PKM, aka Tiny Hands................
At some point in the 3rd quarter everybody was gassed. Kanter definitely should have played more.
I think he wanted to sit Jefferson more but every time Jefferson sat LA made a run.
Even though I only watched the 2nd quarter, I can vouch for this.
In the span that Milsap was in, Milsap got manhandled by Blake Griffin at minimum 3 times on defense when he was isolated against Griffin and Sap had nothing against Griffin offensively other than one move. Sap didn't want to draw a 3rd foul and it was terrible to watch. We're talking about defense worse than Big Al and Boozer combined here.
This just in, the Clippers just got another and-1. I think that makes 27 for the game. Good hard fouls all around.

Goddamn, man. Get off sap's nut sack. Griffin simply owned Sap. Nothing new here.
I think that's a bit of a stretch. For example, he never tried running Kanter with the starters, so your statement has no clear causation.
I think it is safe to say that while Al played well in most of his minutes, he was mishandled a handful of times. That's all it takes.
It was brutal. This team is talented, but IMO the coaching isn't doing it any favors. The biggest issues I'm seeing is that the Jazz do not know who they are. What is their identity?
+1. Al played well and honestly, as frustrating as it is to watch him hold the ball and kill the offense (assuming that we have an offense), he keeps us in games most of the time. Tonight was all coaching.
I haven't seen as many games as I'd like to have seen, but Al has been used better this year. But, as tonight's game clearly demonstrates, the devil is in the mother-****ing details. It's ****ty when, as Joe Fan, i see these details all too clearly.
It's guaranteed tomorrow Locke will say cliche crap like Griffin, Paul, and Billups made big shots down the stretch while we don't have "that star", or experience, or whatever.
What tonight proved more than anything is we don't have a half court offense we can depend on. We can get by with the break and offensive rebounding, but until we have a real half court offense we'll never win games like this, and we especially won't win in the playoffs.
On the positive side, Mo looked like a real PG tonight. I'm tempted to say it was because we played the Clippers, but I'd like to think he found something.
Offense actually looked great in the 1st quarter, although the success was not in the half court so much as tempo. We kept the Clippers scrambling moving the ball quickly or resetting effectively with the PnR. But in the late 3rd, the Clips manned up. That was when we needed a real half court offense which of course we don't have.
On the lighter side, Evans 17 foot jumper in the 2nd brought a huge smile to my face. Despite some defensive lapses, he played well.
He outplayed CP3, IMO
