"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[UtahJazzFan88]

How many shots did he take, I can't quite make out that stat. How many free throws? When did he shoot his first two free throws of the game? Our guards suck for the most part, you won't get an argument from me but it's almost ridiculous how unproductive Al can be at times.

While Al didn't play overly great tonight like anyone else, a lot of those shots are due to the fact no one else can create their own shot and Big Al is the guy they go to at the end of shot clock situations.

FIFY

Isn't it? That kind of straight downward decline at that point in a career without experiencing any major injuries? I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it.

Add the fact that he came into the league at 18. So in that first season, he was 19. From age 19 to age 24, don't you have to get better? At something. There has to be some stat geek out there who can say for sure if a decline in both FG% and 3pt FG% has ever happened before. For such a young player, even more amazing.

Locke reporting that Bell is out tonight for "internal reasons." Hmm. What does that mean? Either he's being disciplined or traded, right?

Free Alec Burks!

I think it just means he is farty and bloated.

who the hell would take him?

who the hell would take him?

Why, a team looking for a 3pt specialist who plays lockdown D, of course!

Man, the jazz could really use someone like that.

Korver loves him some wide open 3's against the Jazz.

I just tuned in. Was that the same reason given for Harris being out, or was his an injury?

Edit: My speculation is that if/when Bell is moved, it might be to Minnesota now. They really want to make the playoffs, they have Barea and Ridnour to take the PG minutes that Rubio played, but now they need some more help in the backcourt. I used to think LA would be the most likely destination given their Odom exception, but now I think Minny might be the most likely destination.

BYU fans about to get a good look at Machado.

[MarkGrace]

Just saw that. This may be the 2nd time I watch the Cougs this year because I want to see Machado.

Bell is a great pro. The consummate professional. A great guy to have in the locker room to show all the young guys how to act.

That is why he's not active tonight, and having a meeting with KOC and Corbin today with a possible suspension coming down. Have I missed more info on the situation?

I think he's upset because Burks isn't getting enough playing time.
