1st Round NBA Playoffs (Game #1 GT): Jazz at Suprs, Sunday April 29th 2012, 11:00 AM MDT (WTF)

I don't understand Carroll not getting the start. I really don't get it. That's the lineup the Jazz have been playing with, that's the lineup that has chemistry, and frankly, Howard is out of sync and right now Carroll is a better player.

but mommmmmm howard has playoff experience
 
Still laughable some of you think Howard/Carroll makes a bit of ****ing difference.

That said, yes Carroll > Howard
 
I feel Harris is getting a lot of blame for mistakes Big Al is making on defense. Yes, Harris struggled today, he couldn't pass, didn't shoot well and he didn't play the best defense. However, when your running off screen after screen you get tired. You get pissed when you don't get help. Even the Jazz coaches recognized at half time that the bigs (90% Al) weren't stepping out on Parker.

One more thing. Which is just bad coaching, when Kanter does step out on the screen, somebody has to help the helper.
 
Burks is instant offense. Dude can get to the FT line like none other. Yet he rots on the bench for most of the game. Favors needs more time to boot. Kanter...dunno about him as yet.
 
Big Al - this dude is so bad. Now you can see his value - at this level you see everything.

Too bad that he'll have one more year of his contract here.

I hope KOC somehow can smoke him.
 
The Jazz are going to have to make some player moves. I'l be a bit disappointed if Harris is still here a year from now.
Also, if the Jazz want to sell high on Al Jefferson, right about now might be the time.
 
Al Jefferson is not good. Trade while he has value, because the Jazz will never win in the playoffs with his defense, or lack thereof.
 
Watching us get our asses kicked by the Spurs sure was worth that pick, right? It's so nice to see Josh Howard, the SF of the future start and get valuable PT.

Like I said before this series even started, staying competitive and winning just 1 game against the Spurs is a W in my book.

However, I think it might need to be watered down even further... Staying competitive in this 4 game sweep and not allowing Howard to take many more mins over Favors and Burks should be a "w" in my book. I would much rather see Millsap or Hayward play the 3 than see another minute of Howard. Dude is done. Let him tryout for another team on his own watch, not on ours.
 
J.Howard starting is defenetely coaching mistake, that shows the way Ty is thinking,
todays game showed we need different style of playmaking Harris do NOT fit here,

i hope KOC see that and will find Q Experienced Point Guard next year

Who? While I'm no fan of Harris, I don't see anyone better who would realistically come to Utah.

KOC, use Big Al, Harris, TPE, FA - to add some good pieces next year.

What about Jeremy Evans? I think he can be useful this series.

You really are a very annoying human. I don't like you.
 
I'm not copying that whole list of PG FAs, but I don't think Harris is doing anything that Aaron Brooks couldn't do, or Jameer Nelson for that matter.
