Tuesday April 5th 8:30 MT: The Mighty Utah Jazz vs. Lottery Bound Lakers

[mellow]

Best part of the radio cast--

David Locke: They need to incorporate more of the NBA rules into College Basketball, the Butler v Uconn game was awful.

Mr. Locke, are you watching the Jazz game tonite? 39% shooting, 24 fouls, and refs allowing Fisher to push a player over while Hayward's leg bumps a Laker for an instant foul? Please don't wish that on college. I love the Jazz and HATE the NBA.

 

[prodigy]

Millsap is killing it right now 16 points, if only Big Al would step up his offensive game

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

I'm dumb founded they didn't call a foul on Hayward

 

[//r00t 4 Jazz]

Yeah, Bynum is going off for 2 points, too. Fes would have kept him to 1.

I was being half sarcastic, but Bynum does have 19rbs still in the 3rd.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Hayward is playing the best defense on Kobe of any Jazz player ever has, that includes a prime AK and Brewer. Granted Kobe has lost a step.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

That just shows Bynum isn't boxing out. Fes doesn't get a lot of rebounds because apparently he boxes out.

Yeah, so far he is playing solid D. But that could just be because Kobe is off tonight.

 

[homertone]

Phew.. Jefferson is brutal out there. He's overmatched versus a big center.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Wow, I've never seen a player get 8 BAs before, and we've got a quarter left to go.

 

[trigg3r]

Phew.. Jefferson is brutal out there. He's overmatched versus a big center.

I think it is just one of those forgettable games for Jefferson. If I recall correctly, he has had big games against the Lakers before.

 

[//r00t 4 Jazz]

Yeah, so far he is playing solid D. But that could just be because Kobe is off tonight.

Ya its being lost in the moment a bit but I am enjoying his performance thus far

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The guy who's struggling is Jeremy Evans. Lamar Odom is making it tough for him on both ends.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Ya the disappointing thing about Jefferson is he is faking Bynum out of his shoes and still can't score on him. Perhaps because he is a PF masquerading as a center....

 

[homertone]

Trigg, what up. Yeah, he's been amazing since the all-star break. He was due for a bad game. He still is pulling down some boards and has a few blocked shots.

 

[homertone]

The guy who's struggling is Jeremy Evans. Lamar Odom is making it tough for him on both ends.

Nice flying rebound dunk by Evans.

 

[LogGrad98]

Bynum sitting on 21 boards and we are still out rebounding them. Nice.


Hayward with a good line so far.

 

[prodigy]

Hayward! I love this kid

 

[The Thriller]

Wow, in case you didn't miss Matt repeating it 10 times, Shannon Brown almost hit his head on the rim!

Hayward is quickly becoming our best player. Love his defense, smart plays, smooth offensive game (without any forces), and leadership. He is playing with a lot of confidence. It's a shame we wasted 70 games to decide to play him. Why AK is still on this roster is beyond me. Get AK the hell outta here. Give me Hayward. A SF that wants the basketball (and can actually do something with it. Instead of driving into the lane out of control and while turning it over and yelling "AIIIII!") is so refreshing.

 

[homertone]

Hayward with a good line so far.

He's definitely looking a lot more confident with time.. and as I write this he rattles off 5 consecutive points. I still see him passing up a decent shot to give it to others. That'll change.

 

[The Thriller]

Lakers outside shooting completely asleep tonight. Thanks Kobe, Shannon, Fish, and Blake for taking tonight off.
