Game #18 Jazz at Houston, Saturday December 1 @6 PM MTN

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Millsap was outplayed by Patrick Patterson. Millsap shot 3 for 11 from the field. Neither Millsap nor Jefferson play meaningful help defense, so once their guards came off screens or got a step, they had an open lane to the rim.

Edit: That's why Houston had the higher shooting percentage and more free-throws.

This is why defense wins championships, road games, and makes teams elite.

Doesn't matter how many push shots you get Big Sally. You've got to get your shamelessly girly arms up in the air on the other end.

Painful to watch Lin drive past Mo at will, and then no one protecting the hoop. Or a kick out to a wide open 3 pt shot. Millsap's grandma could makes those.

Please trade Jeff or Millsap. Obviously our faux lofty aspiration are not going to materialize. Why hang on

Because Corbin lacks real coaching ability. He has no creativity on offense and defense so he needs those two around to take the blame.

Jazz made Omer Asik looking like Dwight Howard down the stretch.

Here are some tweets that are needed. Some are local some are national:

Patrick Kinahan ‏@PKKinahan
Al Jefferson seems to be awfully tired on one end of the floor.

Zach Lowe ‏@ZachLowe_NBA
Utah's defense leaking all over the place.

Benjamin Smith ‏@Benjiman31
@mharpring15 Call people out on defense. They need to be named individually.

This team needs Favors playing every game. The defense this game was worse than pathetic.

 

[CAKAR]

Enes Kanter just played 13 minutes WITHOUT Favors, WOW. 6 points 5 Rebounds and 2 Blocks at this limited time is quit good.
suckrone Corbin is not a Man, it doesnt matter if they trade one of the Vet Bigs, nothing will change at the rotation.

Man did I call this wrong. I said in another thread that with Favors out, Corbin would reward Kanter by playing Millsap 40 minutes, Evans 8 minutes, and Kanter with only 12. Leave it to Corbin to make me look like an ***: Millsap 35:57, Evans 9:06, Kanter 13:33

I thought it was too good to be true.

Predictable. The worst part was when the Jazz needed Jefferson and Millsap the most they were exhausted from playing TOO MANY minutes.

....and now Burks returns to the bench in favor of Marvin.

Who is excited for Marvin on Monday?

Nobody? Ok class dismissed.

.@AllThatAmar Tied at 88 HOU run sparked by mistake by veteran - Millsap missed stepback jumper & committed touch foul to give up 3ptplay.

.@AllThatAmar This year Utah's veterans have shown they make the same mental/physical mistakes that their younger players are criticized for
