Its clutch that Heyward is out. If we keep up the good work on defense and dont turn the ball over, we win.

Is this the official "Demarcus is playing so we're gonna lose" thread?
• Boogie is out. Ez win.

That was the most Mormon national anthem I've ever seen

Gobert is giving us trouble early.

Let's just sacrifice Asik to Gobert. Maybe that'll appease him.

Gobert got everybody spooked

I mean the jazz are shooting 64% from 3 while also having double the amount of rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks as us. It's pretty clear why they are winning so big.

Pels run 2 guys at Exum so that George Hill can hit the open 3 #PelsLife

The Jazz is just a bad matchup for us ...

Every team we play have much better spacing than we do, even when we go small. I don't understand it. AD coming out strong tho

We need to slow Gobert down. 4 points and 3 blks in 6 minutes...

Lmao didn't realize Jeff Withey still was in the league

Sounds like the Jazz coach is a smart guy.

Man, frick you rodney

They are killing us inside and with 3's. way more physical than our guys are.

AD even getting shut down by Withey now. That's something I never thought I'd say. I'm just gunna go to bed. I'm not staying up past midnight to watch us lose by 30 again.

They just keep making fricking threes

There is no way in fricking hell they are close to this good from 3

Literally zero help for AD tonight.

Utah can't miss a fricking 3 if they wanted to

This scrub Ingles is the reason we will lose. Always some nobody having a huge game
• Some nobody?!? You mean to tell me you don't know Joe motherfricking Ingles?!?!
• I know of him, but he's a C- level player
• Ingles has been a pretty stout role player for them TBH. If I wasn't slightly concerned about his age I would really like to sign him this offseason as a cheap contract.*Guy is shooting 43% on threes and is top 10 on catch and shoot threes. Above Reddick and Klay.
• He's 29. Don't let his baldness fool you
• It is funny that many of You expect Ingles to come to NO for a cheap...*
o First -he is being followed by many teams.*
o Second-he is happy in Utah (all this extending stuff and tax with Utah looks more and more interesting)*
o Third - he will get more than new MLE.*
o Collison might be MLE guy. Ingles or Mills are outside this range. ..


Contrary to popular belief, most NBA players can shoot a 3 at a pretty good clip when there is no defender within 15 feet of them. Seems to happen a lot against us.

Who else isn't surprised the jazz decide to start hitting their 3s against us

We're shooting 56% as a team they've just made 6 more 3s than us

Crazy we're shooting 60% as a team and losing

And that 3? frick this game

Cunningham made Ingles look like an MVP contender tonight. Never seen such bad defense from an individual player

AD once again reminding everyone he's still the best big in the game. Gobert you ain't **** (Note: This comments is not approved by JazzAvenues!)

Idk man they've been hitting everything. We're shooting 57% as a team. Besides allowing too many open 3s were not playing bad, they are just playing great

I don't understand why we keep leaving Ingles, Hill and Hood to run Exum off the line... dude probably has 3 or 4 assists from that alone

Why are the Jazz our kryptonite of all teams?

They're shooting 57% from 3
• Maybe if we guarded them once in a while they wouldn't be.
• Instead we've got Moore standing still as a statue watching Ajinca and Neto fighting over the ball only to have Neto pass to his man not but 4 feet away from him. Can't expect them to miss threes when you're not even pretending to be interested in guarding them.
• I'm pretty sure they haven't missed a 3 from the corner yet
• Top of Form

The type of shots Utah have been getting just seem to be much higher quality looks than ours. Still a game though hopefully they turn this around

We aren't even trying to get AD the ball anymore. I don't think he's touched it since coming back onto the floor. Absolute embarrassment when you can't get your players organized enough to know not to constantly take stupid shots and to slow it down to set some plays.

They have no issue getting into the lane at all on us tonight

Joe Johnson and ingles just went so clutch on us Goddamn.... Edit: Hood too...

These f***ers can't miss tonight

15/27 from 3 from a poor 3pt shooting team. We got outplayed tonight

Can't really hope to win if you let them shoot 55.6% from 3

Crazy shots to make again and again by them.

Nothing but nut shots to close it down.

