[Ron Mexico]

Mitchell is very aggressive tonight! Let's take the lead for the half!

 

[str8line]

Poor Zion sucks everyone in then has to kick out to Ball.

 

[zyzz]

Ayy finally got over the hump. Would be demoralizing to have the lead at half.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Damn! Nice take Conley!

 

[str8line]

The sound engineers do an incredible job with the crowd noise.

 

[jazzVA]

They just said it's Stan Van Gundy. I'm not buying it. Maybe it's Tony Soprano.

Cliff Claven...

Oni has better length and is quicker. The change of style could bother him. It's better then just letting him go. Why not try your supposed best wing defender when a guy is hot to try and bother him. He needs a few minutes every night anyways. If is doing well let him stay longer.

I mean maybe. I think Oni is laterally about the same as Royce and he plays off guys a bit... not sure how effective he’d be.

 

[KqWIN]

I have no idea how we are s

So what's the way to defend him when he has the ball on the 3 point line? Do you just have to stay 6 feet away from him and let him shoot wide open?

If you spear yourself at him in a straight line it's an instant foul. Have to land to the side of him or go straight up and down. It's not hard, just a focus thing.

Nice to see the Jazz shoot well from FTs this game 15/15 so far.

Cliff Claven...

LOL

 

[KqWIN]

It's incredible how we are still in this game let alone winning. Almost feels wrong, but I'll take it. Hopefully we can get some stops in the second half.

 

[homeytennis]

We weathered some major suckiness in the 1st quarter. I think we will be OK.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

We're so bad at these baseline out of bounds plays lol. Everyone stands around for 4 seconds then we barely get it in to someone.

We’ve run the same curl play forever. It gets us corner threes that go in a fair amount but it does seem to end in a toss out to Rudy.

 

[JazzForLifee]

I love this team. So many weapons

They started the game shooting 8/11 from 3 and we are ahead at halftime.

lol

 

[framer]

I don't care who he plays for, I have always loved me some Steven Adams.

 

[LogGrad98]

Just an update for everyone:
Burks is back tonight for the Knicks and so of course the Knicks have the lead.

Thanks melothejaz... Hey wait a minute!

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The Jazz have a few more offensive weapons than the Pels. Pels went nuclear in the 1st quarter, but things are starting to normalize. Jazz need a good 2nd half to close.

A few 3s by Conley would be welcome.

If we can get some non-DM shooters going and not fall asleep on defense we might win this.

The defense has been solid in spurts but then we just flat out ball watch and Ingram gets a three or dunk or Ball gets a layup.
