Game Thread Aug 05, 2020: Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies

[homeytennis]

Niang is averaging 3.5 ppg and is shooting 2/18 on 3pt shots (11%). He has a cumulative +/- of -20.

He also has one rebound in the last two games.

He also has one rebound in the last two games.

He has been physically hurting, I think.

 

[One Brow]

I can’t decide if I’m happy we won.

We lit it up from 3 and barely slid by the Grizz without JJJ.

Be happy. 2 days ago we stank it up from 3 and the Lakers barely slid by us.

I’m hoping for the 6th seed, though.

I’m hoping for the 6th seed, though.

Maybe Quin wants the Rockets, what with our small lineup and all.

Guys basketball today in a few minutes... prediction... @LoPo complains that Rudy is not a max player... @NAOS complains about the Mike Conley trade... the whole board complains about Georges Niang going 0/4 from 3... I complain about not playing Brantley... @infection makes an appearance to complain about Tony Bradley and makes a bunch of well thought out comparisons that I don't understand... @Saint Cy of JFC disagrees with it all.

Good game but I’m sure Brantley can shoot like 12% from three while providing better defense. Needs some run coach.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Rudy with another average game... 21 pts but all on dunks and layups so not impressive... his guy had 21 and they scored many points in the paint... super terrible job by him... why do people think he’s good.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Me too. Not sure why he got upset over Andy's tweet though.

He’s feisty and has rabbit ears I guess.

Quin shouldn't be playing him if he's hurt. Let a heathy player play.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Quin shouldn't be playing him.

FIFY

I put a lot of blame on the perimeter defense

We gave up 56 in the paint. That isn't good for a team with the best rim protector in the game. We need to address it as a team. Memphis shouldn't give us this much trouble without JJJ.

Hart to tell from the idiots.

I heard Locke saying today that the jazz are top 5 on the nba at limiting points in the paint and limiting 3 pointers.

Say what you want about Conley, but he's been doing his job.

He was really bad on defense versus the Lakers. So, yeah, that’s half of his job.

 

[fishonjazz]

Freaking niang. When his shot is off he is total crap. Today he had zero rebounds, zero assists, zero steals, zero blocks, zero free throw attempts.

Locke is a liar. We are 12th in the league in allowing points in the paint (46 per game). Recently, we have given up 58 to LA and 56 to Memphis. That s more than Cleveland and Atlanta average (nba worst 53.6 per game).
