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

[NUMBERICA]

The win is a win is a win crowd and the "he made the game winning shot" ain't gonna like it, but I noticed again that while Big Al prospers, the team suffers. BA had a great start on offense, he scored 10 points early on and yet the Jazz were at best tied. It was only when Favors came in for Sap with improved D that we moved ahead.

Bad D loses games and BA and Sap together are bad D.

The Jazz also lost that huge lead with the starters on the bench and won when they came back in.

For whatever reason Hayward's seasons do not start officially until March.

At least he will be red hot during the playoffs.

Also Ia gree on whoever said Burks is special. Guy is going to be huge.

 

[NCJazz]

That is already taken care of. We have Millsap.

Jazz are 30-20 all time against the Heat.

What does it matter our record against the Heat five years ago? Some might actually claim they are a much better team now.

I haven't been tracking Hayward's FT%, but is it just me, or does it seem like he's money lately? I always thought he could be a 85%+ FT shooter, and while he struggled with confidence early, it looks like he's figuring things out.

Over the last month he's been making 93% of his FT tries, and 83% for the year overall.

Al kept us in the game during the first quarter. Cousins couldn't stop him and it was Millsap that was lacking on defense this game.

agree, Al at times played solid man defense. Millsap was horrible all game long on offense and defense. One last nitpick, was it just me or could no one on the Jazz catch a simple pass last night.

I agree, but I would still like to see Corbin use situation substitutions, like putting in Favors for Jefferson with 14 seconds left because you need a stop and a rebound. Other than that, take the W and get out of Cow Town.

Not exactly what you meant I'm sure but wanted to point out Favors was put in on the last play to guard the inbound passer, believe he was in for Harris.
But yes I was hoping as poor of a matchup the Kings are for Sap and as poorly as he was playing that maybe on the last few possessions at least we'd see Favors in for him.

Not saying Sap is a bad player or poor defender he just had a bad game and a bad matchup last night.

Alright, Alright. Wasnt sure. Millsap hitting those threes were crazy, but wonder if he has hit as many total since. Trying to work at the same time so not a lot of time to decypher posts.

Is anyone else starting to get excited every time Favors is on the court? Lately he has been amazing on both ends of the floor.
