Game #9: Cavs at Jazz Tuesday 01/10/2012 7 pm MST

It might help if the announcers for the Jazz didn't want the team to be known as a "nasty" team .

Seems a bit circular. The desire of Harpring for the Jazz to be nasty has now caused the refs to exhibit one of the most egregious officiating travesties of the modern world? Pistons won plenty of championships as a "nasty" team, and they actually had the reputation.
 
Harris did have a bad game, but he still runs the offense and our offense is looking better.
The nice thing about this team is that different guys step up each night.

Only saw the 2nd half but I thought that Hayward ran the offense a lot. Harris just brings the ball up the court and sometimes bulls into the rim. Harris plays hard but I want to see much better passing from him. Hopefully that will come over some more games as he gets more comfortable.
 
When did Babbit ever get 8 assists in a game? If the Jazz ran more plays through Hayward, he could average 8 assists a game. Elite court vision.

8 ast a game is great for PG's, Hayward just got his career high in assists ( one bogus as I already explained ) and you think he can average it? If he ever has a season with 5 assist/game I would be shocked. Remember, even Lebron who is arguably the best passing forward and had unlimited freedom and touches in Cleveland averaged over 8 ast only in one season in his career so far. Saying Hayward could do that is really not smart, sorry.
 
Loved it when Harp said "Raja should get the night off" after he missed his first two shots because he had a baby. I know what he meant, but he shouldn't be starting anyway, so it's funny we should give him a pass when we've had to do that all season.
 
Hayward got at least 4 of his assists through the offense. Screen low and he comes to out to take the pass from Harris/Watson. Dump it inside to Al/Millsap/Favors and they work in the post. Not taking anything away from him though. Harris won't get his assist numbers as this is the play we run 60% if the time.
 
I love the way Ty plays with lineups which is crazy since I thought at the beginning of the year he had no idea about this. But he has to limit the minutes Kanter and Favors play together. It just kills the offense. It's all wings and both those guys can't post. I know Sap was in foul trouble, but we have to stagger Al and Sap's minutes.
 
I loved the way we fed Sap in the 1st. That's smart basketball. Sap is the better matchup against Jamison, he was hitting it, and we rode it. But when Sap went out, Al picked up the slack. THAT's our advantage this year. Two guys down low that we can use to gain advantage from night to night.
 
I'm really mystified as to why Hayward won't shoot. I'm trying to believe it's because he's young or nice or whatever, but I've never seen a guy pass that many times from right under the basket. Just shoot the freakin ball.
 
Favors is really concerning me. When we have Favors/Kanter on the court, he's absolute death to the offense. The dude has to pass. I can't take it anymore. It's not like there aren't benefits to having him out there, and I'm at peace with the learning curve, but pass the ball ONCE. He doesn't even like passing the ball out.
