Game 3: The Phoenix: Philadelphia 76ers @ Utah Jazz (12/30/11, 7pm MST)

Great team play by the Jazz ... and then there's Bell.

I so wish there wasn't any Bell

Lou Williams is what I wish Miles was.

Yep. I had no idea he was that good. Isn't he the guy that bought McDonalds for a guy that pulled a gun on him? On and off the court yo.

I liked the defensive effort tonight. It was nice to see Josh Howard make a contribution. He actually made a few shots. Played very good defense. Favors, Harris and Hayward really stepped it up tonight. Kanter played well. The only disappointing think was that Burks didn't get to play. I still cannot figure out why Bell plays over him. Seriously, this seems like a Sloan move when he played Palacio over DW.

 

[cjs55]

Ha.

To be fair, they didn't know Big Al wasn't going to play.

 

[Zulu]

Filling vindicated after dropping 90 bucks on tickets for Monday's game against NOH and 20 bucks at the sports bar tonight. Go Jazz!!

 

[craig2112]

Just think...Boozer was supposedly a 20-10 guy.

Well, Favors had 20-11 tonight.
And I like him MUCH better than Boozer

He's so bad defensively. I can't tell if he's just slow or isn't trying.

 

[Revolution 9]

I really think my 33 year old *** could do more than Bell this year

I bet your *** could space the floor a lot better....

Man I wish Cedar was closer to SLC so I could easily go to games. As it is it costs the tickets, a hotel, 2-3 gas tank refills, dinner and breakfast at least. Ugh...

When Kanter plays with Favors, he adds to Favors strengths ... that is a huge difference from covering for someone's weakness.

 

[udflyer]

Favors ability for only his second year is unreal.

Hayward is coming along nice as well. He may have been outmanned at the 3 but he held his own. Ty put him back to the 3 the last 2 minutes.

Effort by whole team was incredible.

 

[davidbenoit]

Can Favors play the 5 full time?

Jefferson starting: Jazz blown out by 30 and 20
Millsap starting: Jazz win by 3

Playing at home helps

Millsap is our best player right now, he might not be at the end of the season but he needs to start. Jefferson is way above average offensively but he doesn't bring anything else to the table.

 

[Jazz Traveler]

I wouldn't mind seeing Jefferson sit out for a couple weeks just to see Millsap and Favors stay in the starting lineup. The offense looked so much better without Jefferson, way more ball movement.

 

[davidbenoit]

With Jefferson coming in with the second unit he wouldn't be as liable on defense and would be instant offense.

Sample size: 3 games.

Two losses on the road, one win at home.
Two losses, Burks plays, one win Burks does not play.
Two losses, I watch, one win I do not watch.

Hmmmmm... Coincidence?
