Fesenko +7 rest of team -

Anyone want to mention Fesenko's inability to post up on a guy half a foot (at least) shorter and one hundred pounds (at least) lighter guarding him, despite the Jazz' multiple attempts to do so? Westphal actually did some good coaching there after Millsap abused Garcia.

That's Fes in a nutshell right there.

Probably one of the craziest things I've seen in a while.

While I am not a huge Fes fan, it didn't help that CJ threw a bounce pass at his knees.
 
Fes had Garcia on him for about 4 or 5 offensive possessions and didn't score once.

I had to laugh - Fes is so much bigger than Garcia that a couple of times he blocked out Garcia's whole body from the camera angle.

Ya the Jazz announcers commented that the passes weren't the best but it was frustrating to watch even if it wasn't all Fes's fault, throw the ball at his face can't get to that ball unless they foul. Reminded me of watching a Ute guard attempt at an entry pass, in that it was something totally foreign to them and they got frustrated and just threw it in any which way.

There was one decent entry pass to him and he got fouled, made both free throws. Do that a couple more times and they have to change their strategy. But no one could get a decent pass into Fes. And so Corbin gives up again and lets cousins go off on Sap just so they can run the "jazz system" offense. How'd that work out Tyrone?

and how many times did his teammates look to get him the ball during those 4 or 5 times?
 
well, maybe, didn't see the game, but the other posts suggest that he only got one decent pass to catch

He didn't seal his man well enough to receive a pass. The one from Jefferson was bad, but I take the football receiver mentality for catching a ball in the post. If it hits your hand, you've got to catch it. He couldn't keep Garcia on his back to receive the ball on the "knee pass" he got. The other possession had guys on the wing looking to pass down to him, but he couldn't keep his man sealed enough to have the ball passed to him.

That leads to the other thing. Fes has such bad hands that you have to pinpoint a pass just to get him to catch it. Harpring said in the telecast that he should have received a pass up high. Does anyone really have any confidence that he'd catch a ball thrown above his head? Obviously Fes' teammates don't.

Winger, his hands are fine for a big man. you can find real reasons to criticize him on, you don't need to make them up. The fact is that his teamates could not make a good pass to him. He should have walked that small guy under the hoop and gotten a high pass for a dunk. And the one pass he did get, he tried to score, got fouled, made the FT so it was an effective move. I will admit it was more than a bit awkward attempt to score, but in the end it was effective.
