35 pts from centers wow

Playing inside out like that will be one way to counter small ball. If they can't guard us and our big guys are getting dunk after dunk that will make it very hard for anyone to pull their centers off the court. I also love how each of our 3 centers give somewhat of a different look on offense. Means they can't sleep on any of them. And Doke has been fun to watch. He has a ways to go on defense but you can tell he's just having fun and that's contagious.

Paschall 12 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST on 4-7, 2-3 3PT in 15 min.

Shoulda flipped NAW for a second or two if it was available.

He was a negative asset. We spent second rounders in the deal to dump salary. Portland agreed so that we’d take his $5M off their books for next year.

Rudy's long absence was really a blessing in disguise.

Sure those early losses were ugly AF. But we gotta figure out how to play without him on the floor to stand a chance in playoffs.

Honestly jingles injury was a blessing. Much more athleticism and defense on display now.
Rudy injury was a blessing. Dok and whiteside are playing great.
Donovan injury was a blessing. He looks fresh as ****.

A good win against a very bad team. Can't get too high on this one or the last one, but it sure is much nicer to win against bad teams than what we were doing last month.

Right now the whole team is playing great. I would love to see Royce and mike shut down for ten days to let them recharge. That way they come back for the playoffs with a full battery

when don intentionally fouled at the end so he could sub out of the game she didn't even notice the foul. he had to do it a second time before getting the call.

Women are the worst, amirite?

The Stars play tomorrow. Send JB and the two newbies to play with them so they get some PT and learn the offense. The Stars have been playing with 7-8 guys the last 10 days.

Eh, just refs in general.





But yes, yes they are.

Only had one guy in the negative in the +- stat and it was Trent Forrest thought that was interesting

Not sure why folks haven’t figured this out but shouts to Jazz PR for the voodoo they do.

JB is a waaaaaaayyyy better prospect.

This actually might be the best explanation of anything I've heard.

Bear in mind this is the same team the Jazz lost to about a month ago at home.

I need a gif of that thing Hassan did with his head when he was flexing on the Rockets. Dude is one of the most entertaining ****ers I have ever seen.

Looking at the schedule the rest of the way, it isn't as tough as I thought it was. There are some hard games but there are also a lot of easy ones. We definitely won't drop to 5th and might even have a shot at getting back up to 3rd.

I would like to see us test out a small ball lineup as follows:

(5) Paschall
(4) House
(3) Royce
(2) Don
(1) Mike

Might that work in the Playoffs? I really don’t want to see Paschall play less when Gay comes back. I want to see more development from Paschall.

Geez, might House be the missing piece? It might be nice to have one more 3 and D guy instead of NAW.

Houston was backing way off of Forrest tonight, daring him to shoot. They gave him literally 15 feet of space on the 3pt shot he missed. They were also packing the paint on his drives. Forrest went scoreless and had 3 TOs tonight. The more teams do scouting on Forrest, the more we're going to have this issue. It's nice that he can take minutes and lighten Conley's load during the regular season, especially against weaker teams, but I'm not sure how much that is going to hold in the post season. Playoffs have shown that teams can't put perimeter players on the floor who can't shoot. Forrest has only made 4 3pt shots all season and is 4/18 (22%).

Forrest was good against Golden State because he could attack their switches off the dribble and get in the paint, where the Warriors didn't have much rim protection. However, Forrest is still a matchup-dependent player.
