Pop
Pop apparently paid attention to the scouting report, as the Jazz lost their last game to a Rockets team that played microscopic ball; Houston’s tallest starter was 6-foot-6. This evening, Pop also used some of his smallest lineups of the year (Gay at center, for example) — and it was probably on purpose and not just because Aldridge was out. Going small against the Jazz works because, while they have big centers, they aren’t post up threats. Good coaching. Beyond that, I didn’t have an issue with the rotation. Murray getting more minutes was justified. Belinelli played a lot but it didn’t hurt too much on this night.
Grade: A-
