Jazz at Raptors Game Thread

Um.. you probably didn't watch it right. It's supposed to be awesome.

nah i was drinking, so you know doing it right, ended up getting cut off by the bar cause you're only allow to have four beers, should have switched to scotch on reflection.
 
I am watching from Rome while studying for an exam. The Jazz better not tick me off at 2 in the morning.

I predict Rubio has one of those games where we debate if he is worth keeping. He'll score 20 points and knock down all kinds of threes.

either that... or Donovan drops 30 on 20 shots.

Raptors are good... we are not. Let's beat them anyway.
 
Hekate: yep
MVP: Toronto with new uniforms
Rubashov: dammit league pass isnt working my fury is rising
MVP: go to reddit
Saint: what do you think most of the reddit streams are?
WhiskyPriest: My league pass is not working as well. I have the international one, so the NBA seems to just not be working so far tonight.
Hekate: http://buffstreamz.com/watch/nba-6.php
Hekate: this works for me
MVP: works for me just fine
MT: damn
MT: what a sick pass by Rubio
MVP: Anunoby bringing back short shorts. I like that kid
Saint: even that stream is stopping and starting a lot
Saint: maybe its just on my end
Hekate: it works just fine for me
Hekate: maybe your connection
MT: can Mitchell just go off for 50
MVP: he may need to for us to have a chance

MT: any word on why Snyder is still starting Rubio/Favors/Gobert together?
MVP: JV always plays well against Gobert for some reason
WhiskyPriest: yeah. Rudy sometimes struggles against physical centers
Hekate: bc we couldn't trade Favors yet
WhiskyPriest: JV always beats him up a bit
MT: ya but like
MT: Utah has scored just 90.5 points per 100 possessions with Rubio, Favors, and Gobert on the floor -- dead last among 500-plus trios that have logged at
MT: that's from zach lowe's article
MVP: Rubio made layup!!!!!!
Hekate: damn Rubio
MT: That is a full 10 points below Sacramento's league-worst overall offense -- equivalent to the gap between the Kings and the No. 4 Raptors
yamers: ugly
yamers: ingles again passes open a 3
Hekate: yeah I read it
yamers: im sick of it
str8line: That's a crazy stat.
Hekate: JV fouled Gobert
WhiskyPriest: Jerebko off the bench
str8line: Donovan was just sleepwalking out there.
MVP: Gobert needs to get stronger
MVP: If he does not have clear path he is struggling to finish through contact
yamers: that was all ingles fault
MT: nah
yamers: he had an open 3, passed it, thought about passing to rubio, then went in drive in
MT: it was all rubio's fault
yamers: and yes that last sequence
yamers: was rubio
str8line: He put up a 3 and played some D and that's about it.
MVP: Ingles had an open shot, he thought he would get Rudy a layup but it did not work
str8line: Donovan.
MT: whenever something generally bad happens
MT: you can trace it back to Rubio
yamers: yes
yamers: thats true
str8line: But Rubio scored twice at least.
yamers: cos rubio's non-existant outside threat and driving threat
yamers: teams gave up on even caring if he shots

MT: rubio scoring early just means he's gonna get cocky
str8line: Donovan's 3 pt shot is in the gutter.
WhiskyPriest: nba league pass seems to be working now
yamers: yeah ingles sequence passing the open shot was classic ingles
MVP: Rubio had nice pass to Gobert as well. besides one stupid turnover he is doing ok today
MVP: why this nba all star thing is all messed up? I get captain thing but why they are not picking east vs west?
Rubashov: right league pass is on and rolling, streaming it to the tellie perfect
str8line: That Ingles Favors roll is awesome
WhiskyPriest: Can I go on record saying I cannot stand the NBA all-star game
WhiskyPriest: such a waste of time
str8line: Donovan has had the ball picked too much lately.
str8line: We suck.
Saint: rubio just becoming a scapegoat
MVP: So far so good
str8line: The effort has been lacking.
str8line: And yes Rubio has been a bit of a scapegoat.
MT: Ingles is Michael Jordan'ing them
Hekate: nice move
MVP: we are up by 8 and you guys still bitching about Rubio lol?
Rubashov: joe having a big australia day
WhiskyPriest: favors and rubio are playing tonight
MVP: Notice how as soon as Rudy went out offense started clicking
str8line: I can't wait to blow up this team.
yamers: is drake inside the raptors outfit?

MVP: we need to to something about Rudy, Rubio and Favors together
MVP: it just does not work
str8line: I get the sense that the passion is gone for Donovan because he knows we suck.
MVP: lol yamers, for sure not.
str8line: He needs fresh mojo.
Ellipse: A lot (most?) bounce passes into the bigs have no chance of being completed. You wonder what the passer was thinking?
yamers: str8line wtf
str8line: He's in on the tank
MT: wtf MVP
MT: season is a disaster, we have no spacing and it's a huge problem
MT: but lay off on Rubio cuz we're up 8 against the Raptors ;/
str8line: Favors playing for money, nothing more.
MVP: maybe he is figuring it out lol
Saint: you are just making rubio a scapegoat
MT: it's not so much rubio
MVP: Problem is Favors and Gobert together
MT: it's the philosophy of trying to win in a pace and space league with a point guard that can't shoot and two bigs that are non-perimeter threats
MT: so on a roster like this
MVP: unless Rudy starts shooting midrange jumpers it won't work
MT: Rubio is not gonna work
MVP: +10
Saint: Favors isnt on the roster long term

MT: the other problem is
MT: I'd rather we develop Mitchell and Exum as the primary ball-handlers
Saint: rubio isnt the problem
MT: which would relegate Rubio to off-ball duties
MT: which is stupid because he can't shoot
MVP: you guys still have hope in Exum... lol
str8line: Neto plays hard always.
MT: exum is a bust
MT: we all know that
MVP: maybe he can be like Chalmers to Wade...
MT: but I'd still take him over Rubio
MVP: to Mitchell
str8line: Exum gonna be good.
Hekate: Neto sacrificed his lay-ups for 3pt shooting
WhiskyPriest: An advantage with Exum is that he is a TALL PG. Which is needed since Donovan is only 6'3 (I know he has a long wingspan, but still.)
MT: idk
Hekate: Poeltl looks *****
MVP: tall means **** if you can't shoot or handle the ball.
MT: wingspan is so much more important than height
str8line: What will their nickname be? The Dynamic Duo?
MT: look at george hill
WhiskyPriest: what is Exum's wingspan?
MVP: Bust and the Star
str8line: Ha!
MT: hill is shorter than mitchell and has been a great defender his whole career in large part because of his wingspan
Jazzta: Just tuned in, the Raptors uniform looks pretty tight
str8line: Exum will avg. 14 next year.
ONE: Damn, Toronto's new uniform is FIRE
ONE: GOTTA LOVE THAT
Hekate: it sucks
ONE: Gold over black
ONE: nothing beats it
Hekate: terribly hideous
MVP: str8lite II bet you pack of canadian beer he won't
ONE: And the arrow & North? Awesome
MT: nah i'm a fan of these jerseys
MT: pretty slick
Saint: this **** is so annoying, none of these streams are working for me
Jazzta: I dig em
ONE: Yah
