Gamethread: Jazz in Chicago playing just on game on 8/3 at 18:00(time to break the streak)

[Coloradojazzfan]

In all seriousness, Chicago's hustle is what won this game. SO many second chances from those offensive boards.

Indeed, our players need to act like they give a ****.

Burks and kanter should be closing these games..... along with carroll and maybe mo. **** marvin, **** foye, **** al, **** sap, **** tinsley and watson, **** braille. Play the youth!

Kanter was getting killed on the glass. When Jefferson came we started boarding a bit better (until that last play).

Lol. Will rep later

Dang, people still hating on Al. You can't hate on the dude when he plays this good.

We are actually playing better on the road than we have all year. Most road games are blowouts for us, we've had 3 straight road games go down to the wire. Yes, they have all been loses, but we are playing better road ball than usual.

All I'm saying that the Jazz are in the same spot as they were last year despite all of the convenient excuses for when the Jazz were supposed to be bad last year. No excuses. You are what your record says you are.

I'm perfectly fine with Big Al so long as he's coupled with Favors. I absolutely despise the Big Al that's coupled with Millsap. Kanter? Eh, I'll let it slide.

Hayward should have taken to the hole

He probably would have been hacked with no call. Lets call a spade a spade, he bricked it.

Not much to be mad about tonight, 2 point lead in the closing seconds, bad luck on the bounce, and the busted play leads to a wide open 3. I guess Mo should've stayed out there on Belinelli, but in that situation where Bellinelli just hit the floor I'm not faulting Mo too much for trying to get in there and get the ball.

Yeah, his 3rd quarter helped put us back into the game then he made a couple of big buckets in clutch time. Too bad he couldn't have made the last one though. We really wasted too much time getting him the ball there.

I really can't find anyway to put this blame on Corbin or Al. All on rebounding (which was problematic for the all the lineups, even Favors + Kanter).

Great job on sticking with the status quo, KOC. 1-6 since the deadline. 1-7 really, since you can pencil in a loss for tomorrow

 

[NUMBERICA]

Chicago's a good team, though. I'm not upset at all that we almost won.

-Al Jefferson

Kanter was getting killed on the glass. When Jefferson came we started boarding a bit better (until that last play).

That's a bit of a stretch. Both sucked. Kanter had 1 board in 7 minutes in the 2nd and Al had 3 boards in 14 minutes.

 

[Tony]

I think if Corbin can figure out a good finishing lineup we can start winning... He wont though... Because he's Corbin...

Also, is it just me, or has every final play he's drawn up been the same exact play they use throughout the game?

 

[fishonjazz]

Burks 14 minutes. Tinsley 17 minutes.

No bueno

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

That's a bit of a stretch. Both sucked. Kanter had 1 board in 7 minutes in the 2nd and Al had 3 boards in 14 minutes.

I'm talking about the 4th quarter mostly. They had at least 6-8 offensive rebounds in the 4th quarter alone, especially early. Noah was doing a good job of getting around all of Kanter's box outs and out hustling him.

 

[Coloradojazzfan]

Do we even have a PG anymore... we could have Fesenko at the 1 feeding the post.

 

[udflyer]

He probably would have been hacked with no call. Lets call a spade a spade, he bricked it.

He did brick it

At least he got the experience


All stars average 35% on actual buzzer shots like that.

 

[franklin]

Loved the confidence Corbin is pushing in Hayward. The kid will turn into a closer sooner or later.

 

[dipship31]

This. Even though this loss sucks it feels good to know that for the most part the right players were in the game and Al played well. We played a good game against a good team and had a bad break.

 

[underKANTER]

I'm happy about every single loss.

We benched our young talents for giving the 8th seed to the Lakers?

I hope it will cost TyCo's fat ***. Hopefully KOC will be gone, too along with Lindsey. I know, it won't happen.

Every freakin' PG is better than Watson, Tinsley and Mo.

I'm happy to see the Jazz lose. It might finally force the mentally retarded Front office to do something.

Give me one reason why Millsap, Marwin and Mo should be back on the team next season?
