Jazz @ Kings 3/22/12 8PM MT Game Thread

Hey did everybody forget Burks' clutch layup? What the hell...I thought there'd be like 20 threads about how he's now the star of the team and can lead us in clutch time.

The dude got mauled too on that play! Should have been an and 1... The kid is clutch and will be something special VERY soon.
 
I'm just glad that Ty finally had the balls to bench CJ and put in burks. That move won the game.
 
Burks played an important role in the 4th quarter. He had 2 defensive rebounds, an assist and a lay-in when we needed it.

Yeah I forgot about that and-1

Clutchness is a big time skill. Lebron doesn't even have it. But Zulu is right, Ty won this game by putting CJ out.

Don't forget when he ripped the ball out of Cousins hands, when it looked like Cousin was going to have another offensive rebound with an easy put back.

This isn't the D-Will Boozer teams, they weren't going to get any better. This is a new era of Jazz basketball. There are 4 lotto picks already on this team with lots of talent and potential, who have hardly began to tap into the high potential that they have. As they gain more experience and more minutes they will evolve into a very good team, unless they never learn to win as a team or lose confidence unlike the Jazz of the past 6 years this team hasn't reached their ceiling, not even close. This young team reaching the playoffs and being able to have success will help this team more then a lotto pick and becoming even younger and continuing to rebuild.

Seriously. We are watching this team achieve an identity. This is a very young team. A very new coach. The people that want instant gratification might want to take a look at the Simmons' article thread. What Utah is doing is building an atmosphere of winning within a team concept.

Corbin is doing a superb job.

I find it amusing that everytime you two repeat this argument, you never talk about losing a valuble asset, that could be a critical building block in building this team. You always talk about how this team doesn't need any more youth, which really isn't true anyway, and isn't the only possibilty in how the team utilizes the asset. Adding one or two more pieces to develop with our core would be great, and the sooner the better if we're gonna do it. It's not like we can't afford to lose a spot to CJ/Bell/Howard/Carrol to make room. Or we could package the picks with a vet for a star player. Lots of possibilities, and yet you guys stick to the same old line.

By the end of this season, this team will be who they are, regardless of whether the can extend the season by 4-5 games. If they could somehow put themselves in a position to get to the second round, then I'm sold on the playoff experience being worth the loss of an asset. But if you want this team to squeak into a 7th or 8th seed, only to get their asses handed to them for 4-5 games, then I must say you don't have a clue as to the kind of value an 8-9 pick in this draft would represent to this team.

After watching our meltdown in the 4th quarter against the kings, I see nothing to indicate that we aren't still a bad road team, and likely nothing more than an easy 1st round exit.

Do you not just have fun with watching exciting games and wins? Does every single game have to be a cog in the giant eternal master plan that is the Utah Jazz?
 
^lol for real!

can't believe the amount of ingrates here. id bet that even when devin leads the jazz to a championship there will be guys saying, "yea sure thats a nice little championship, but guess what, al jefferson played 5 too many minutes in the last game. it would've been nice to get kanter some experience. plus, now we have the last pick in the 1st round. sure we just won the championship but the future is F'd. next year = 1st round exit."

everyone complaining about getting a lower seed obviously hasn't paid attention to previous LOCKOUT SEASONS.
lower seeding isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. You just have to get hot at the right time.

Just to note, Jazz are 1 1/2 games from 4th in the conference.

Just sayin'.

I don't expect to get there, but it's not that far off.
 
Wow. I'm actually getting excited about the wins now. 4th seed in striking distance. I never wouldhave thought. I figured we were a 28 win team.

Corbin is doing something right.
 
Why can't we get to the 4 seed? Homecourt in the first round.....sounds great to me.

Clippers are falling fast and rumor has it that the players hate DelNegro.
Memphis, I don't even know how they ever got there. The jazz blew them out easily.
Dallas has been up and down. Denver gave Nene away.

With the way this season has gone, anything can happen.
