Jazz @ Wizards, 2/26, 3pm MT (5pm ET for me)...

The teams able to pay Hill though means he would spend the rest his career on a non playoff team. Is that how Hill wants to go out? Only exception would be if SA can clear space for him.

they can, and he has a home there.

Legend has it that if you look Russell in the eyes, he will grant you some extra athleticism

Concerns from the game - our bench was trash, except for a couple of moments from JJ and Diaw, but Snyder adjusted by playing our starters for long stretches. Hope that doesn't come back to bite us against OKC, but everyone should still be fresh from the All-Star break.

We also fell apart late in the 3rd quarter and let our 24-point cushion be cut in half by the end of the quarter, then be halved again to 6 with two minutes left. Hayward restored our double-figure lead with two unanswered buckets around a Wall turnover, but we then bumbled our way through the final minute or so, turning it over twice and failing to score a field goal, amongst other misdemeanours. We couldn't even execute when they waved the white flag and brought in the scrubs - who knew inbounding the ball was such a difficult thing?

Think it's pretty much impossible to keep a team like the Wizards from being able to make a run at home, it's just inevitable.

did he get ejected? or just fouled out?

becuase if your fouled out you are allowed to stay on the bench

He was ejected.

Correcting some other replies - a Flagrant is not equivalent to a Tech. A Flagrant-1 counts as a personal foul and the penalty is two shots and possession. A Tech does not count as a personal foul and the penalty is one free throw.

In the same way you are ejected for two techs, you are also ejected for two Flagrant-1s, but you can have one of each.

I believe his tech and ejection was for not throwing the ball to the official and it ended up hitting someone in the front row. This constitutes "throwing the ball into the stands" and is covered by an explicit rule (in this case, the second sentence):

Any player who throws or kicks the ball directly into the stands with force, regardless of the reason or where it lands, will be assessed a technical foul and ejected. All other instances where the ball ends up in the stands will subject the player to a possible technical foul and ejection.

Burke EXPLODES tonight for zero points.

Lol

 

[fishonjazz]

I admit I too was one that questioned if he's worth the max. But time and time again he has proven me wrong. Pay the dude already. (As I once again eat crow)

Yes, let's all dwell on the couple negatives right after we kick *** on one of the hottest teams in the NBA and the 3rd best home record in the NBA.

Say what you want about Markieff Morris, at least he is honest.

Someone should start a (Hayward) All Nba team race thread.

 

[jazzVA]

Just got back from the game—THAT was fun…an excellent road win…the Jazz were just simply dominant inside…and Gordo had the crowd oohing and awing…outside of a few yahoos the crowd seemed to recognize why the Jazz shot 19 more free throws…the Wiz D was constantly out of position and playing catch-up while the Jazz knew, for the most part, where they needed to be and were waiting for them…well done!

on a flatter jazz note you just have to see Exum in person to realize how bad he actually sucks…I swear there is no sweat at the end of that game if not for the few minutes he was on the floor…he would have all he could handle as a mid-major college guard…

I also saw more Jazz fans at this game than any previous game in DC over the last 5 years…not a ton mind you, but build it and they will come…

We all know as soon as someone does that he is going to have an awful game.

I for one think he deserves to make an all nba team regardless of his race.

He looked probably worse than he has all season, even watching on the broadcast to be fair. I don't think people should be too quick to jump on him, he's been good lately but will undoubtedly have plenty of ups and downs throughout the rest of the season.

To be fair, I think it would do us all well to acknowledge the negatives in games like this, just as it would be good if we could relish the positives from our next loss. Unless Mantis is just always a negative nancy, I don't know their post history.

We didn't "kick ***". We had some good stretches, but we had some awful ones as well. Inability to hold big leads has cost us several Ws this season, this could easily have gone the other way when they had the momentum with 2 minutes left.
