Jazz VS Spurs @ 8:30 on Root Sports, ESPN 1280 AM/ 97.5 FM

Best part of tonight's win is Spurs brought their A-Game - Jazz just played a little bit better. Duncan and Parker both had solid games. Manu was a little frustrated by Carroll but he still contributed.
 
As awesome as this win is, that last shot was about as bad a look as you could get. Three feet behind the 3-point line with a hand in your face?
 
I'm still wondering, and I didn't see first half, any idea why Watson inexplicably got the back up minutes tonight?
 
Good moment for Mo after a pretty poor game. Lets talk about the real heroes of the game though - Paul Millsap and Gordon Hayward.

Hayward 19/7/6
Ginobli 8/6/5

Same minutes. The torch has been passed.

Defense. When Jazz made their move in the second period, it was defense creating offense.

Corbin made the right move and went back to it late in the game - I like Tinsely a lot but Parker is way too quick for him
 
What's gotten into Millsap lately? Someone's lit a fire under his butt!! Loved Al's fight tonight. He still sucks at defense, but he showed hustle and fight, and made a lot of plays. That steal dunk play was huge. I' becoming a big Foye fan, and Hayward, what can I say about his game tonight loved the 7 boards and 6 assists to go with his 19.

Is it a coincidence Millsap is playing like this the moment the team improves it's ball movement?

This team is coming together, that's 4 in a row
 
hayward rocked my socks!! dude was a stud tonight. played a great offensive game. loved the adjustment ty made to put hayward on parker... shut the zippy old man down... great game...
 
painful to say but big al was the player of the game. he finally played well against the spurs

enjoyed the game!

Hayward's fast break block on Neal (or was it Green?) was the turning point of the game.

Got the crowd into it and amped up Utah's defense.
 
I will say that Hayward looks like this guy when he drives under the basket for a layup in traffic.

It was so terrible. I was so upset by it. I had no hope it would go in.

I remember screaming for him to do something, and he did. It was a calculated risk, but I'm not upset by the shot selection. Mo sized him up, and don't think he'd have shot that if he thought it wouldn't go in. Also big rebound by Millsap to set up the
Sat shot.

I agree except for one thing- Duncan didn't have a solid game, he had an incredible game with 22 points 22 rebs and 6 blocks.

I'm still upset by the shot selection. Mo tried to be the MAN twice in the last 2 minutes and nearly cost us the game. I'm going to enjoy this, and I give Mo his due, but I pray he knows deep inside that he's not the guy who should be taking those shots. That said, I'm really happy.
 
Al hit some big shots but to say he was the player of the game is wrong. 4 rebounds from you Center is not acceptable. Giving up 22 points and 22 rebounds and 5 blocks (I know it wasn't ALL him) isn't player of the game.

Millsap/Hayward were the players of the game.

I fear that this game will give Mo a big head and he'll start taking more stupid clutch shots.
 
No way around it. Solid win against the hottest team in the NBA bringing their A game. The Jazz earned this one.
