**** the Bucks: Official Game Thread -- 5pm MT

[Coach Ellis]

Jazz have really struggled in the 2nd quarter since the All star break. I'm pretty happy that they played even with the Bucks in the 2nd this game. Against the Suns, they pulled away in the 3rd - let's hope for a similar result.

He didn't want him to begin with. Clown.

What?? Then why did he draft him? And give so much up for him?? What are you talking about? Clown.

I just laughed imagining Trey Burke guarding Khris Middleton.

I know you are enjoying watching Johnson bricking corner threes.

Mack already 3 turnovers...

Hayward shoots a 3 - BRICK

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Seems like the Bucks' strategy is to let Hayward shoot 3s.

Stop being stupid.

I am very aware that Chris Johnson sucks. But if it's a choice between giving him minutes or sticking Burke on Middleton defensively, the first option is a no brainer.

Take it easy on zapper. He is one of the good ones

I want you two to get along bro.

The rumor (I personally believe it) is that dl wasn't thrilled about trading up for burke but others in the organization, namely corbin, really wanted burke

He has got allot of good looks

I don't want either guy on the roster next year.

Gobert, Favors, Lyles, Hayward, Hood, Burks, Exum, Mack and Neto are all solid rotation players. Withey is a decent backup (but might have more value as a trade chip) and Jingles is a great glue/locker room guy. If the Jazz want to be a playoff team, those two should barely see the court. Utah has a ton of assets and cap space. They need to upgrade Burke, Booker, Johnson and Pleis. The bench (if healthy) should be much stronger next year. They've been a horrible liability this season.

Non-True fan? You just said that Lindsey didn't even want Burke when he traded up and bet the farm on him.

There is a difference between being a true fan and and being completely blinded by your purple and blue shaded glasses.

I'm loving our rebound advantage. Everyone is going to the glass tonight.

 

[Coach Ellis]

What's up with Hood? He was amazing against the Cavs and has stunk it up since then.

Is he still playing hurt? Deferring to Hayward/Mack? Just plain struggling?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz +12 on the boards, including +7 offensive.

That's the difference.

 

[MT Steve]

Mack with 9 assists already - 3 away from his career high.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Rudy Gobert +14 in a 5-pt game.

 

[Jamezz]

What a BS call, they need those plays to go on.

 

[MT Steve]

Rudy Gobert +14 in a 5-pt game.

The Bucks rely on points in the paint more than any team in the NBA. Great matchup for Rudy.

fish, why are you so tight with this zapper fella? how do you know him?
