"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[MarkGrace]

Jazz are pretty much the worst FT shooting team ever.

Nice turnaround in the 2nd half.

Charlotte coach Larry Brown paid Deron Williams one of the highest compliments Williams has received in five seasons with the Jazz.

"I don't think there's a better player in the league than Deron Williams," Brown said. "You don't hear him talked about like the others, but the effect he has on games to me are every bit as dramatic as any of the great ones we talk about."

Is Kal-El on fire, or what? Why did it take a contract year to get this type of shooting out of him? I thought he was supposed to be different than the typical, selfish, overperform-in-contract-year-but-underperform-in-all-other-years roleplayer.

Sadly, I don't think it can last, and I fear he's peaking a bit early.

32-53 from the 3pt line this year.

CJ MIles is 40-129 from behind the arc.

Anyone else worried about the playoff chances of the Jazz? They are peaking too eaely, IMO. They don't beat LA, they would struggle with DEN and DAL, and might lose to SAS.

The West is good. Any of the top 4-5 teams can beat any of the other top 4-5 teams in a series.

But yes, I am hoping they avoid the annual end-of-season slide into the playoffs. Sadly, said slide is usually preceded by a nice stretch of wins. <gulp>

My favorite CJ stat from his 30 minutes last night: 1 rebound.

Follow the Yankees lead and trade CJ for some Tyson chicken.

At least he apologized on his twitter for it.

No, because they're not going anywhere peak or not. LA is better, DEN is better, and DAL is now better. I also wouldn't like our odds in a series against SA.

You guys need to buck up. This is the "You Gotta Love It Baby" thread, we aren't here for a beauty contest. We swept the Spurs, a bunch of broken down old men and Mr. Longoria. Dallas hasn't met a playoffs they don't choke in. Denver is lame. Step up people!

That was a really round-about way of saying "Get confident, stupids."

Can't top great advice.

[LiveCoug]

Wow. I thought there was no way the Jazz would lose tonight, and here they are about to.

[Bastage]

Tough night for Deron. Couldn't make a bucket in the 4th. Struggled defensively against Tyreke.
