Freaking awesome Game thread for Jazz @ Celtics!

Did I say he played?
The point was that the Celtics top talent isn't young. Ours is.

That's a pretty stupid point considering I was comparing the Jazz to the Celtics that they played today. And if the likes of Brandon Bass and Jeff Green are capable of completely trashing this team, I don't see much hope in the future.

Does that mean you will go to a team with a future? Can I recommend Charlotte?
 
So wtf happened, I needed to leave to play when we were up 16-3 and looked like we are going to have a win finally and yet we were down at one point by 20? How the hell 30 pt swing happened?
 
Jazzfanz my brothers why all this worrisome bickering over trivial matters on a day when we should all be clasping hands and shouting together:hurray!

Steph Curry twisted his ankle tonite.

*** bone bruised his right foot. Sigh.***. I hope Derrick rose calls him to share rehab advice.

That's fine, take Rondo out of the mix then. Bass, Green, Gerald Wallace, etc. are not young guys. Olynyk, Sullinger and Avery Bradley did not outplay our young guys tonight. If you're going to bitch about the Celtics young guys outplaying our young guys, then please actually watch the game. Hayward and Kanter were far superior to anything the aforementioned three did. If you want to bitch about Brandon Bass and Jeff Green outplaying our young guys, that's a completely different argument from your original post.
 
Well check off another team whose young talent is better than ours. Hard to use the "FUTURE!! POTENTIAL! DERP!" excuse when you can't even beat other young teams with supposedly less talent.

Please go join the Boston or Phoenix board. Just pull up the stats and look at the numbers for Hayward, Favors, Kanter. Burks had an off night, but the Jazz can't win with just 3 or 4 guys contributing. The Jazz are getting very little from anyone else, especially the PG's. But the core4 has been doing very well for the most part.

That isn't entirely true. They have impressively bricked open shots in every game. I mean have you looked at our FGA? It's not too shabby.:P
 
Can someone explain to me why Corbin yanked Kanter from the lineup after he scored 8 points in like 6 minutes? I've tried not to harp on him too much so far, but that was absolutely brain dead coaching there.
 
Also, no excuse for Hayward only shooting 2 threes. For as good a shooter he is he has to shoot more. 4 per at a minimum.
How? Who's getting him the ball? The Jazz only have 2 players who need to be guarded, and opposing teams are playing accordingly.
 
Jefferson credited the coaches for devising a good game plans & credited that for the start but said "over the course of time we deviate."

I thought this was interesting.

rotations were set before the game and game adjustments is rocket science for corbin

We'll lose every game of 4-on-5 we play. Tinsley and JL3 look turrible on both ends. If Clark can play one side, it'd be an improvement. ...if winning is the goal

Hey guys, I rarely post here but was at the game last night so I thought I would post some of my observations.

1. The tank in Boston is incredible. I bought tickets for $5. Last year those tickets were going for $65.

2. Hayward was clearly the best player on the floor. My friends who are Celtic fans agreed. His shot was falling, he was driving and passing well. Late in the game I wanted the ball in his hands for probably the first time I can remember with him. Unfortunately, Alec screwed up some of those last possessions.

2b. Alec is dumb.

3. Kanter is good. The kid didn't play in college; he didn't play much last year; was rehabing his shoulder all offseason and comes in and is throwing down 20 points with literally no PG to create an open shot for him. How nice will it be when we have a PG who can drive the lane and suck the defense in and give Kanter an easy lay-up or jumper. Hopefully Burke can do that.

4. Favors quit on the team. Or at least it looked like it in the arena. He was sulking, his offensive game looked horrible, with the exception of his last few dunks, and the refs just melted him down mentally. As much as Locke is a hack he had a great point; when Favors got discouraged in the past he can go sit on the bench and let a Vet take his place. This year he has to learn to play through it. I hope he as the mental toughness to do it. I'm not sure he does.

5. Corbin is horrible. What offense do we run? Do we space our offense at all? All I can see is screens being set on the perimeter and the defender fighting over the screen and both defenders trapping him or just chasing him further along the perimeter to no-mans land. Whenever our bigs roll, they never get the ball, and if they do there is help on one of our bigs. Like that is like...basketball 101 coaching. Wish our coach could teach that.

The Celtics are terrible, but when they were on their 2nd/3rd quarter smashing of the Jazz you could see--dare I say--ball movement. While there are some Vets on the Celts, there was some nice interior ball movement by Sullinger and Olynik (sp?). I can only think that comes down to coaching. Sure, a players ability helps with that, but their sets just seemed better then ours. A staple of the Jazz with Sloan was our out-of-bounds sets--not anymore. Locke and the Jazz FO are the only ones who think this guy can coach. He needs to go.

My post is pretty much rehash from the rest of the thread, but thought I would throw my confirmation of some of the things that I saw in-person (for the one live game I will see all year).

Me as well. I would ask him who "we" is. The players? The coaches? If it is the players then the coaches need to reign them in. If it is the coaches then is shows poor, or at least the wrong, in game adjustments.
