markkanen in his face. He's playing like the most efficient monster you've ever witnessed right now.

Markkanen's FGA is way too low. Feed him more, the writing is on the wall! The Jazz has won 8/9 when The Finnisher has scored 30 or more.

Rotowire expects the Jazz to start the lineup that FJS posted. I am cautiously optimistic for this starting lineup. It's got defense, rebounding and guys that can score the ball. We only have a minuscule sample for this lineup, 13.9 mins in just one game, but they played well: 42 pts on 27 fga, 48.1/38.5/100 shooting splits, with 18 rebs/9 orebs, 9 ast, 2 blks, 5 tovs and +4 plus/minus. The 9 orebs in just under 14 mins is outstanding. (I don't know who the opponent was; I am just looking at stats for 5 man lineups on NBA.com).

I haven't heard whether Hendricks is with the team. Go Jazz!

How dumb do you have to be to keep playing this ridiculous zone??????

I hope Sexton was telling him to shove that zone up his a$$......

Some thoughts about the game:

Another time, we lost more about our deffense than our offense, but some stupid mistakes in offense lead some easy points to the suns.

Hardy has to think faster. You can't let Nurkic score 8 points in a row in the 2nd quarter when Kessler was resting. Or you come back Kessler or put Yurtseven on him.
Hendricks had a nice block on Durant... but the guy has not played at all... you can't leave him so many minutes vs one of the most prolific scorer of all time. Still, I have to say he looked lost, but better than I was expecting.
Another time, Dunn did not play 4th quarter... he did a nice job on Durant... altough Durant is way taller than him, but he can't defend Durant, Beal and whatever is playing. We missed Fontecchio.
Collins another time with -20. Watching him play you don't have that sensation. Other who looked worse were better. Maybe it's he is in the worse lineups... who knows. 21 points and 14 rebounds are nice stats.

We'll see if Porter or Knox can help... or if they will be in the end of the bench.

GSW are winning lately, so we have to take care about our position in the next 3 games.
