Jazz @ Houston Rockettes (6pm MT Time)

Sounds like Houston is trying to blame the loss on having no energy from playing the Spurs the night before.

You come off an emotional game like we had a couple of days ago, I just don't want to take anything from [Utah]," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "They played well, they beat us and again, we know what we have to do. We're still in third place and the sun will come up tomorrow and we got to go to Chicago and win. We got to get as many wins as we can.

Beverly's quote made me laugh when asked if they were afraid of Utah:

No, hell no, you see what type of team we got," Beverley said. "We're a badass team, man. Just because we lose two that don't mean nothing. A lot of teams are scared of us and ain't nothing changed with us. We still got the swag and we still got the confidence. Not to sound cocky, teams get afraid when we play them.

I'm pretty sure it was Beverly that Ingles put on his *** at the end of the game - loved it.

As for the blaming it on the Spurs loss I don't think that's an outrageous claim. Jazz loss against the Wolves last week can definitely be attributed in part to the crazy OT loss in OKC.

It happens to every team over the course of a season.
 
i cant wait for this game to get uploaded so i can watch it

Are you talking about League Pass? For me it was available ~11 PM Eastern. Was glad I avoided seeing the score, although my son had checked it and he was smiling which was a giveaway that Jazz won.
 
Even simpler, cleaner version.

Fantastic block. Any later and it would have been in the cylinder. Great timing.
 
I know the angle is a little isometric, but look where Gordon's head is when he blocks it.

I looked. Not sure what I'm looking at really. Does the position of his head inform you of something of significance?
 
I thought Hood played great. He seems so much more comfortable as of late and has been more efficient with his shooting.

That's good, because they're going to need some scoring punch in the playoffs. If Hood and Burks can both make some shots to help Hayward, then they have a fighting chance. When the offense stagnates against good offensive teams is when they struggle. They need to slow things down and execute. Force other teams to play their type of game.

Burks, Hood and Johnson are so important. We have amazing depth with those three. Hood's inside game is needed as well - to create, draw some fouls and keeping his defender from playing off of him. When he came into the league he rarely drove to the basket - now he's confident in that area and I think it's the key to him being a 20 PPG player. His mid-range game looks better as well.
