I'm now getting teased at work about D Rose dropping 50 on us.

GREAT. :-(

Some of it was we were soft in D but a bunch of it was he was defended well and made a bunch of hard shots on one night and he’ll go back to shooting 35 %. Good on him, he had a great game
 
Last night was pathetic. The defense and missed free throws are unacceptable.

Why the F did we keep Thabo over Jerekbo? Still haven't seen a good explanation. We will regret this all season.

Favors is exactly who I've been saying he is - a bad fit most nights, lacks fight most nights, and overrated.

I'm thankful Rubio is showing us his hot streak last year was probably a fluke prior to re-signing him. He looks like crap.

I hope the Wiz keep crashing. Favors and Burks for Otto Porter looks perfect.

With the emergence of niang i think the jazz would be better off playing favors strictly as a backup center. Crowder, niang, and thabo could and should be the power forward rotation.

Rubio has mostly sucked. I want exum taking more of his minutes. Problem is that exum isnt much of a shooter either. Maybe cobra kai needs to get some minutes at the point guard spot? Im getting sick of ricky. Seems like his defense has gotten worse this year too.
And his turnovers too. 6 last night.
 
There are no gimmie wins any more, especially on the road. We have to show up, and compete. No excuses with our roster.

Disgusting loss. Not good on Rose. Shame on us. We shouldnt be in the business of career revival.

Expectations. Yes they are a B. Now we expect the team to win. We are trying to become an elite team. These losses affect more more.
I'm invested. Dont let me down Jazz. We want to go on a special journey with you.
 
Wow. 50!!!

I remember getting **** here for saying Utah should sign Derrick Rose when he was down and out... We didn't even have decent backup PG's at the time either.
 
Rose was absolutely amazing. Seeing him sob at the end was almost worth this loss. What a powerful, emotional moment. Their team and the fans showing him all that love was a life-affirming moment.

Stats-wise, this game was close. We were ahead in several key areas. The biggest difference was they shot 58% FG to our 49%. Rose and Towns just had excellent games. The D on Rose(especially Dante) was good, he just was unstoppable.

Favors could have been better, Rubio could have been better. Don could have been in the game at the end. And Rudy could have made a few more FT and not made that horrible post up shot. I was hoping he'd kick out to Dante for 3. Dante, Crowder, Rudy and Don had good games. Would have been nice to see Jingles drain 3's(1-6 from 3PT) and Rubio and Favors do better.

To me the best thing about last night was Dante. He was super aggressive and played excellent defense. He is a lock-down defender on anyone but Rose on one night.

We lost a road game to a team playing out of their skulls, not worried about it. Worried about Don's hammy though, we would have definitely won this game if we had him the last 5 min.

Quin needs to stop coddling Favors (and Rubio). Niang looks frickin amazing!! Deserves more time and I prefer his passing and shot selection over Crowder.

I wish...

I think we are at the stage of our team development that we should start attaching future 1sts to to get deals done. We have enough youth, nows the time to make moves, especially while the Don is on his rookie deal.
 
That last possession we get a very wide open 3 from crowder who had been hot from 3 all night and it was just a little long. We get the offensive rebound and get a pretty wide open 3 from ingles who just misses (he seems off lately). We get the offensive rebound again and crowder has a look at a 3 (would have been pretty contested though) and passes to Exum who has rose running at him and rose makes a nice block on Exums attempt (god what a game from rose). Exum would have had a very wide open three if he would have pump faked and let rose fly by before taking the shot. Hard to fault him though cause time was running down and its hard to know exactly how much time you have in a pressure situation like that. He did have time for a pump fake though.
Too bad. We had some very nice looks on that last possession.
 
Rudy missed too many free throws. On that second to last possession when he tried his post move and left hook I agree with most people that it was a bad decision. I will say however that it was actually a nice looking move and nice looking shot and it barely missed. I do like that he had the confidence to go ahead and try to be the man and take a game winning type shot with DM sidelined. Rudy is clearly an alpha and thinks like one. I love that about him.
Oh and he was amazing again tonight despite those mistakes.
Rudy last night: 33 minutes, 22 points (9-12 from the field. 75%), 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal, and only 1 turnover. Oh and he was by far the highest +/- on the the team with a +13. In a game we lost by 3 a +13 is huge. He is playing like an all star consistently each game.
 
Saltwater taffy is the worst halloween candy btw.
