Who took the last shot of the game after Foye was blocked?

My stream crapped out on me right at the end.

Foye put up a three from the upper left corner that was long.

How many "running teams" run five players? If Jefferson can make a decent outlet pass (I think he had a few last night), he fits just fine.

Exactly. We won't be running all game and will need a half court option. Whether that's Al, Sap, Favors, or whoever is the question. Right now, Al is obviously the most productive choice.

3/29 is way too much (not saying it definitely won't happen). My guess would be 3/24.

I wrote 3 for 25.

Talk money.

I wrote 3 for 25.

Yes. Yes you did.

I'll admit it: I don't hate Al if he makes a good quick outlet pass and the other 4 run. If he then does his best to get down the court and be in position for the second wave of offense, then we can use his ability to get his own shot.

The bigger issue is defense. He just needs to give more consistent effort and move his feet.

This.


For the most part, I want Al gone, but if he can learn to pass more and keep the ball moving, I can learn to like him. He can even get a pass on some things. Like his defense. Because if we have Favors playing next to him, he can clean up his mistakes.

I thought this was a Utah Jazz message board. The Deron-Boozer offenses were pretty damn effective running very little out of isos. With that said, if Utah doesn't find someone who can effectively run an offense, leveraging defenses by getting the ball to teammates at spots and in situations where they can succeed, it's likely halfcourt efficiency would take a hit without Jefferson (could get pretty ugly). Either way, Kanter looks pretty good right now, and I don't see how he and Al on the court at the same time is going to work. There don't seem to be nearly as significant complementarity issues between any of the other bigs, so when Kanter is ready for big minutes (30+...could be there pretty quick), it's time for Al to go (especially considering the superior defense, rebounding and transition play you get from Kanter). Kanter-Favors-Millsap may be less effective in the halfcourt, but they'll be terrors on the offensive glass and in transition, and complement each other very well on both sides of the ball.

Totally agree. But I think Jefferson would be much more likely to play for us for less money. Sap is going to want a pay day, and I can't blame him. The only way I see us keeping Sap is by overpaying him (which would be even dumber for us than most teams considering we have two #3 picks sitting on the bench).

Holy ****.

edit* Evans. My god.

Holly **** that play by Evans was ................wow

Ohhh h****tttttt

Wowwwwww.

Oh my god! Jeremy evans just blew my ****ing mind!

Jeremy Evans you are RIDICULOUS!!

Holy f**** I just came everywhere.

My wife can't even get me that excited.

lmao at the clippers announcer:

"I think he could've blocked that with his elbow"

Did you guys see Evans block and dunk?

Awesome reactions all. I wasn't watching the game live myself. After that play I told my wife to drop what she was doing (homework) for a minute and come watch it. She was impressed, and my wife doesn't get impressed by basketball very often.

I wasn't watching that part of the game, and my DVR unfortunately tried to record the NBATV feed so I ended up with 100 minutes of "this channel is not broadcasting the game".

+rep for anyone who posts a link to the play so I can watch it.

Go to "The Block/DUnk (Video)" thread.
