Game #9 Utah Jazz @ Boston Celtics - 11/14/12 - 5:30 PM MST Root Sports

[PKM]

Just because you're the leader doesn't mean you're the guy that has to take the last shot. He was forcing those way too hard. Westbrook-esque

Yep.

[UGLI baby]

I applaud the effort by the Jazz. Golf clap for not getting blown out. Mo will hit those shots eventually.

Dude, no.

Those pull up jumpers Mo's routinely been hitting, you know, the ones that only elite guys like Kobe and Lebron make on a regular basis, he's gonna start missing those. Like almost all of them. It's going to get bad.

Corbin is getting better.

I believe Locke talked about an interview with Corbin that he wants teams to adjust to the Jazz and not the other way around.

The problem is Tinsley is no longer a true NBA role player. He is a filler when absolutely necessary, but the Jazz are not at that point yet.

[Sneakers]

I think Mo is fine taking those shots mid game, but late game do-or-die shots require more ball movement or at the very least more organization

Just noticed in the box score that favors was 10-14 from the free throw line which is great improvement for him
Hayward filled up the box score quite nicely.
Tinsley managed to get 0 assists, 0 points, 0 free throw or shot attempts, 0 steals, 0 blocks, and 0 rebounds in his 10 minutes. (i give props to ty for playing him ONLY 10 minutes at least)

The shot Mo took when The Jazz were down by one with less than a minute was epicly bad decision making:

I'm pretty sure Gordan Hayward hit his last few shots (although they were earlier in the game)
Foye hit is last two shots (both 3's)
Jefferson hit his last two shots
Favors was fouled everytime he touched the ball.

And Williams dribbles to the left base line and tries split two defenders with an up and under. About a low percentage shot a PG could make. It was downright Carlos Arroyo-like.

[JazzyD]

Why didn't Favors get more minutes! 26 minutes, 5 offensive rebounds, 14 free throws. His D is second to none on the team. C'mon Corbin! Free Favors! On a side note, Foye gets blown up over and over on D.

This to both parts.

Because Millsap is contractually obligated to take at least 21 shots, and as much as it pained Corbin to play Favors only that much, Millsap had to play for 40 minutes to hit his quota.

I understand your point. KOC MUST make a move. I believe his hand is being forced at this point. Someone has to go to make room for Favors. This kid is special and has also shown some offensive improvement. In my book, he starts over either of Sap or Jefferson at this point. Hopefully we have something brewing because this can't go on much longer.

.....there's a reason he's bounced around from team to team all his career.......and the last shot sounds like your "describing" a hip-hopper type play!

[nightmare3983]

It was a nice showing by the Jazz in spite of the loss. Hopefully they can continue to give themselves a chance to win every time on the road.

You know Tinsley is like top 5 in assist per minute?

[NUMBERICA]

Mo was pretty terrible down the stretch, but he's still much better than Harris. No need to have a melt down.

What we should be complaining about is Tinsley getting 10 minutes and having nothing to show for it but 3 fouls and 1 turnover. Yet, he'll still get his minutes next game. Alec who?

Hindsight. Tinsley is the best PG on the team, which is more an indictment on the players the Jazz have than a compliment to Tinsley.

[NUMBERICA]

The Celts are just a slightly more efficient offensive team. Jazz won the battle of the boards and kept turnovers in check, but just aren't quite a well-oiled offensive machine. The Jazz need one more polished offensive player.

The problem is the Jazz offensively have no idea what their bread is. Or their butter. Or their bread and butter. They don't know who to go to in what situations. It gets ugly.
