Donovan Does Dallas - Saturday February 24 7:00 MST

[LifeOnaPlate]

I think we’ve got Houston in the bag... onto the Rockets game thread.

They'll be on a B2B. Maybe we'll pull off a crazy win. Like we did against Cleveland, the Warriors, the Spurs, the Raptors, and Boston. They're the only top team we haven't gotten a win against yet, right?

 

[fishonjazz]

This is playing out like a loss. Getting cooked by Dirk, JJ Barea and Douggie McBuckets

In the last many years every time I watch barea play I think that I would give up whoever our point guard is for him.

 

[fishonjazz]

Suns and Bulls giving the Blazers and Wolves real games. Let’s not blow this.

What happened in these games

 

[jazzfan1971]

My game ball goes to Ingles. I thought when we put him on Barea the whole game changed in our favor.

 

[fishonjazz]

Who do we complain to about Harpring? Holy **** that dude tries wayyyyyy too hard not to be a homer. He’s insufferable!

Agreed

 

[fishonjazz]

Two takeaways from tonight’s game:

1. Why didn’t we sign Harrison Barnes to a $23M deal? We’d be so good. Huge black eye on DL.

2. Why Donovan padding his inefficiency with two free throws with 0.5 seconds left? Ben Simmons would never do that. Probably because he wouldn’t hit the two free throws, but nevertheless.

**** barnes

**** barnes

Dude, give me one reason you wouldn’t want him at the small cost of a quarter of our cap?

Rubio looked outstanding outside of shooting the ball tonight. You guys are so one-dimensional watching basketball. Clueless really.

You guys? Like all of us here see the game the same and share all the same opinions? Get ****ed new guy.

1. Cause pgab always pimpin him
2. Cause **** him

 

[Coach Ellis]

This comes across as sarcastic to me. If so, then I agree completely. Barnes is way overpaid. No way I’d want that dude calling the Jazz out even more than they are already.

I actually don’t like Barnes. I think he puts up some pretty empty stats and don’t find him as any kind of difference maker. In the Rudy Gay, LMA camp.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Barnes might be a bit better in a winning situation, but he's still a pretty limited player for a max-contract guy. He's not the guy to chase.

 

[sgjazzfan]

They'll be on a B2B. Maybe we'll pull off a crazy win. Like we did against Cleveland, the Warriors, the Spurs, the Raptors, and Boston. They're the only top team we haven't gotten a win against yet, right?

Hopefully Houston wins in 3OT tomorrow.

Harrison Barnes is the most unremarkable player in the NBA.

Uhh, he isnt near as good as either of those players.

I don’t disagree, but I think there are a whole bunch of guys who have been deemed as fairly remarkable who will put a definite ceiling on your team’s success. Carmelo comes to mind, but for much different reasons (not at all comparing Carmelo to Barnes).

Title of the thread is pretty good, but Donnie Does Dallas would have been better.

Carmelo took his team to a Western Conference Finals...

 

[Gameface]

Okay... I had the game on DVR. Just got done screaming at my TV "Win the ****ing game Jazz! You stupid ****ing idiots, this team doesn't even want to win... beat them!"

I almost started breaking things.

 

[str8line]

Watching the game a little late... that delayed acting performance by Rubio When Dirk's knee might have grazed his nether regions was Oscar-worthy. He stiffened up, winced, grabbed his privates and went into a bit of an epileptic fit while doing a staccato dance. Dirk didn't enjoy the performance nearly as much as I did.
