Jazz at Dubs Official Game Thread -- 8:30PM MT: NBATV, ROOT

[MT Steve]

Some players get shown up when they go up against playoff-caliber defense.

Is Memphis a playoff-calibur defense? Hayward kicked their ***.

Some players get shown up when they go up against playoff-caliber defense.

When you always trot out a perimeter player that requires little defensive attention it happens too.

I love Haward as much as the next guy but I do wonder if he's a max player....

Am I the only one to see all the hands and pushes of the ball by GSW ? I might be wrong though...

You're not wrong. The refs let them get away with a lot.

 

[MT Steve]

Okay seriously.

Hayward has kicked *** the overwhelming majority of games this season, including against the team with the highest defensive rating in the NBA on Sunday. Are people seriously going to bitch about him and his upcoming contract on every rare occasion that he has a bad game?

 

[str8line]

I wonder if Hayward's finger is messing with him. His shot is so off.

 

[tleikheen]

Jumper brick by Hayward to start quarter

 

[str8line]

Is Ingles a max player?

 

[Jazz4ever]

Where is Hood?

 

[Ellipse]

The Jazz are 3-15 from the 3. If we don't force them to cover the perimeter, then of course they are going to shut us down in the paint. The only way to score in the paint is to drive to the basket. Passes in the lane has been the root cause of our 13 TOs.

 

[Goodluckchuck]

Hood is out. Injuries. Injuries injuries

He can't defend simple screens on out of bounds plays.

We're good guys, we are just doing the rope-a-dope. 4th quarter is going to be YUUUUGE.

 

[Coach Ellis]

3 points total from Hayward, Hood, Diaw and Exum. Jazz have a solid starting 5 (if healthy) but they need production from guys if they're out there. Otherwise it's a blowout. The only way this game is worth Rudy's effort is if somebody wrecks one of their stars and plays with some fire out there. Where's Trevor Booker when you need him? Makes me want Bogut right now.

No, probably just mentally rushing his shot because of KDs length.

What does Utah expect ,GS will go end to end if no one gets in the way ,IT's what they do ,Jazz should know this

 

[sahlensguy]

Hayward struggles when he is too much of the other teams focus. He needs good players around him. He needs Favors and Hill this game. That does not make him a bad player or a non all-star. He just isnt an elite player but we all know that. He is just a really good player.

It would be nice if Hay would outplay Slo MO Joe.

 

[tleikheen]

Jazz players won't step in to take a charge

 

[Coach Ellis]

Hard foul. Somebody have some pride. Jazz need an enforcer out there.
