Game 44 - Pacers at Jazz 7:30 MST, Root Sports

[Cyrone Torbin]

How can anyone deny Corbin is ****ing with our future?

-Earl Watson 31 minutes? Really? On what planet does Mr. Corbin live?
2 pts, 5 dimes? Sorry that's weak sauce.

-Kanter 11 minutes? 6 pts, 3 boards 50% shooting.
Is this how we develope our #3 pick?

-Favors 18 mother ****ing minutes? How are we not marching in the streets. He's a 3rd year player, where is his time?

- Marvin again with 26 minutes!!!!!!! 6 points....

If Burks has those turnovers at the end of the game he is crucified here, and Corbin gives him a DNP the next game.
Speaking of Burks he got how many minutes again....?

I'm the captain of hating Earl Watson, but give the guy credit, he made a lot of hustle plays that really helped us out and made some good passing plays.

Also, try living in the present. We just beat a good playoff team. Enjoy it.

I think Corbin is playing Burks one game and Carrolle the next. It'll be Burks next game and I think his minutes will be based off how good he does. Carolle played really well today so he got extended minutes.

I wish the NBA would spell out their rules a little better, but the way I read them the refs actually got the backboard play right:

http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_4.html

c. Five sides of the backboard (front, two sides, bottom and top) are considered in play when contacted by the basketball. The back of the backboard and the area directly behind it are out-of-bounds.

If you're making the argument that it's a turnover, here would be your best chance per the rules:

http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_8.html

f. A throw-in which touches the floor, or any object on or outside the boundary line, or touches anything above the playing surface is a violation. The ball must be thrown directly inbounds.

However, if the bottom of the backboard is considered in play, I'm guessing it's part of the "playing surface," thus making it legal to throw the ball off the bottom or side of the backboard. Though to me it wouldn't kill the NBA to directly spell this rule out.

Again. Hayward made 3 dumb plays in last minute


Part is coaching. Hayward had been on the court 15 mins straight. That is long for anyone. This is why he needs to star so that he plays starters minute patterns

Good research. The rules are unclear, and have an internal conflict that should be clarified. What is the definition of playing surface? What's the point of saying that you can't touch anything above the playing surface on the inbounds if all sorts of things above the floor are part of the playing surface? I'd be inclined agree with your interpretation, but you'd think a multi-billion dollar industry could afford to pay some smuck like me to write a rule book that is clear.

As if Burks had never made good hustle plays. Give him credit too. Of course Watson makes good plays.
He is much better at home. I can't stand him on the road.

I went to the hotel restaurant, and had a delicious Polish breakfast. I'm in a better mood now.

Cyrone I don't live or die game to game. You just have to ask yourself is playing Earl every game, on the road,
the best move for the team? I don't think it is, you do. I can live with that.

[Revolution 9]

I think his minutes will be based off how good he does.

It's ashame only certain players are held to this stardard. What has Marvin Williams done in the NBA to deserve a free pass?

remember when we could enjoy coming to jazzfanz after a win.

I wish this were true, but burks was given 3 minutes in which he took 1 shot with the shot clock expiring and then never came back in.

I always enjoy coming to jazzfanz, after wins or losses.

And like i have said before..... it is possible to enjoy a win, and still be able to say good AND bad things about the win.

That was so long ago I can barely remember. It's like a story that a grandpa tells his grandchildren.

Maybe so, but the refs were absolutely ridiculous. Hayward was REPEATEDLY getting fouled and the refs refused to call anything. Plus, at the end, almost every turnover, except the one Hill slapped the ball away from behind, was caused by a foul that they didn't call.


What is with this refereeing? They call touch fouls during most of the game but when comes to aggressive contact at the end of a close game they let it go?

We all do obviously. Everyone loves it. That's why they continue to come back.
