GT: Your Utah Jazz vs. Denver Buttnuggets, 2/3 7pm MST

[Coach Ellis]

Favors with the double/double - 16 points 11 rebounds - even on an off night, those are good numbers. Hayward, Gobert, Favors and Neto all in double digits scoring.

 

[Siro]

Nobody player particularly well, but the Jazz still found a way to win. Good job.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Held them to 35 in the 2nd half. I feel that was important to winning.

Defense is really starting to show up like last year. Getting Gobert and Favors back healthy has been huge, but I have to think that Neto's recent improved play makes a big difference as well.

 

[Willie G.]

This team has a special determination right now. Nobody is hanging their head. Favors may have dipped his slightly in the first half, but the team energy is good, and they all turned around and put out an impressive second half. Our defense is starting to dig its heels in.

**And, we should all note how this victory was without Alec and, if you want to look under an analytical microscope, it was basically without Burke. Awful game. This note should hyperlink over to the Teague thread.

 

[Jamezz]

Great win, I love these grind wins where defense is the key component. We'll remain strong defensively on a constant basis and the offense will come, good times ahead of us.

Yep. Dude's had back to back games where he's made a crucial steal late.

That's why the defense being so good was so important. Gives the offense a huge margin for error.

Great effort by the whole team. There were so many bad calls. Nuggs coming in from out of bounds on two different occasions to get a lay up without establishing first. These refs need to go ref some Jr. High games again to learn some basics.

Have to say, the Jazz got the benefit of some blatantly bad calls this game, but we'll take it.

Gallinari flagrant on Gobert (didn't look like his elbow even made contact)
Nurkic goaltending a Hood layup (Nurkic didn't touch the ball)
Gobert blatant push on Faried alley oop (not called)

What? Hayward couldn't look at Gallinari without having a foul called.

whatever, How about the 8 flops of Gallinari.

Safe to say Jazz got short end of stick by refs this game .... easy

Kudos to Hayward.

Note that after the double foul call on Hayward/Gallinari Gallinari didnt mess with Hayward again...
