Game Thread: Perfect Trading Partners Faceoff

Jazz down by 10 at the end of the third. Enes Kanter -- 2:15 of game time, Burks -- 0:00 of game time. And why am I still watching this damn game?

Because "We are Utah Jazz"

wicked block! jeremy!

No Burks = TOTAL boredom. I wish Jazz games were fun to watch

For the first time ever, I don't think I could care any less about the outcome of any game. I pretty much watch to see how/if the young guys develop, and completely lose interest once vets come back in.

Say what you want about me, but as soon as the starters aka "players that will be gone by the end of next year at the latest" I will be changing the channel.

I can't stand watching Corbin closeups: the dazed stare like he just can't figure out what went wrong. Look in the mirror, ****head.

Worst coaching performance I can recall ever seeing. Maybe at halftime corbin decided that its time to tank for lottery picks.

Been my attitude since game 1.

I started watching when we were up 18-10 than we proceeded to shoot ourselves out of the lead. Josh Howard can be pretty awful at times.

Seriously how do you just barely play or not play one of your lottery picks at a position that you are obviously weakest at? Especially when Burks has shown he can be productive when he gets minutes.

Favors matched Al Jefferson's output tonight. That could be seen as a milestone of sorts, not that the numbers were that fantastic.

Philly announcers spent the entire game complaining about the calls and saying that the Jazz get away with a lot of stuff, but I'm pretty sure Philly got more calls on their side. It's hard to say for sure, because the NBA rarely shows instant replays anymore -- I think so as to obscure the bad calls.

Kanter, favors, and burks combined - 33:08 53% fg



Al jefferson - 32:18. 42% fg


Result: loss and no development.

Boo.

But the veterans are adding a lot of intangible things that really benefit the universe that don't show up in the boxscore. This is why other people get paid money to do what you and I do for free.

Whoever the color guy is for the 76ers is in Scott Hastings territory of being a total whining bitch.

I hate NBATV only because it forces me to watch opposing broadcasts. I paid for League Pass so I should be able to watch the Jazz broadcast, NBATV be damned.
