I'm going to like it when the Spurs go out in the 2nd round.

It's tough to win when your bigs never box out and never draw fouls. In fact, our team is backwards. Our guards are best near the basket. Our bigs are best far away and casting off.

So.......any thoughts about Millsap going 1 for 8 for 2 pts. in the middle of our grand playoff surge?

I can give you lists and lists with plays upon plays where Milsap excels, but I'll be quick.
Did you really not see Al being outboxed out by Tim Duncan like 5 times in the 4th quarter when the Jazz had a chance?
It's the little things dude. That's how the Spurs win, that's how Chicago wins. Yeah, both teams have 2 great PG's....but everybody on these two teams rotate, grab bounds, and do what they're supposed to. You can't win many games without the little things.

Multiple lotto picks or 4 more games like the one we had today?
And how exactly are these blowouts benefiting anyone? Especially the "young" players?
It's funny to see the pro-playoff minority talk about how the beneficial the playoffs would be when we barely beat teams like Golden St. Then they are no where to be found when we're blown out by playoff teams... Teams who we will face in the 1st round...
Give me the lotto please. Screw the playoffs. This team can't be competitive in the playoffs. Plain and simple.

Haven't been the same as what? Sure, they went on a nice little win streak with a couple big wins against LA and OKC, but they look like exactly the same team that has the 4th worst road record in the west. I think it's natural for fans to hope that the team has somehow turned a corner whenever they go through a good stretch, but teams with really bad road records just don't turn into a good teams overnight.
Looks like the same team to me. Middle of the road, borderline playoff team, who will be nothing more than a road apple if they somehow do sneak into the playoffs.
Millsap's probably not going to box-out Tim Duncan either, though not due to a lack of trying.

Agree. I don't blame fans for wanting their team in the playoffs, but the arguments being made that getting swept would have more value than adding another asset are a bit of a stretch, and that's putting it politely.

Hey, missed the game. Someone give me a quarter by quarter summary.

you da man
Favors seemed to do well in the 4th quarter, making a difference on both ends. However, the Jazz don't have a take-the-game-over kind of player right now. This is where having a more solid PG and a fearless shooter would be helpful.

Typical of what we've seen the past ohhh 7-10 games, Jazz don't show up in the first half... Sorta show up in the 2nd... But it's much too little too late. Jefferson failed to box out. Millsap looked gassed. Young guys played hard and looked good. And we left 3 point shooters wide open...
Anything more?
