Between them, Favors, Gobert and Mitchell went 9-20 from the line. Ouch.

This is the only reason it was semi close. Knock down half of the misses, and it’s a solid lead throughout. Most of the game they let the Grizzlies stay close and feel good about their efforts.
 
Haven't read this thread yet. But is that the most egregious tanking yet? How can the NBA allow that. Sitting a guy that is hotter than the sun, out of fear they would win. They shouldn't be allowed to hide behind 'giving young guys experience' - because in most cases those guys aren't part of their long term plans. Heck they had two guys consistently out there who were on 10 day contracts!!

I thought the same. Just from the opposite direction. As in, don't be quick to proclaim him a future cornerstone of the team.

He had a good game. And I hope he continues to have good games. I couldn't care less about "eating crow".

I expected 10-15ppg from Dante this year, think he'll get to double digits before the end of the season.

Just another ****** performance by the Jazz. Had it not been for the Grizz resting Gasol in the 4th it would have been another game -and loss - like the one against the Hawks. Mitchell again gets his points but is very inefficient. He's more like Carmelo than DWade right now. Just plain unwatchable (except for Dante). Keep this up and the Jazz have a better chance of running the table in a negative fashion than challenging for the 4th seed.

Damn. You just think it’s an auto loss if gasol keeps playing?
Were we down by 20 or something when he was in?

Would have definitely been harder if he kept playing but acting like it’s a sure loss? You really don’t like this team much and think we suck huh?

Yeah i don't buy this either, Gasol is not going to keep shooting the lights out all game, I mean he's no LMA. That Spurs game still pisses me off, I would say tho that overall we are not firing like we were 10 or so games ago, I'd really like to see an upturn in aggression and focus from here on, maybe guys are tired, I think Donovan looks a little tired, but we really need to close out the season strong. Maybe we drop the Portland game but we should win every other one. Did anyone have us winning 48 games at the start of the season?

Yeah, they look kind of gassed. I'm not really surprised because they've been playing at a high emotional level for a while now and that is sometimes as burning as physical exhaustion. That said, I only see two real problem games in the future with Minn. and PDX. If they finish 4-2, the Jazz will be golden.
 
Those complaining, you realize Houston nearly lost to Phoenix at home last night? Green hit a three with 0.3 seconds left to put them up by 1, otherwise they lose.
