1st Jazz Win! - Rockets @ Jazz tonight 8:30pm MT

[Mission Accomplished]

We didn't just settle for 3s. That is why we won. People that can't see that are blind. We did shoot a bunch of 3s that we missed luckily Mitchell, Rubio, and Royce attacked the rim.

the jazz have done a really good job for the rest of the NBA on how to shut down the rockets offence. any team with more than one good playmaker will figure it out

Kind of. I think it will take one or two full games for most teams to figure it out, meaning Houston can get a nice head start.

My "*" reading is pretty bad, but I get the impression you don't like Shad?

I'm sure they're dating, or they are the same person. Or they are dating the same person.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

So you think the upgrade will come in the form of a PG?

That or a starting PF.

Uhm, I'm not going there.

Hate to say it, but Mitchell just isnt good right now. Hope he can pull his head out his arse. He looks like he cant do anything.

Then he did everything.

Its too bad this isn't a 9 game series

I sincerely believe if it was a nine game series we would win by attrition. We have figured things out.

Donovan needs one of his 20 point explosions.

And right on queue, he has 19 in the fourth. One point off, though.

i can't believe Royce went for that stupid alley oop again .. lol ballsy

I swallowed my entire shirt when he lobbed that. Especially since that play was so costly in game 3.

Game 1 : 90-122 ; -32
Game 2 : 98-118 ; -20
Game 3 : 101-104 ; -3
Game 4 : 107-91 ; +16

C'mon Jazz, let's do it!

I’m getting the same exact pre-game meal. 4 piece combo at Popeye’s with red beans and rice side, Cajun fries side, a biscuit and a small Dr. Pepper.

I still think we have an outside chance of winning this series but its really hard to beat a team 4 games in a row. Especially a team like Houston who can get really hot for a game. Plus the Jazz can get cold for long periods. Its really too bad we didnt win game 3. That was the game we needed to win to make this a series. We had plenty of chances to win that.

The crazy thing, and what gives me a little hope is that fact that we have yet to shoot at or above our season averages from the field and 3 point line. Even in our win we had below average shooting. To win at Houston we have to have a game where we are hot from shooting. Houston does not have that good of defense. We are getting tons of wide open looks and just not hitting them.

Jazz averaged the 4th most wide open shots from 3 in the league during the regular season and made them at a 38% rate. In the playoffs we are leading the league in wide open 3 point attempts but hitting them at the worst rate of 23%. Rockets are averaging the 2nd most wide open 3 point shots per game in the playoffs but they are hitting them at a 43% rate which is tied with GS for 2nd best in the league. The Rockets in the regular season actually hit their wide open shots at a slightly worse percentage than the Jazz did.

This is by far the biggest factor in this series. If shooting averages work out Jazz are due to be hot and the Rockets are due to cool off. But that does not always work out that way.

I think if Ingles hits a few in a row from 3 it will really open things up for everyone and get the whole team rolling from 3 better. We need that to happen to make a miraculous comeback in this series.

If we win this game 5 I really think we can win game 6. Obviously at that point it comes down to 1 game and who knows.

The funny thing is, if we pushed this to 7, you know the whole league would be rooting for us. Hopefully Adam Silver would be rooting for us, too.

As strange as it sounds I think our best chance of winning this game is to play Rudy less. I think we need to see a lot of Favors at center.