This is ridiculous, three shots in a row that were terrible looks and they all go in. Not surprised that it happened against us but whatever.

Some of these makes are unbelievable. Ingles hasn't missed all night...literally. Joe Johnson's inefficient arse is hitting contested 18 foot fadeaways. Ugh

There is nothing you can do about the last few shots by the Jazz. Great defense but it still went in.

The Jazz are really good now. Reminds me of the old Spurs.

For an old man Joe Johnson was balls to the wall that second half.

I'm in such a pissed off mood because I actually wasted time to watch this.

Well Utah is the best defensive team in the league also...we lost because of the pels inability to guard the three tonight...

So I didn't know we player the Golden State Rockets tonight. Just couldn't miss 3's

Jazz just hitting timely shots late, not much we can do on many of those possessions,

We shoot 3's like we are actually a 3 point shooting team. That's not our game this year. Ball movement sucks as usual. Seems like there's hardly ever any plays being ran. Just kinda get it how you live out there most of the time. I watch other teams move the ball so much better than us night after night.

Welcome to pelicans basketball... AD and Jrue are rolling and they don't shoot the ball because we need to give the worst supporting cast in the league more contested 3s. Way to go team!

We all witnessed*Joe Ingles*dismantle the Pelicans stifling defense and put the whole team on his back in the process.

The Jazz made every tough shot in the 4th*

Utah shoots scorching 15/27 from three-point range, highlighting 108-100 win over #Pelicans
 
Why are people saying we are a poor 3pt shooting team? 13th in 3s per game and 11th in 3pt%. Not really poor... average maybe, but not poor

Love it, from what you posted and what I also read they do not appreciate Gobert. Anthony Davis is better offensively, but not defensively.
I wish someone could've reminded that poster of AD's previous game against us this season:
.379 %FG, 10.5 rpg, 16 ppg. A far cry from the insane numbers he normally puts up.

Not to mention Gobert put up another 20 point game. 20, 19 and 5.

There is no one in the league as a pivot/center position that covers more space than Gobert and threatens the diameter close to the rim especially drive lanes that get free after pick and rolls. Gobert is the major Pick and Roll killer for the opposition.
 
"15/27 from 3 from a poor 3pt shooting team. We got outplayed tonight"

Poor 3pt shooting team? Huh? We're 11th in the NBA in 3pt%, 13th in 3pt makes. The Jazz are always lowkey and overlooked around the league.

Comments like that are usually intended as a complaint about one's own team more than they reflect accurately on the opposition IMO

I'm in such a pissed off mood because I actually wasted time to watch this.

I am familiar with this feeling. It sucks.
 
As always, great fun and much appreciated. Particularly enjoyed the discussion about Ingles. It was great to see him have a couple of Iso plays and take a bigger role offensively.
 
I love how every time the Jazz win opposing fans all comment that he's the reason. Makes you think.

That was the most Mormon national anthem I've ever seen

****. I was sitting at work watching this and turned to a co-worker and said,

"Only in ****ing Utahr."

It makes me really happy when I hear people make fun of utah.

I hear that utah has the fastest growing population in the entire US and heard a prediction about what our population will be like in 2022. I can't remember the number now but it was insanely high.

I want everyone to stay out utah. So I'm glad when people see or hear or think things like this about utah in the hopes that it deters them from wanting to move here.

I'm actually happy about utah changing it's DUI limit to .05 cause its something that many people won't like and hopefully scares some people off due to our "weirdness".

Sucks when I try to go fishing or camping or to a national park and everything is super crowded.

Thanks Mormons!!!

Agree. I'm seriously thinking about buying a house/condo soon since I know property pricing is going to go through the roof very quickly (it's already going up fast). Makes me sad.

STAY OUT OF OUR POLYGAMIST INCEST **** HOLE THE REST OF YE, US BACKWATER PEOPLE DUNT WANT CHA
 
A bit sad for me though. Aşık is diagnosed with an unknown immune system sickness for some time now.

I don't think it was necessarily about Asik though. They could sacrifice any of their players (besides Davis) and it still wouldn't appease Rudy. He wants to eat their souls.
 
I was laughing so hard about the sacrifice comment my wife had to run and check on me because she thought I was crying, man I love gobert as a jazzman
