Magic at Jazz GET IT RIGHT UP YE!!!

I like how Snyder is staggering Favors and Gobert.

It seems like this is a game where a small lineup plus Rudy would be dominant. Rudy Hayward Hood Burks and Hill

I think this is what we'll see in the playoffs. Gobert and Favors start the game together, but then they'll go small ball with combinations of Hayward, Hood, Hill, Lyles, Burks, Jingles and JJ. Stagger Gobert and Favors from that point until the end.
 
I'm still expecting something bad.. like a broken kneecap or something. meniscus, etc. did not look good

Guys... he's dead... it's over... ain't no coming back from death.
 
my bad. never heard someone walked or ran with blown acl lol
Never heard of Ben Handlogten?

SL Trib said:
Handlogten evidently tore the ACL during Utah's Delta Center overtime win over Toronto last Friday night, though it was initially believed he had only strained and/or hyperextended the knee.

After sitting out Sunday night at Sacramento, in fact, Handlogten played 25 minutes at home against Philadelphia on Monday night, scoring six points and pulling down nine rebounds despite obvious pain from the ligament tear.

Last night I checked the defensive ratings, the Jazz were comfortably #1 in the NBA ahead of SAS and MEM.
This morning I checked the box-score to see the Jazz allowed 42 points in the Q1. In their home court... against a below 0.500 EC team..

I think this team relaxes a lot when they're heavy favorites. In fact bookies favored the Jazz +12 to win this one, largest spread I remember in a while. Our team need to learn not to be spoiled and bring their A game no matter what.

Good thing is 1. We have a deep team. 2. We have kind of a European style team management, i.e. it's not players that make the calls but the coaches and only coaches. So let's say Hayward does seem lost, well give some of his minutes to Ingles or JJ.. or Burks (who is coming strong!! by the way.)

Meanwhile good luck to Coach Q with distributing minutes now. Well I think we need to make some trade to address the log jam.

Which log jam do you think needs to be addressed?
 
-Burks energy was a big impact on keeping us in the game. Our team seemed a step slow in the 1st QT. We desperately needed that spark.
-Hill looked tired, and I thought it was his worst performance in a Jazz uniform.
-I like how Quin is rotating the 1. If someone is struggling, put someone else in. We can play with this a little before we tighten the rotation for good.
-Hayward and Gobert powered through fatigue, and gave us just enough.
-Quietly Favors is coming back. He was one of the only Jazz players doing anything in the 1st QT. Then late the huge dunk +1. He's close to being "back".

Of course we were less than 2 minutes away from having a REALLY good ending. Hood was going down court to really start to put the hammer down. We were about to go up 6.
At least the injury doesnt look really bad, and with Alec looking so good it will soften the blow. A win is still a win, and there were quite a few times I thought we were going to let this one slip away. Magic really came at us hard. Give them some credit.

I only caught the last minute or two but Hill's two dishes to Ingles for his threes, we're sweet.
 
Hill still did some positive things. He just looked frustrated, and a step slow all night.

I agree. and his shot was off (0-5 from three is really going to bring that percentage)

That 3 which has been so steady for him was off. His form is so good I feel like every time he shoots its going in. Its the same form
on almost every shot. Just wasnt falling last night.
