GAMETHREAD: Jazz hosting Lakers - 1/16 7pm (mst) ROOT

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Trey is a ball stopper. He can't do anything efficiently.

--It's funny, I have such a man crush on Rudy. I'm most excited every game to watch him and don't even think about Kanter when he's in.

--Watching Favors is a close second, since he has been so amazing lately. He rebounds the ball like a caged animal let loose.

--If Hayward's on, like tonight, his play is a beauty to behold because he plays such good basketball.

--Even though Trey's playing better, I don't like his style of play. I never enjoy watching him play for some reason, since he isn't a good passer and more or less a chucker. I'll take watching an aging Manu Ginobili any day of the week over Trey Burke scoring 30.

Trey - seldom will make an extra pass, he will shoot.

Kanter NEVER passes. Favors and Gobert have been hitting wings for 3 all year. Not Kanter. Ticks me off.

Jeremy lin sucks.

Just remember,..... our point guard situation could always be worse

I'm at 9mins left in 4th quarter, and rudy made a beautiful kick out pass to ingles for the 3. I don't remember rudy having that many great kick out passes this season (maybe memory just failing me, i remember his interior passes more) so i got pretty excited at that

Improvement this game from Dante. I've seen him drive to around the free throw line twice before kicking out for open-ish 3s. Drive to free throw line is definite improvement from never venturing inside 3pt line. (not saying that sarcastically either haha)

He had a completely open lane to the rim in on of those and he just turned away and took it out of the paint...

 

[BYE]

Who are the other 4?

Harden?
Dirk?
Curry?
Cousins?

Kevin Durant
Derrick Rose
Klay Thompson
Chris Paul
Hayward (49%) Gordon has nearly double the attempts of the top three as well.

According to Locke via another author, Hayward is 5 in the league off of ISOs, i.e., he's the fifth best.

Zach Lowe a couple of days ago said Gordon was 37/70 on iso plays, which he described as 'sizzling'

Harpring and Boler said he had an open lane on that one... even though I'm not sure it was completely open. Still, it definitely wasn't the toughest shot to navigate for a layup. Should've tried it at least

Here is the table:

Hayward would be ideal as a 2nd or 3rd option.

3rd? lol. I suppose if we're dreaming, we might as well go nuts.

How the living hell did Nick Young get so much respect from the refs. It was sickening to see him get 3 "fouls" on three 3 point attempts (though his foot was on the line for one of them).

And Gobert should be starting with Favors. It's way too obvious.
