Game thread: Game #24 : Utah Jazz at Indiana, Tuesday 02/07/2012 5:00 PM MST

Just finished watching the game, it was a good fight back, which both the starters and bench contributed to. I agree that al didn't finish the game well, which is an understatement. Annoying that we lost, but to try And be positive Hayward was great, and favors and kanter showed great signs on the road. There is a lot of potential there, just hope it comes to fruition. I think it is a good sign that we were in a position to win this game. As all are saying, improvement at pg position is a must.
 
That was a frustratingly entertaining game to watch, Jazz start off well but by the end of the 1st and carried over to the 2nd qtr the offense and defense really started to fall off. Then came out slow and lazy to start the 3rd but mid way through started to come back and the bench carried that momentum into the 4th qtr. Then the last 3 and 1/2 min of the game was back to frustrating between Al missing shots and his TO and Millsap as well having a TO and not be able to do anything down the stretch.

The only thing I was really upset with Corbin was giving Howard so much playing time int the 4th qtr over Hayward.

In the 2nd half I was impressed by both Favors and Kanter especially defensively.

Did Ty explain why he only played Hayward for like a minute? I know Howard was so impressive but come on. This is one where KOC needs to say something to to Ty.

If he has I haven't heard it. I guess I'm more forgiving or patient, with coach Sloan his rotations were my biggest pet peeve but then every teams fans seem to complain about their HC's sub's or rotations.
Corbin is still learning as is this Jazz team I'm willing to let them grow together and hopefully they can similar to Jerry with the young S&M.
 
Our inability to hit 3's is not what's killing us. What's killing us is wings who can't create offense. What's killing us is a PG who likes to take early clock jumpers. The offensive sets are pretty familiar -- guys pass the ball around all over the place, nothing happens, and then Al gets the ball. We break that up by running a few PnR's every now and then, and in the 1st we did get a few transition buckets. But without a backcourt that can or will press a defense, we're stuck with dumping down low and living post to post.

Billy, c'mon now, its nearly impossible for not only wings, but also bigs to create offense without three point shooting. That's basketball 101, and common sense 101.

7/7 of the best three point shooting teams are also playoff teams
Only 1/7 of the worst three point shooting teams is a playoff team (Lakers)
