Gotta agree .. it's less size, more anticipation/effort.

Someone Millsap's size has to work twice as hard. It's just hard for him to maintain that level of effort.

.....and smarts and technique! Technique involves always keeping contact with your man and keeping him between you and the basket!

 

[Sneakers]

Favors dominated and he and Carroll won us the game

 

[carolinajazz]

This game fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

...sounds like 99 out of 100 of ALL NBA games! More turnovers than assists? 30% shooting? Heck, I can see that at the YMCA or school yard every day of the week!

Which is why he needs to come off the bench, and be happy making 8 million a year

 

[Sneakers]

I don't know, I used to think Sap was 6th man in future. But I think he and Favors could start just fine.

So, anyone notice that Al Jefferson is 5th in the league in rebounding? He may put up empty stats sometimes, but people looking at his stats think he's an impact player.

Trade coming?

Sap and Favors 5-23 shooting combined! NBA power forwards? Fantastic! Well, at least our front line grabbed double digit rebounds a piece!

I'm agreeing with the resident forever troll .. nice work CJ.

Missed the Burks trade rumor thread. Definitely a trade coming.

If The Jazz were playing any other team in the league - and a few NBDL teams - this would have been a loss.

The Wizards, right now, are the worst NBA team I've ever seen.

Did any one else notice how loose the rims were? I don't know if it was done purposely or just wear and tear from all the bricks this team throws.

.....question is: will they break the 76ers record of futility which was what, 8 wins???

 

[carolinajazz]

Where was Wall? Must be hurt, right?

Didn't the Bobcats beat the percentage mark last season?

 

[jazzVA]

great seats didn't make the game look any better...uugggllaa...good thing the Jazz were playing the Wiz because they would have lost to anyone else...Al played great down the strectch and Favors/Carroll's hustle plays were a big factor...Millsap looked slow and disinterested, or maybe he's not 100 percent...Foye should be playing for the Wizards...it's hard to believe you could assemble an NBA team that bad...you could get better group of players together with blind luck...

An obvious observation from Locke:

• Interesting that Randy Foye plays the starting 2 tonight and seems lost the same way Gordon and Marvin did when they were in the starting line-up. Until the ball moves and we play the up tempo we were shooting for it is going to be very difficult for the 2 or the 3 to have an impact with how the ball goes left block and does come out very quickly.

Why is that? Could it be Jefferson?

Another reason to trade Al.

My point exactly.

Well Jazz get a 2-2 on this road trip. They were close to a 3-1 trip...

They could have easily gone 1-3 and it even could have been 0-4 if the Wizards hadn't sucked in the 4th quarter.
