Game thread: Game #28 : Utah Jazz at Oklahoma, Tuesday 02/14/2012 6:00 PM MST

[BYE]

So yesterday he had good game?

It was fine. It wasn't spectacular, but it was fine for a sophomore against NBA starters. It's a matter of expectations.

I never hated Locke as a radio guy (although I haven't listened to him regularly since before he moved to Seattle). I just don't like his game broadcasting. Too many stats and sidebars, as if the game is getting in the way of what he wants to talk about, and tries to be too clever with the quips, like the 'sweet' comment above.

Glad idont have to listen to that ****.

 

[Cope]

Was hoping by me not commenting would help us tonight..... Ummmmm yeah.

 

[Fishsticks]

OKC valentines day massacre. Happening right here tonight. This will be the signal for koc to realize it's time to finish what he started nearly one year ago.

Just sayn

How bow Jeffersons 5 rebounds an 40 some odd percent shooting. Go get em fat al.

 

[sepanol]

the dunk kanter missed today was really ridiculous and made me laugh, but i just checked the stats and there are only 5 players in the league who played more than 20 games and average better rebounding per 48 min than enes.

 

[prodigy]

All he does is Lin!

oh wrong thread

 

[udflyer]

Tonite's game does not bug me. I expected a loss.

Last nite's loss bugs me.

We should have been 2-1 on this road trip after a great Memphis win.

If he is still missing all these bunnies after all star break I'll be a little concerned. Still chalking it up as rust as of now.

He has the Jefferson like ability of making really easy shots harder than they have to be by either fading away when he is right in front of the rim, or not using the backboard to his advantage. Hopefully he can correct those early and they don't become habit forming like Jefferson's have.

He has already made great strides here. You have not noticed? The chip shots he missed early in the season are falling now at a better rate.

Hayward and Miles combined to shoot 1 for 10. Josh Howard's 3-for-10 performance brings our SFs to 4 for 20 (20%) as a group. Nice.

 

[Weezur]

Kanter's mistakes are correctable...he needs to learn how to not bring the ball down.
I love his motor, rebounding, shooting stroke, and footwork. Even if he never makes that 2 ft shot, I'm still happy just because there's few times in the game where he really slacks off.

 

[Brown Notes]

Thank you St. Valentine, for saving me from two ridiculous losses.

 

[Weezur]

It's just not fun to watch a Jazz game when:
1) The starting lineup is playing (Unless Hayward is aggressive)
2) Milsap-Jefferson combo is playing
3) When Howard or CJ are chucking.
4) When Harris gives up after a 6 point lead or so.

This is exactly how I feel.

Rested Thunder throttle weary Jazz 111-85 - (AP)

 

[chawx]

These guys should not be "weary"... Al and Paul sat the whole 4th last night. But, if they're tired and dont want to play, then do a line up of Tinsley, Burks, Evans, Favors, and Kanter and see what happens...at least we might see some effort?

 

[The Thriller]

Hmm...

The fringe playoff Jazz throttled on the road by the league's #1 team? Meh. Tell me something I didn't already expect or know.

It's games like these that make games against teams like NO even more important. Some teams, are going to kill you. There's no chance in hell we're going to beat some of the top teams in the league. That's why, ya gotta mop up the floor against crappy injury depleted teams like NO.

I think the Jazz are being exposed. Noooooo they're weren't that #4 or #5 seed everyone was predicting a few weeks ago.

We're seeing this team for what it truly is. A horrible road team. A good home team. An average NBA team that thrived under a pattycake schedule.

 

[The Thriller]

You know you're in trouble when Josh Howard has only 1 less assist than your starting PG....


There are 3 players I don't want to see anymore... Devin Harris, CJ, and Howard.

I'm going to be really angry if Harris is still on this roster come trade deadline... If we can get a late 1st rounder I'd be happy
