Jazz @ Kings 3/22/12 8PM MT Game Thread

Anyone who actually watched this game should feel very good for this win. Sactown was playing some incredibly inspired ball and were actually playing as a team both on offense (28 assists) and team defense. With their young talent, they are a couple tweaks away from being a playoff team.

Hey, I don't care if the Jazz win by 1 or by 50, a win is a win. Especially when in comes in Sacramento, where the Jazz have already lost once this year and where Utah historically struggles to get wins. I'll gladly take this win with open arms. What a huge play by Big Al at the end! With a win over Denver tomorrow night we will now actually move into the 7th spot, not the 8th spot as Alema Harrington so erroneously says. Houston, Denver, and Utah would all have the same record at 26-22. However, Utah would be in 7th place with a win tomorrow night because we would win the season series with Denver (2-1) and we would have a better conference record than Houston (17-17 to 16-17, with the season series currently tied at 1 game a piece).

Hope we aren't too tired from tonight.

Ok, on Hayward's defense....what kind of a moron takes a contested 3 with a hand in his face in clutch time and when they're down by 2 with plenty of time in the game? Hayward was playing him safe so he wouldn't get a layup.

My thoughts exactly.

If Demarcus Cousins can learn to be efficient, they could easily contend for an 8th seed. If Tyreke Evans can learn to play team basketball and get a jumper, they can be a strong playoff team.

Sac was 13-9 at home. A winning record.

Cool. And it's 5th worst in the WC too.

Still only took 8 shots, so the chucking wasn't negative. Only one or two of those shots were bad shots with time left on the shot clock.

Did you even read my post? WHERE were those shots taken? That was my beef with CJ tonight.

Sacramento played zone almost exclusively in the fourth. Jazz had open looks because the Kings packed the paint. Jazz had three straight open three by three different players. Gotta make at minimum one and should make two.

Poor execution and shooting against the zone led to Sactown's fast breaks.

I get it, it was a W. But that's not as important as the WAY you play. Our frontline not getting to the FT line is concerning, how is it not? CJ playing mostly on the perimeter is concerning, how is it not? Lack of execution and shooting in the 4th, how is this not concerning?

I for one expect more. I remember when we missed out on the playoffs during the 03-04 season. The thing is, we were playing the right way. Played hard, executed to the best of our abilities, shared the ball around, and played tough D.

This team is so inconsistent. they play up and down to the level of their competition.

Holy ****, you whiney bitches.. We are not the Heat, we are a .500 ball club. A 1 point win on the road againt anyone is fricking awesome at this time. You guys are pathetic with your "I want more than a win" attitude. Truly.

Agree - but mostly its not biotches, it is just one biotch really biotching.

Kings froncourt shots (43)
Jazz's frontcourt shots (28)

15 more shots to get 5 more points?

They did outplay them, but were very inefficient.

Huge difference between getting a win and playing winning basketball.

Jazz fans have been down this road before. We've seen for a long time this kind of stuff. We've seen the 6-8 seeds.

We don't want that. We're tired of that.

To me, getting some wins before this boring season is over is cool. But i'd rather have some lotto picks to stack up for a championship run than see us getting our butts booted out of the playoffs quickly.

I see your point, saw it in the first place. Obviously, in every game there are things the guys should do better, but to see all of those as bigger than the win seems strange to me. IF we were a sure fire 1 seed and expected to win most games, maybe...but a win is a win, especially for us at this stage. Maybe the glass is half full, instead of perpetually half empty, as you see it. The team WAS good enough to win in spite of the mistakes, lots of them. I see that as good, they will clean things up and win more. You seem to see it as bad, they will never never fix this and lose more. WE all see the mistakes, they are evident. I guess it is how you choose to view it. Fair enough

Exactly my point. I dont feel good about winning....nothing else needed.

Continue to cut posts and match them to promote your pathetic agenda. But if you can't handle other people's opinion's then you have no business being on a message board.

When you have to cut stuff like what you just did, your true colors are revealed and it really shows a lack of intelligence.

I`ll take inconsistency in winning margins every day over consistency in sucking.

That's cool.
