Barkley: They (Jazz) gotta get with the times and go faster.

Meanwhile, Jazz up 3 at halftime.

barkley: defense wins championship!!!


so why go faster!

 

[Diamond77]

We need some fastbreak points.

 

[The Midnight]

Sir Charles gives us no respect. Says we should play faster. Get with the times. I it works and we win. Why change it? Stupid

I'd love nothing than to shut him up with a win tonight.

We need some fastbreak points.

We're outscoring them 10-3 in fast break points. We're fine in that category.

Haven't been this stressed watching hoops in a long time. It's amazing how evenly matched these two teams have been.

 

[The Midnight]

Pretty good half. The Clippers are working their asses of right now. I predict a late-game melt from them. The jazz, on the other hand, have a few players who haven't even warmed up much yet.

Chris Paul looks tired. He's having to do too much at this late stage of his career.

The Jazz already have enough good dudes on the team. We need hungry players that want to win.

You missed the point of my post. It wasn't to say that we need good guys. It was stating we will be better with PF depth.

Crawford and Rivers are 1-7 combined for 2 pts. Not torching us so far.

Playing Bass looks to be an act of desperation so far. That line-up with Felton, Pierce and Bass was treading water for the Clips.

dammit this half time takes forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When are we gunna filter ***** or ****?

watch your mouth!

 

[Spinoza]

I feel like we are A LOT better team. Maybe it's cause CP3 has been out for a while...

Nope. That's exactly what I was thinking during the 2nd quarter. Gobert makes the Jazz soooo much better.

 

[Diamond77]

Am I wrong, or Barkley was sympathizing the Jazz some years ago?

 

[Spinoza]

Charles Barkley is so unbelievably dumb.

I agree with him. In a series like this when you are deeper than your opponent you need to make them work. We don't put a lot of pressure on opposing defenses either. I'm not saying we need to run and gun, but I think we stop a break too often.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Would like to see Hood, Hill or Ingles get hot from 3. We're getting open looks, just need to settle in and not hesitate.

 

[kabenac]

Chris Paul looks tired. He's having to do too much at this late stage of his career.

If he wasn't such a crybaby I'd feel sorry for the fact he's the one executing and is somehow keeping his team in the game despite 'meh' play by several teammates.

Time for Favors to step it up.

We need DJ to sit with fouls.

Good news:
Jazz got really good looks 17 3pt attempts
Deandre has 3 fouls
Lil Doc was ineffective
Jazz lead at half-time
Crowd is dead

Bad news:
Jazz hit just 35% from 3 42% overall. (jazz shot .372 from 3 for the season)
Clippers deflecting lots of jazz passes.
Not a lot of rhythm
refs are letting them play (I think this benefits the clippers)

Am I wrong, or Barkley was sympathizing the Jazz some years ago?

He used to like the Jazz last year. I don't watch them as much and didn't realize that has changed.

man that is a casual and quiet crowd.

Nervous?
