Griffin PIGS get slaughtered in LA tonight

[Ellipse]

FWIW, Al was switched onto Griffin for 2 of his 4 early 3rd quarter buckets . A third was on an offensive rebound off a pick and roll. Millsap was pretty engaged last night, and played well.

I knew Griffin was going to come out in the 3rd loaded for bear; Griffin is too good a player to let his poor 1st quarter performance against Millsap stand. I called it at the half. I also knew that starting the 3rd with Foye, Marvin, and Tinsley was going to be a disaster unless they started hitting some outside shots. -- they didn't and it was. I called that one as well. I don't fault Millsap or Jefferson for what happened in the 3rd, because playing 2 against 5 is far above their skill set.

But Tyrone says: But Corbin was quick not too hang the loss entirely on his first group.

"It’s one game," he said, "and the starting group just didn’t get it going."

Its one game? Are you crazy? Are you daft? They do this almost every game, head coach Tyrone. Watch the freakin games why donchya? What self delusion!

This is unreal. I would normally say this is a coach not wanting to publicly throw guys under the bus, but then he starts the same ****ing ineffective lineup again and again.

why dont you explain then, why al jefferson isnt worth the paper his 50million dollar contract is worth. be sure to include the outliers of why you cant win with al but were 17-8 in the past 2 months, and explain to me how we made the playoffs DESPITE al last year. and DESPITE al this year. and Next year too.

your gonna tell me our best players averaging 20mins did the heavy lifting.. and you find that to be 100% infallible logic, correct?

call me out on my english i assure you thats the only realm you even have a chance at trolling. your logic is easily debunked. explain yourself, youve been called out

Jazz have a MUCH better record when jeffy doesn't play than when he does.

The jazz are 7-1 without al.

[GVC]

The jazz are 7-1 without al.

7-1 in 6 games?

[green]

7-1 in 6 games?

That's how bad Al sucks.

[fishonjazz]

7-1 in 6 games?

5-1 then.

That is still pretty good no?

[Mr. McGibblets]

5-1 then.

That is still pretty good no?

I'm not sure. All home games? All road games? Games against sub .500 teams or all against above .500 teams?

I think basic +/- and basic records with and without can be misleading. I'm not saying the 5-1 record is in this case, but I don't know. Pretend Al was injured on a 5 game road trip and we went 2-3, I wouldn't use that as evidence that we are better with him either.

I think that 5-1 is a good record all the time, no matter who they played..... would it be better if all six games were against miami and okc? Sure it would. But a 5-1 record against sacramento, charlotte, new orleans, washington, cleveland, and minnesota would still be good. (hell i remember losing to sacramento and new orleans alot lately WITH al)
