Jazz at Clippers, 12/28/2013 8:30PM

Kanter in the 2nd quarter had a block I didn't think he was capable of, the block above the rim on Byron Mullens, so I think Kanter can be more athletic then we think.

Kanter is not bad at athleticism, he is just average, maybe could get a little better.
 
BIG-AL is a very good defending Big, one of the best in the entire League. Favors and Kanter right now even together are not able to defend like AL did by his one. Griffin really played impressive O today, despite his 8 TO, but with BIG-AL on the court he would have like 10 points this game.

If You love Amerika, you have to love BIG-AL Jefferson...
Why do they call him BIG AL though?
 
No, oh my god,you ****ing pervert what are thinking of bro. Iam talking about his BIG heart, he is the Robin Hood from Basketball, helping out smaller franchises, despite of his Chance going against multiple Championchips.

what are you calling me a ****ing pervert? whats so bad about havin a enes kanter fathead? thats what i was talkin bout. i thought every1 had 1, and u were sayin BIG AL had a big 1.
what were u thinking about? maybe YOU are the pervert bro.

Good move,defensively,hehe, but AL will pump Fake and go beside it.
Hmmm, Locke knows best about BIG-AL Jefferson´s BIG heart, ask him on Twitter, he was feeling it...
 
Jazz are so far away from being a playoff team... let a lone a contender. The best performances of the night came from Jefferson and Willams... two players who aren't in our future. Some on this board say that we are in a similar position as the Thunder were... The difference is that our young "stars" aren't playing really well. Please oh please get Jabari
 
In this bizarre season of "Bad Wins" (they hurt our draft position) and "Good Losses," I've put together a "Tanking Ranking System" for evaluating each game as to whether we Jazz fans should feel good about it. Based on this system, we can decide if the team moved forward with our stated strategy of Discovery, Development and Defense. It's a 10-point system, with 8-10 points representing an excellent outcome, 5-7 representing an acceptable result, and 0-4 representing "negative tanking." There are 12 performance benchmarks, and I'll use the Clippers game for the evaluation.
1) +2 if Jazz hold a team under 100 (+2 -- Clippers scored 98)
2) + 2 if Jazz score +100points -- (0, Jazz scored 90)
3) -2 if Jazz win (no deduction -- (Jazz lost 98-90)
4) +1 if Burks plays 30 minutes 0 (He played 23)
5) +1 if Favors plays 30 minutes 0 (22 because of foul trouble)
6) +1 if Burke plays 30 minutes 1 (38)
7) +1 if Kanter plays 30 minutes 1 (31)
8) -1 if Jefferson/Williams play a combined 30+ (-1, 59)
9) -1 if Lucas plays 5+ minutes (-1, 11)
10) +1 if Jazz have 23+ assists (+1, 24)
11) -1 if Jazz have 16+ turnovers (-1, 19)
12) If Jazz lose by less than 10 points (+1, 8)

Grading scale:
9-10 A
7-8 B
5-6 C
3-4 D
0-2 F

Clippers game grade: 5 points/C-

It will be easy for Lindsey to determine Coach Corbin's grade with this system. I'll post this evaluation in the game thread after each game.

It's crazy when our YOUNG players are in new starting/heavier minutes roles are playing bad. Wow they all suck wish they were younger and could just automatically be star players.

Well if they didn't have to precede a position, and wait so long for it.. we'd probably have already sat through these growing pains. Atleast this team knows what to work on over the offseason.

I still have high hopes for all of our youth, even the Underkanter.

The Thunder have 2 franchise players, Westbrook and Durant.

If the Thunder had merely "built" around role players like Ibaka (Favors) and sefolosha (Hayward) then they would be like us.

If the Jazz are to really copy the Thunder model then they must first obtain just one franchise player. Just one would be a good start. Perhaps Wiggins, Parker, or Randle will be our Durant?
