Jazz @ Rockets (Sunday 3/20)

Bell and Watson on offense at the same time is frickin torcherous. Outside of turning oxygen into CO2 - they can't create a damn thing and every shot they take looks like crap the moment it leaves their hands.

Jazz lose another game in the first period.
 
I get the idea that Bell was checking Martin. He actually did a good job in the second half. But there is only so much offensive ineptitude that can be kept on the floor. He makes absolutely nothing work better.
 
What would this game have been like if we simply accepted the mismatch Martin presents. Guard him with CJ/Hayward/AK and let him do his thing. But for god's sake, don't play AK 21 minutes. I like Ty, but he dropped the ball HARD this game.
 
As much as it pains me, Al really hurt us in this game. Yeah, the rebounds. But he kept trying to take his equivalent of the Boozer fadeaway jumper--the fade push. He has to get it into his head that he needs to rotate the ball out and let a guard go to work when he's got nothing.

Agreed. I also hate when he forces that 20 foot jumper. He's a big man and really shouldn't be taking that jumper at all, unless he's completely open.
 
I like Devin Harris. But I have one gripe with him. He's got tunnel vision going to the basket. I notice it more on breaks than when he dribble drives. It's probably just a Deron hangover, but I'm not used to a head down PG on the drive. Hopefully when he's more assimilated he'll start to look more for the dish, but he may not have it. In fairness, most PG's don't. But I miss Deron.

When The Jazz made their initial push in the second half, AK was guarding Martin and doing a decent job of it.

Corbin makes the classic rookie mistake. Trying to conserve a player who is not 100% so you can play him on both nights of a back-to-back. Of course when you're on the playoff bubble tomorrow don't mean jack when you can't get it done tonight.
 
It is mystifying to me why so many people here are dying to get rid of Millsap.

Also, how did Bell play 29 minutes when he couldn't stop or slow Martin to save his life? Especially when AK is playing 21 and Hayward is playing 13. I'm starting to wonder if Corbin is blind or ****ing spineless. When you have a player go public about his disapproval and delusion, you don't cave, you stomp his ***. There's a time for diplomacy, but when you're dealing with a washed-up, overpaid ********, throw that out the window. Bell hasn't earned the respect he's gotten from the coaching staff, at least not this year.
