GT: Mavericks at Jazz, THE BIG GAME

[fishonjazz]

These switches to get Mack on Dirk are killing us

It seemed like every time we switched we got burned. And it seemed like we switched often.

Harpring did not just say that Raymond Felton was amongst the best PG in the league discussion from a few years ago did he?

Did he really? ****ing idiot

Did he really? ****ing idiot

Just remember that Exum made DWill look like a tired pathetic old man last season.

And it's not like these are tough threes.

Wide open every time...

We shot 9 or 10 3 pointers that quarter and we made 0 of them.

Exactly, so many of them are so damn wide open you pretty much have to take them all.

This hurt so bad. So many good looks from three. Missing them all.
Hell I thought lyles passed up a bunch of open threes too. My brother even told him to shoot the open three when he got taken out of the game. (We were really really close to the jazz bench. I'm certain lyles heard him. Kept passing them up though)

 

[fishonjazz]

We need to attack the rim every play in the 4th. Hood, Hayward and Burks need to combine for 15 free throw attempts here at the end.

Jazz take forever bringing Burks back then neuter him when they finally let him play. Barely play him at all and when they do, won't let him touch the ball.

Burks was a +3 for the game. Not that it means much though.

Assuming this is a loss what needs to happen for the Jazz to make the playoffs?

A real pg and health. That's it.

Houston losing at home to a depleted Kings team

lol

Oh now I see what he meant. Forget my previous post

 

[fishonjazz]

We play really slow for a team with a ****ty half court offense. If we don't have a post player what's the point of playing so slow? Speed it up and try and get pts the easy way.

This.
Altitude, youth, ****ty half court offense. Seems like we should run more to me.

Ive been saying it for the last two years. Hayward is not a #1 player on a top team.
Favors is too soft. As much as I love these guys they just didnt get it done this year.

I just hope with Exum back + a first round lotto pick we improve next year.
Now the pressure is on. We must make the playoffs next season or someone is gone.

You are right. I think that Favors missing 20 games for back spasms it seems a bit too much.

 

[fishonjazz]

and it's year 2 for him, WAY too early to push the panic button on Quin

Snyder got ****ed in the *** by injuries, I'm willing to give him a mulligan.

I'm still good with Snyder too

 

[fishonjazz]

Fouling with four seconds left. Pretty much sealed out fate.

Yep so dumb. I wanted them to foul quick but was ok with and understood just playing defense and getting a stop.
Fouling with 4 seconds left on the shot clock was worst case scenario

 

[fishonjazz]

Dirk shaves his armpits.

Lol.
Best post of the thread

 

[fishonjazz]

Jazz are down 8 with 1 minute and harping says there is plenty of time?

Idiot

 

[fishonjazz]

Too much bitching is made of what Hayward isn't. I prefer to praise him for what he is. Which is a damn good player that was the largest contributor in leading us to a 40 win season despite Exum missing all year, Burks missing 3 and a half months, and Favors and Gobert each missing a month.

Fair post. So should we pay him 30 million per year?

 

[fishonjazz]

I don't buy that. Hayward has been a great offensive player on a team that runs the slowest paced offense and never gets out in transition. Our offense developed into this middle of the road shooting team that relies way too heavily on perimeter shooting to save itself from late clock possessions. Vast changes need to be made to our team's philosophy regarding how we play with pace.

Great offensive player? That's stretching it.

RIP [MENTION=840]fishonjazz[/MENTION], who just lost the biggest bet of his life.

 

[♪alt13]

Which teams that could win the lotto would be willing to swap picks for one of our players? Could we put together a package for Ben Simmons or Brandon Ingram?

 

[fishonjazz]

I'm really sorry, fishonjazz bud.

Thanks man

Great offensive player? That's stretching it.

Not really put him on a team that rubs and has an offense that doesn't operate in the late shot clock and see what he can do.

Hard to root against success when we got this close. I kind of agree, but come Wednesday at 6pm I'll be rooting for the Kings pretty hard.

This.
I kind of agree with cy about not making the playoffs but come Wednesday night my tune will change
