"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[Donuthole]

Why does it seem like Harrington has a career game every time we play against him?

Dude wants a contract with Utah. Can you blame him?

Speaking of Harrington, I was trying to remember the other day who Golden State gave up to get him. Was it really Mike Dunleavy and Troy Murphy? In retrospect, how bad was that trade for Indiana. Was that Bird's doing?

[MarkGrace]

I was really hoping that the Knicks would have to give up Harrington to get TMac. Harrington has been huge for them.

[MarkGrace]

One point game.

This team is full of rejects.

[LiveCoug]

Uggh... Jazz tied with the freaking Knicks going to the 4th. Yucky.

[MarkGrace]

Are we really going to do this again? Geez.

[MarkGrace]

Jazz scored fewer points in the 2nd and 3rd combined than they did in the 1st.

[MarkGrace]

Korver killing it on a 1-9 night. And he hasn't even attempted a 3pter yet.

[MarkGrace]

Nice little cushion now. Hopefully we can keep it up.

[MarkGrace]

Very troubling game, despite the win.

[Donuthole]

It's never easy for us against the Knicks, for whatever reason. Call it the curse of Scott Layden.

[MarkGrace]

Very true.

Supposedly Deron was just interviewed and said "this is a big win...against a crappy team."

How many chances did the Knicks have to take just a one point lead in the game last night? I've never seen a team that incapable of getting over the mental hurdle of a tie game. They had the ball on more than 10 possessions tied or within 1 and were unable to take the lead. When McGrady missed the last 2 free throws of his 3 I knew that the Knicks were just that much more mentally weak than the Jazz were last night. Weird game, weird atmosphere.

And how does Mike D'Antoni keep getting work? "Here's the play, run and shoot. If we're forced into the half court, set a high pick and pass to another 3-pt shooter for a bad shot. If you let the shot clock reach 14 you're out."

Jazz look gassed and I nearly had flashbacks to last year's late season meltdown. Fortunately I was unable to see the Pacer game last week and can just put this down as an ugly win and a step closer to the division title.

His teams win. Even this Knicks team, with a roster full of shit, is winning more than they probably should. Phoenix hasn't done any better, in fact without looking at the numbers, I'd guess they've been worse since he left.

Outside of David Lee, their best players are Al Harrington and Danilo Gallinari, for crying out loud.

Um...the Knicks are 26-47. That is not winning. If his teams win why was he dismissed in Phoenix? He makes Nelly look like a defensive genius.

You've seen their roster, right? Are you expecting championships? How much should he be winning? In my opinion, they have exceeded expectations, and I doubt I'm alone in that.

He was coach of the year in Phoenix and had some very good teams there. He had a PG who never sniffed a MVP prior to be coached by him, win two consecutive. I don't remember why he left Phoenix - what I do know is that they have been worse since he left.
