"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[Blueintheface]

Jazz just struggle to get stops. It starts with Al.

Watching on mute... Why is the poll question: "Which Jazz player will most likely end up in Orlando?"

Huh?

All Star game. Stupid to pose it that way.

Wow. That was a fun end to the third.

Young blocks Burks through the rim and the refs miss it. Being a rookie sucks.

Why did Corbin put in Harris?! Earl has been the catalyst tonight and with 4 to go he puts in a non shooting non passing PG?

That made no sense. That was one of those "well, he's my #1 guy, so, uh, I guess I should put him in during crunch time" moves.

To his credit Harris responded. Nice to see players fight when challenged.

Edit: I love that Bell and CJ are at the end of the bench playing tummy sticks.

LOL.. Ha. Didn't even think of that.

I was hoping Al Jefferson for Dwight Howard. Oh well.

[MarkGrace]

Back-to-back wins. Two days off and then Memphis on Friday. Dare I dream of a streak?

Streak!

It's really impressive that the Jazz are leading the NBA in shot blocking essentially without a shot blocker. That's a league leading stat that comes from pure effort, because you look at that roster, they have no business being the best.

I got some free tickets tonight for the game and I'm glad I didn't pay the $149 face value. It's crazy what people pay to watch a game. Anyway Favors is going to be a really good player. Real active around the basket and seems to have a good head for the game. I wish they would start him at PF, move Hayward back to SG and leave Bell on the bench. Kanter and Burks looked good tonight and seem to have a bright future. Corbin is clueless.

[SloanHater]

I'm glad that Burks is finding minutes, but where in the hell is Evans?

Evans would have thrived against the Memphis bench last night.

I'd love to see Burks, Hayward, Evans, Favors, and Kanter play together. That is one extremely long, athletic group.

This is the difference between a great coach like Phil and a bad coach like Corbin. One dictates how the game will be played, the other starts Raja.

Tonight will be the real test of how much improvement, coaches and players, have made. My prediction, GS sets the tempo and Corbin plays a tired Al/Howard 25+min to a double digit loss.

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

No matter how the game ends, it is an utter failure when Favors plays 15 minutes. That is absurd. Even more so when in those 15 minutes he has 7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks, only 2 fouls, and 2 FTs when Millsap shot 0 in 35 minutes. Raja freaking Bell played 18 minutes.
