Game Thread Feb 05, 2021 5:00PM MT: Jazz at Hornets

[Ellipse]

Down 2 at the end of the 1st, up 15 at half.

That's some pretty damn good ball.

Totally different in terms of superstar power. But damn, I really can only compare this team to those Warriors of the past five years. The way they erase and build leads, it’s the only thing that feels comparable.

Not sure how it will translate to the playoffs yet. But the ability to erase a huge deficit, then build a huge lead, all in one quarter, while not playing super well. There is not a better comparison.

I mean the Warriors weren't superstars until all of the sudden they were by playing like that.

Yep. Those warriors teams are a poor mans version of this Jazz team.

 

[KqWIN]

This team feels unfair. Come out sluggish on a road back to back. The other team is on fire. Your star players aren't necessarily having amazing games...and yet you're still up 15 against a playoff team.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

It seems like the Hornets only get to the rim on a broken play or an offensive rebound. Jazz break the paint to create open 3s, while the Hornets just pull from outside.

Hayward is a born loser

Jazz shut Haywood down that second quarter. You love to see it.

Although I'm not sure I care as much as I did previously. I realize I hated Boston more than Hayward.

 

[Agent#00]

We have a lot of very good basketball players

Conley and the subs just did a tap dance on his head.

Enjoy the time we have with Georges Niang, it won't always be that good. . .

 

[SteakNEggs]

Wtf? I was listening to the game on the radio driving home from work and we were up 4 with a few minutes left. Just got settled in and we're up 15?

Ok

Ok

Jazz hit like 5 three pointers almost in a row.

When the sound and picture are out of sync, masks are a blessing.

Don't put limits on our players. Hell, Niang may become another Clarkson. (Although I wouldn't bet money on that happening.)

Ok

Get used to it.

 

[str8line]

We're so good they're going to give us two championships this year.

Let's not be greedy. Save one for next year.

 

[framer]

Jazz should get a sportsmanship award for continually playing with the yellow jersey handicap just to keep things fair.

 

[framer]

We need to talk about Rudy's free throw shooting.

 

[MT Steve]

I wonder if anywhere in Hayward's mind is the thought "I shouldn't have ever left Utah".
