Dallas Mavericks @ Utah Jazz GAME THREAD (Airing on TNT, January 19th, 2012 - 8:30 pm Utah time)
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
Few things.
- Jim Carrey outplayed Ty tonight. He made Ty react, not enforce the way Jazz want to play. I saw the same pattern Phil Jackson kept outplaying Sloan.
- If we had Howard, this is an easy win.
- This was a good loss. Our team (mainly youth) now is down to earth after losing at home to an experienced championship team which exposed all their weaknesses. There is nothing a couple of film sessions can't fix. Hopefully Ty will learn as well.
- There is something wrong with Harris. He was frustrated with something in the very first 2 minutes of the first quarter. Something's going on either in his personal life or in the locker room.
Edit:
Probably this explains what's going on. Harris figured out this before game?

Got to the give credit to CJ Miles who attacked the rim, and played more like we want him too. Miles will always be up and down, but it doesn't hurt to give him credit when due.
Burks got burned a few times, but he was also playing hard on defense most of the time. He hit a few nice shots, and he looked like he belonged on the floor.
It should be noted that Sap did not play help defense on those plays, and watched Burks man drive to the hoop.

Agree. Corbin is sometimes subbing too much too quick. He also took Hayward out after just 6 minutes in the first. Bell was 0/4 at the time , Hayward was 0/1.
I think Hayward/CJ should have both been on the floor for almost the whole 4th. No Burks. Burks played very well. Hayward/CJ would have helped win this one tonite.
Also, obviously, why Ty took out Watson is beyond comprehension...really.
WIth the exception of his steal/pass to Hayward to tie the game with 2:47 left he was a huge liability.
I thought Hayward played great D, 4 steals and most importantly no more blocked layups. He did the dunk he needs to do when he drives all the time. Picture that dunk instead of passing the ball out lie he has in several games this year.
Just like he did in LA last year. Once he figures out not many block his dunk, he will be up a new level. Plus it seems to warm up his outside shooting.
I wonder whose minutes Howard will take now that CJ is playing well. I assume Burks.(Hayward --> 2)

The Terry vs. Harris argument is apples vs. oranges.
Carlisle didn't have alternatives (except an unseasoned Beaubois) who had proven to be clutch previously, and Terry (unlike Harris) has proven time and again that he can make the clutch shot. I'd probably put back in a clutch 1-for-12 vet, too, but not a non-clutch 0-for-6ish vet who had been hoisting shots all game, who had not been running the offense, and whose backup had ignited the team perhaps like nobody else the entire season.
You must be clairvoyant as well like myself.
I still rather have Hayward and Burks get more minutes than Howard and remember how young Miles still is.

The only area that I see this still being a factor is in energy. He is a a 7 year pro and the longest tenured player currently on the team. He is young but after 7 years he should have hit his full potential.

Just in case anyone missed this, there was an actual play on the right block where Derrick Favors found Earl Watson driving in the lane. I got a little misty when I saw that, like the first time my puppy pooped outside.
I saw that. It was a good play and nice awarness by Favors. Hopefully he builds on that.
