Friday Nov. 19 7 pm MST: Spurs @ Jazz - Irreconcilable Differences

If u had the misfortune if paying for a ticket to go to this game go to the box office now and DEMAND a refund!!!!!!!this effort is freaking pathetic!!!
 
Offensive Rebounds. Hopefully when Memo gets back he can help with that. Maybe for now throw Fes into the game.

During the 2009 regular season, Okur averaged less than 2 offensive rebounds per 30 minutes.

Which was, of course, less than Boozer, Fesenko, Koufos, and Millsap.

The lineup of DW, Bell/Price, Miles, Millsap, and Elson brings Utah from a 6 point deficit to a 2 point deficit.

At the end of the third quarter, Jefferson -10 and Elson +10. Not a precise measure, but when you have that kind of differential, it tells you something. Unfortunately, CJ is chucking and missing.

I want to see DW-Miles-AK-PM-Elson/Fes. Not gonna happen--again. Jefferson has come back in, even though he doesn't deserve to play with the poor rebounding performance in the third quarter. Sloan (and evidently his clone Phil Johnson) has a nasty habit of just going with tradition and not analyzing what combos are really working. I think that they call such analysis in-game strategy.

I was talking about offensive rebounds allowed. Sorry for the confusion.

Still applies. A defensive rebound results in preventing an offensive rebound. Okur averaged a mere 5.3 defensive rebounds per 30 last season. This season, Elson is averaging 8.5. The answer is to play more of the centers, just like I've said all along. But this coaching staff refuses to analyze.
 
Confounded Al Geofferson continues to blow.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum continue to bench Fes despite his worth.

And something something.

This team sucks. But hey, future wins in Boston and Chicago will mean something, despite losing every meaningful game against Western powerhouses from now until May.
 
We are really missing Wes and Korver.
Just not enough shooters on this team.

Deron is shooting more jumpers, and that's not really a good thing.
Bell is not playing like a starter should.
Miles is an average role player, and he'll never be more than that. Let's just accept this fact, and move on.
 
Al Jefferson is worthless if he's not the main focus of the offense. He doesn't provide anything other than that capability. Thus, he should be the prime scorer off the bench, not standing around as a starter being basically worthless.
 
Blaire just tossing Jefferson aside like a fly at the end of the game for an offensive rebound sums up Al perfectly.

That.

The dude shined in Minny because everything went through him and that fed his desire to do other things, like grab rebounds and play some semblance of defense. Thus far in Utah the guy is completely lost. He actually looks worse the last few games than he did on the four game roadie...how that is possible is beyond me. Just a complete nitwit. He's not going to amount to a lick of anything on this club. I'm sure of that now.
 
At 2-5, our conference record is just laughable. There's no indication of a drastic change to come either.
 
I don't want to see what the Lakers are going to do Little Al...

The guy needs to go to the bench. Elson and Fes have both showed more activity and desire rebounding them him all year. The guy doesn't jump, doesn't box out, and if he just happens to be in the correct position, he doesn't stand his ground.
 
Oh well...another depressing loss at home.
Thankfully the NBA is way too long, and we'll have lots of time to turn this around.
