Western conference semi-finals: Game 1 — Jazz @ Rockets 4/29/18 1:30 pm MST

I just don't like how he never gets past defenders, and only ever goes at the defender, whether they are in position or not. That just leads to high difficulty shots, and a prayer that the refs bail you out. Exum looks awkward as hell, but at least he uses his first step to get around defenders, or gets up to get free space above them. Bad as Exum is, I still prefer him over Burks.

I dont know who I prefer tbh. They both have their positives and negatives, but I feel like the variance of a good Burks performance is a bigger positive and you have to roll the dice to some extent.

But thats Snyders guy ,it's OK

The silver lining of Exum’s poor play is that, if he’s gone this summer, perhaps a lot of this nonsense will be, too.

I see no way he is gone. Who is going to offer him any kind of sizable contract?

What did that have to do with anything. Having a game end at midnight, then traveling to a different city to play again 36 hours later, barely having slept, and not having prepared, against a team that didn't have to deal with the same, puts you at a considerable disadvantage.

The whole series won't go like this.

This. Why Wes is talking about possible uses of their arena for other events eludes me.
It’s bs that one team gets screwed and he other doesn’t. Simple as that.

I was speaking a little more loosely and emphasizing my other point.

Have you ever watched one of the Japanese game shows with a giant fly swatter on Youtube? I think the Jazz front office should look at installing one of those in the practice facility for the guys to work on their free throw shooting over the summer.

I mean, the Jazz screwed themselves by giving up a 25 point third quarter lead. Cant really blame anyone else.

If only we could combine Burks and Exum. We would have the perfect player

 

[fishonjazz]

The real reason we're getting blown out: no game thread girls.

May this be a lesson to us all. SMH

Wes ****ed up with the gamethread girl as well as hating on the jazz all thread. Shame.

Somehow I think that would actually be a worse player.

 

[Hotdog]

I really think we can beat Houston. They dont scare me nearly as much as a healthy GS team does.

I have faith Quin will make some adjustments. And the players will too. That cant be the best Rudy we get all series. He is a smart guy. He will figure some things out.

 

[fishonjazz]

Very poor play, Gobert and Favors were useless. Officials won't call this game fair even if utah shoots 100% from the floor they won't win. Then the announcer is Hubie. Possibly the worst possible thing to be forced to watch.

They both suck in kind of the same way. It would be a slightly less sucky player with that skillset.

lol wut? two dumb no basketball IQ players?

 

[fishonjazz]

I’m just over halfway through the thread right now and my god Wes, how bad do you hate this jazz team? Chill out bro. Sickening reading your posts.

I think a healthy GSW team would easily beat this Houston team. I'm like the only one who remembers last year's playoffs.

harden step back 3 looks like a travel every time.

I don’t think it is though. That shot is so deadly and he has it perfected. And you can’t defend it for fear of 3 free throws or even a 4 point play.

 

[fishonjazz]

If I can’t vent then where the **** do I vent?

Not here please. Maybe don’t vent about the jazz at all and be happy that we have a coach of the year candidate, dpoy, roy, got the 5th seed and beat okc in 6 in round one. It’s all gravy at this point. Houston is better than the jazz. It’s ok. The jazz aren’t there yet and I think we all know that.

 

[fishonjazz]

The only positive is that Harden probably can't shoot this well on his step back shot for 4 straight games.

God he was deadly with that today

 

[Rubashov]

Really haven't felt this miserable in a very long time.

Hoping Ricky will be back for game 2
