Game thread: Game #24 : Utah Jazz at Indiana, Tuesday 02/07/2012 5:00 PM MST

[MK11]

Utah Jazz (13-10) vs Indiana Pacers (16-7)

Throw to the winds the Knicks game guys. We all hate them but it didn’t help us to win. Because it’s about the Jazz team not the opponents(most of the time). When we play up to %60-%80 of our potential, we can win against all this Knicks-type crappy teams. We didn’t show it tonight so got a well deserved loss. So, give your congratulations(!) to the NY and its refs but screw and nevermind the loss.

Now tomorrow there will be a real team against us. So dear Jazzfanz, let yourselves discuss.

Key Matchup 1 : They say Paul George still grows, some say he’s 6’10” some say 7’4” now. But the actual question is whether if Raja Bell will be able to slow him down or he’ll be eaten alive.

Key Matchup 2 : If the “Baby God”(Yes, I’m calling Hayward Baby God for a while) brings his A game, the Jazz will survive.

In spite of every bad thing, I still believe the Utah Jazz Team is(can be) a playoff team. What about you?

And finally, here is our “good luck” girl. Adriana kisses you all!

Note 1 : Will be updated if something changes or in case of a necessity.
Note 2 : My apologies to everyone for the crowded thread and mistakes.
Note 3 : Lineups are from my own expectations.
Note 4 : I’ve started to work again a week ago and I can’t even see much Jazz games anymore, so I won’t be able to make many game threads. I may make the thread of Oklahoma game which is on Tuesday, February 14, so until it please someone make gamethreads.
Note 5 : Hmm, this one is just a “good night” note. Have a good night folks.

I don't think I will watch this one. Gotta find something, anything else to do.

No Verlin, I don't want to go catch a bite to eat. I don't care if your bone is hard. Look elsewhere. Go find an easy one. Pining for me is going to leave you frustrated.

 

[dipship31]

Fast PG, scoring/shooting swing men, and good low post presences? Yeah we're screwed.

 

[The Thriller]

Paul George is going to make you sick...... We could (should) have had him... Athletic, long, can drive, defends, and can shoot the 3 ball...

Haha To be honest, you're talking my exact feelings. Especially when you consider I've been spending my sweet sleep times for the Jazz for many years.

But I'm kind of a male version of Pollyanna. So, I've forgotten the the Knicks already.

Tinsley won't travel to Indy. Personal reasons

 

[udflyer]

I will be in the house Go Jazz!

Pacers coming off several days rest

That won't help us. I quess everyone would want the whole Jazz not to go Indy at all.

Can Paul George drive? He gets to the FT line less than Hayward with more minutes per game. I see him as more of a spot-up, transition, and defender.

 

[underKANTER]

i'm expecting a blowout... or let's say, a loss by 14 to 20 points.

 

[underKANTER]

it's 5 o'clock in the morning in switzerland... and i have no better things to do than watching those jazz ghosts completely lost on the game floor...

Who needs driving ability when you're dropping 47% from behind the arc?!? I do think Hayward is better at taking it to the rack, but George hits his FT's at a better percentage so that pretty much evens out.

He needs to learn the double clutch, reverse dunk though IMO. Or some other acrobatic And-ONE reverse layup.

His 2-handed-Regie-Miller-Style dunks are getting old and are now being blocked left, right and centre (latest one being blocked by Chandler in the dying minutes VS NY).

 

[fallenchicken]

If we lose after this gamethread the Jazz owe MK11 money.

 

[billyshelby]

Smart move in this game would be to start Howard over Bell. Despite Bell playing well against the Knicks, the better matchup is Hayward/Howard vs. Granger/George. Howard's going to have the fresher legs, too. Might even give Favors the start over Sap only because I think one second unit game (NOT a permanent move) could spark him. Really curious to see if Ty goes conventional on these road trips or gets a little creative.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Nah, Bell can guard George. George doesn't appear to be a very good player at taking his man off the dribble. I think Bell will do a good job contesting his looks from deep and defending him.

No. Way. George will roast Bell.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

From the game stats I have seen, if you keep George quiet from behind the line, the rest of his shooting is bad too. I'm most impressed by his rebounding.

I think the best thing Bell does in get in people's faces and presses. That can make it hard to get 3's off.

If Bell "defends" George well, it will be because George is so tempted to shoot over him from distance that he takes bad shots. He'll murder Bell on the glass, and my guess is he has a nice night shooting virtually undefended from 10-15.
