Game #3: Jazz at Spurs 6:30 PM MST - Root Sports, 1280 AM/97.5 FM

Lots of blame to hand out. I want to keep an open mind but so far I am not impressed with Foye in the last 5 min of a game. I am also disappointed in the substitutions. I thought he took Mo Sap and Gordon out when they had the hot hand. And they were WAY to late in taking out Al when he couldn't/wouldn't play any D.

Not too young. I saw Stockton and Malone lose in Phoenix and Chicago a few times. I was hoping the Jazz would pull one out tonight... third quarter was nice. Those first two though... wow. UGLY.

Folks in the seats around us were asking if Utah was running an offense. I have to agree with them, it was horrendous. I saw Hayward looking at Mo like "what the heck do you want me to do", pointing the direction he thought he should cut while Mo was yelling something else on their way back to the bench. Foye was getting visibly frustrated by Green... started hanging his head (litterally) after some of those makes.
 
Out of this loss it was good to see the Jazz fight back. But the one thing that concerns me is how lost Kanter looks. It's like he's lost out there. And after preseason I too had high hopes. Let's hope he improves soon. We need a scoring machine off the bench.

How did Kanter lose all his confidence & foot work as soon as the regular season began? It's baffling.

Easy to have that in preseason when you play vs scrubs or when opponent main players play at 50% at best. Nothing beats real game experience and he made dumb decision not to play for Turkey during summer. Now it shows. He looks lost.
 
Is the third game too early to blow it up?


Favors is not a superstar. Hayward is not a starter. Burks is not .... well I wanted the Jazz to draft Leonard, he gets playing time on the Spurs. Kanter is a lost puppy. The jazz should have traded all of them to get Lillard.
 
I just finished watching the game. First, I have a question. With about 3:30 left in the game and the Jazz down 5, Big Al passed the ball from the block out to Hayward who made what looked like a 3 but it got waved off. Was that a 3 second call? Stupid Brown and Harpring were just yakking and never said what the call was. That was a turning point as the Spurs extended the lead to 7 on their possession and never really looked back.
 
i think kanter must play more minutes cuz he can only gain experience like this. Look at bismack biyombo?, he can't grab the ball even his hands are worser than kwames but he played 25 min last year and now he has a confiance and a good knowledge of nba basketball

but who's minutes you want to give to Kanter? He is not ready for starter minutes, unless Jazz trade big Al and start tanking that is just not happening.
 
Another observation is that Foye's defense left something to be desired down the stretch. Danny Green scored a few buckets late when Foye didn't stay on him very well.

Our offense has become totally stagnant.

Has it ever not been stagnant with Big Al?

I mean... Even with Sloan and Dwill, our offense sucked.

With DHarris and Corbin? It sucked.

With Mo Williams and Corbin? Still sucks.

It's obvious that if you want an offense that isn't stagnant you cannot have black holes play on the court.
