Game 68: Jazz at Rockets

[The Thriller]

I'm eager to see what happens with playing time after that outing from the bench.

Don't get your hopes up.

The bench has outplayed the starters for a long time now and nothing changes.

I haven't gone through this thread, but impressive performance by Hayward. When you consider that Harden is the model of efficiency, Hayward had a pretty close night to matching him:

Harden - 29 pts on 14 shots w/3 TOs
Hayward - 27 pts on 15 shots w/1 TO

I'm excited about his future.

I know everybody is already aware of the inefficiency,but Al is the polar opposite of the Hard-ward lines - it's just so frustrating to see him still get the volume of shots for this team. I was hoping he'd make a Zack Randolph like evolution, but it just hasn't completely happened. He has improved a lot in his passing and ball movement, but still.

Jefferson - 18 pts on 19 shots.

Hayward 8 rebounds, Harden had 3.

 

[The Thriller]

The only hope i have is that Dallas and SA don't get bored with us like Houston did and they blow us out. I want Corbin gone like yesterday.

You've been away too long. Nothing will change.

This.

Before Hayward was put back in the starting lineup, our bench outscored our starting lineup for the entire month. The Jazz were the only team in the NBA to "accomplish" this.

Eh.... that's just how I operate as a Jazz fan.
I always keep up hope till the season is said and done.
I'm hoping this isn't a tank, and get to see more of these young guys.
Nobody cares about these end of contract guys, that are just going through the motions.

Here's our free agents for you:

From David Locke-
Never sure why things happen so I try not to make too big a deal about it but I was surprised when not everyone on the bench was standing during the run at the end. That was concerning.

That's not true. Foye and Jeremy were up.

Edit. Oh, I got it. Not everyone.

KOC and Lindsey can't be happy about that at all.

 

[orangello]

Burkes run the PnR better than anyone else on the team. Hayward is a close second.

 

[NAOS]

sub .500 HERE WE COME!

 

[Jazz Spazz]

I am soooooo glad I forgot to watch this game.

On that subject, Favors is a million times better on the pick and roll than iso post ups, but Corbin doesn't seem to get it.

Yep

 

[Getting Traded]

On that subject, Favors is a million times better on the pick and roll than iso post ups, but Corbin doesn't seem to get it.

There is little that Corbin gets. I definitely think he has regressed and had some kind of breakdown, the way he is coaching. Why are Hornacek and Lowe allowing this to happen? They both seem like good soldiers, but damn someone has to put their foot down.

What is weird is that Locke also tweeted the following after the game:
Every player on the Jazz bench standing and cheering the Jazz 5 on the floor leading this comeback #UTAatHOU

 

[fallenchicken]

I think the player not standing was Millsap? Millsap, if you're going to phone the season end, fine, but stop with the pouty face.

 

[David Stern]

Lottery here we come! Go Blazers and Mavericks!

 

[Sneakers]

Yeah Millsap's completely mailed it in. I think he has a case analogous to "senioritis"... last semester of school (season in Utah), ready to move on, totally burned out and can't even fake it anymore.

His coach has less sense than a bag of celery and the whole world knows it. That would depress any working professional.
