Yes, but my point is if the series continues and they continue their aggressiveness putting pressure on the rim, one would think they will eventually start getting more FT's as the series goes on. Or at least the potential is there since they arent relying on jumpers.

Their bad game floor is certainly higher than our bad game floor. They also made jumpers late griffin three and CP3 hit one.

We will adjust and I don't expect a replay of that paint performance. Part of it was us being aggressive on the perimeter... hence their low shooting percentage... did they miss a lot of open threes? We contested almost all of them... ended up giving up layups to JJ and Paul pierce. We can absolutely adjust... they may make more shots though.

I think their game was prettier... lots of dunks and stuff but not dominant.

Joe Johnson in the post game: We cant ease up because we are playing at home, they are going to play with more urgency.

Rodney Hood Post Game: Quin was complimentary of our effort. and I thought they were reviewing in for a flagrant or a clear path foul, I mean I jumped straight up and ended up on my back, but it is what it is.

That was a bull **** call. That has to be a flagrant by today's standards. I have no idea how you can say a two handed shove is a play on the ball and that it isn't excessive contact. Any time you hit a guy in the air hard there is a chance he lands awkwardly and gets hurt... that was bull ****.

I just dont know how stop them in the paint without Rudy. I dont know how we control the glass without Rudy. Withey/Diaw/Johnson have all been pretty trash rebounders and Favors is a pretty average rebounder atm.

The rebounding is the bigger issue. I think we could pack the paint better and let griffin and Luc shoot more jumpers... give one or both the Ronnie brewer treatment.

I would like Boris a whole lot more if he was a better rebounder. Thought he played good defense except for the rebounding issue.
 
The good news is we are not Boston who looks awful. That isn't looking like the awesome FA destination for Hayward that all the Massholes think it is.
 
#1. Having Bogut right now would have been nice.Thought it was a mistake to pass on that opportunity and I'm even more certain about it. Hopefully Rudy can go so that Withey can find his spot on the bench again.

#2. Starting with the same lineup was a mistake. Jazz started slow last game, down 7-1 before they started clawing their way back and down 12-3 early in this one - from which they never Ed recovered. Should have started Withey, Johnson, Hayward, Ingles and Hill. Then brought Favors, Diaw and Hood off the bench.

#3. Bolomboy should have played. Favors and Withey were trash tonight and JJ/Boris at the 4 will never win the rebound battle. They were playing with house money and needed some rebounding and energy. Bolomboy would have brought that in spades.

#4. When somebody hits them, I wish they'd hit back. Rudy and Jingles talk **** all night and back it up. Jazz need some more swagger out there when things get rough. Something to rally behind.

#5. Griffin, Jordan and Paul won this game. They combined for 63 points, 22 rebounds and 14 assists. I know that we're trying to keep JJ Redick from getting going, but the goal should be to shut down Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. Make Jordan and Mbah a Moute beat you.

#1. LOLLLLLL nice take on Bogut....except the fact that he's injured and got waived 1 game into the season from the cavs.

Blake Griffin on the Jazz: "They're a team that they keep fighting. They keep executing. ... They're really well-coached. They don't panic."

Boston's problem is similar to the Jazz right now--they cant rebound. Jazz will get better when Rudy returns, even if that is next season. Boston is stuck with Horford and crew for a while.

It's also been good that it wasn't like Hayward is scoring 40 and we are losing by not giving him support. This series is as much about convincing Hayward he can win here as beating the Clippers imo. I feel great about where we are... except the obvious Rudy injury. I think it has gone about as well as can reasonably be hoped.
