Catman Gorg vs. The Devil David Stern, Monday February 13 @ 6:00 pm mst

After the starters literally threw up their hands and quit early in the 3rd-qtr I loved seeing how the bench brought Utah back solely off hard work and hustle. We d'd up on NOH, protected the rim better, and didn't settle for perimeter jumpshots - we took it hard to the basket, crashed the boards, looked to finish strong and got to the foul line.

Kanter missed his first three shots but hit 3 of the next 4 attempts. To go with 12 boards in 22 minutes. Would love to see him, Hayward, Burks, and Favors getting a minimum of 20 minutes per game.

Good game experience for Kanter too. For awhile Kaman was taking him to school down on that right block...the face-up jumper, then Kaman used the right-shoulder fade-away to set Kanter up for a left-shoulder jump hook. Kanter's usually playing against backup centers and then goiing up against Jefferson and Favors in practice. Good for him to get some NBA minutes guarding a 7-footer with a versatile repetiore. Eventually Ty did realize it was a tough matchup and switched Favors over to Kaman for the final 3 minutes but Kanter will learn alot from that matchup.

Right. At the very least. I can't wait until management makes up their god damn minds on what our goals are. Time to go young.
 
Burks game more impressive considering jazz as a team shot what just 1 free throw the ENTIRE first half
 
Hopefully Howard or CJ get traded to give minutes to what could be the best player on the team- Alec Burks. He threw a pass to Favors that was probably on my top 3 Jazz passes of the year.

Anyone notice how they visited the motel where Martin Luther king was shot and learned a little more about black history in the Memphis game. Do teams do this all the time? Did it help some our players bond a little better or give them a sense of pride to win the game?

...yeah, that was the trick! Look how it helped them tonight against a 5-23 team playing shorthanded!!!
 
Can someone please clarify this for me, Who was teaching who how to win tonight? It looked like it was the Rooks and Sophs that carried this team when it mattered. Maybe my eyes were deceiving me.
 
Tonight's game has the most incredible +/- in the box score. Allow me to indulge you:

Bell: -3
Harris: -14
Jefferson: -9
Millsap: -16
Miles: -14
Howard: -14

Hayward: +8
Watson: +8
Favors: +10
Kanter +3
Burks: +11

That, my friends is a true barometer of who actually gives a crap about winning and playing for pride.
