What's new

It's the most wonderful time of the year (first game of the year!). Hou @ Jazz Game 1 of many.

Also, I thought Burks played his best game so far. He didn't force anything expect when he had too and he played some great individual defense, at times, on Harden.

Our perimeter defense and help defense was horrible. I think Kanter will lose his starting spot by new years... we cannot afford to have him as a liability against starting 4s. He just gets abused. He might be somewhat OK against subs... Pretty much every other combination of 4/5 that didn't include Kanter did well against Howard.

I think Quin took Exum out way too early in the first half. He was having great time in the game, he seemed to get his confidence up and just then he took him out... I don't think that was good move.

I thought so, too until they cut to him on the bench. He looked extremely gassed. More than normal.

Hayward had a great game other than shooting and scoring?

Wow.

The theater was fantastic other than Lincoln being assassinated.

I don't give a damn how many assists he has, max players have got to be able to shoot and score. The hayward cheerleaders are taking homerism to a new level. Not even Locke and Checkettes are deepthroating the way some of you are.

Now, kanter sucked and honestly might not be an effective NBA player. A poor man's Jefferson will never amount to a winning team.

The offense looked good tonight. We manufactured a lot of easy buckets and open shots. I wish we would continue to feed Favors. Booker is Millsap II. I'd like to see what Novak can do. Burks/Burke, when playing well, leave little time for Exum. It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out this year.

Overall, Houston went small and just burned us. They're a tough team. We needed a wing to somewhat match them. Hayward was the guy. He failed. I so would rather have Parsons over Hayward. Or hell, Ariza. Ariza had 20 pts.

At least we're playing a more exciting brand of basketball.
 
Lol at the complaining and bashing


YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!!!


Go jazz!!!!
 
Can't be too upset, we got beat by a REALLY good team that shot the ball well. We could have played better, but sometimes you have to tip your hat to the opponent.

Also, anyone else worried that the Jazz organization really botched the development of Kanter? Assigning Big Al as his mentor from the get-go was a major mistake. It feels like he can't decide if he wants to be Big Al, Dirk, or Paul Shirley.
 
Thought it was a decent effort. Can't leave Ariza and that other white dude wide open like that. Substitutions were a bit erradict and I'm not sure why we had hood guarding harden in the first half.

Booker looks great... Kanter was good in the first half, but at some point booker replaces kanter.

We missed a ton of open shots tonight... A few more go in and we are in business.
 
****ty thing is that I felt like we really outplayed Houston in the 2nd quarter, like we should have been up 10 points, but all the 3's from the European just killed us..
 
Can we please stop referring to Hayward as a max player. He got the max that was available to him not the max that a player can get paid. He is still getting paid much less than a "max player".

I have no idea why you are bashing on Hayward! He played an all around great game, with the exception of shooting... He has 8 rebounds and 7 assists, he was distributing the ball nicely and creating open shots... Just his own shots were not falling and the refs screwed him up on several non-calls... With that said... he needs to knock most of those open shots down!

You pretty much can copy and paste this exact sentence to describe Gordon Hayward's performance after 70-75 games per season...
 
Game was lost at the 3-pt line. Jazz shot 17%. The Rocket 52%. Bloody hell, can we not run teams off the 3-pt line?
And as much at it pains some, The Thriller was spot on. Hayward HAS to hit his shots. 3-11 is NOT good enough for a max player.
 
Funny how all the Hayward haters are coming out of the wood works after he has one bad offensive performance and where completely silent the entire preseason.
 
Exum getting yanked in the 1st was prett lame and Kanter played 15 minutes more than he should have. Need to tighten up the rotation and I don't think Kanter has more than a bit role. HE CANT SHOOT THREES. Just had to get that out for all the birdbrains on that wagon.

I think Kanter can shoot 3's, they just have to be in better rhythm and more open than what he has been taking. Seems like he hesitates each time he takes one.

I thought he was not nearly as bad as his stat line. He does a lot of things that don't show up. Yes...we know he is not a max player. We knew this before tonight. Time to get over it.
