♣♧ Lucky ♧♣ Game Thread Jazz vs Memphis 8:00 Sat 3/16

Let's see

Jefferson vs Gasol
I have to give it to Gasol.

Millsap vs Randolph
Randolph

Prince vs Williams/Caroll
Wash

Foye vs Allen
Foye will struggle again tonight, Allen

Mo vs Conley
Mo might be slightly better, but not by much.

This doesn't look good.

Mo Williams better than Michael Conley? What did we smoke today?
 
It was a nice win but I turned the game off at the half. Carroll, Kanter and Burks getting limited minutes took away my interest. I was actually shocked that the Jazz won when I checked the scores. Unfortunately, the win doesn't seem that big because Utah is not going to make the playoffs and they are again sitting the youth. Kanter deserves better.
 
This was the first game of the year that i missed (although i did record it, so i will watch it on monday).

Not much mention of burks other than it sounds like he didn't play much..... was burks really that bad or was watson just playing at suck a high level that burks could not get minutes?
 
I think the reason it is difficult to get excited even though we won is because I know if that if I was Kanter's agent I'd be thinking I'm not re-signing with the Jazz because they are intentionally keeping my clients value low. If I was Kanter's agent I would be pissed and I certainly would be calling KOC about the lack of playing time. Same goes for Burks. Losing Kanter when his contract is up is certainly not worth winning a couple of games to try to wrestle the 8th seed from the lakers.
 
I thought Burks was playing a very good game. Still didn't get playing time. Kanter played a good game despite low shooting percentage. The truth is that the refs swallowed their whistle and let Zack Randolph get away with murder that game.
 
To be fair, if we are not putting much excitement into the Bobcats game because it was the Bobcats then we can't put much into last night's game either.

Gasol was not 100% and the Grizzlies were playing their 4th game in 5 night and just getting back from a btb vs the Nuggets who play at a high pace and then the Jazz.

I believe that Locke would call this a scheduled loss. It would have been really bad if the Jazz lost this game.
