Game 42 - Jazz at Cavs - 1/21/15 5 PM Mountain Time - Root Sports

Gobert and Favors are about to teach the Cavs why they won't win a title this year: rim protection.
 
BUILDING CONFIDENCE

Hitting a shot like that definitely helps your confidence, and confidence is contagious. Anytime you have an experience like that, it really helps your team out for the future. Whether or not you’re the one shooting it, you’ve seen your team come through at the last second. Everybody is more confident, and has gained that much more trust in one another. After seeing me do it, if Alec or Trey is in a situation similar to mine, I think it helps them believe: ‘Okay, I can do this too.’

I’ve definitely noticed an all around difference in my game as a result of the work I put in this offseason. I can see and feel things on the court that are different. My ball handling has been a lot better, and I feel so much stronger. That was a big part being able to matchup up with LeBron.

He can’t bully me as much as he used to, and I’m able to stand my ground against him. That’s going to be huge against a lot of the bigger threes that I’ll be playing since I’ve been playing a little bit more small forward this year.

To see the work I’ve put in paying off like that, it makes me work even harder

Seems like a case of some cavs twit just trying to light a fire under Lebron by misrepresenting the context.
 
@Tjonessltrib: When asked about his lineup this morning, Quin Snyder emphatically stated that Enes Kanter is his starting power forward

@Tjonessltrib: Snyder: We have a starting lineup. Enes has been the starter. Rudy comes off the bench. That's not something I believe in toying with

@Tjonessltrib: Snyder: Enes has been terrific. He's a big part of what we do and we need him to play well

Come on quin... Hopefully he's just showcasing Enes.

rudy on mozgov would be a better chioce
 
In all fairness the "as much" was left off of Hayward's statement when Lebron was told. Hayward was refering the simple muscle he has added and Lebron has lost. Not as much of a difference as it used to be.

Go Jazz!

Want big games from Hayward, Favors and Gobert!

Edit: Also ugh! about Gobert and Kanter.
 
The tweet itself is pretty hacky. The real quote was "not as much", and I believe it was said in an interview after we beat them. This wasn't a case of Gordo getting cocky in anticipation of this game, as it seems to be made out to be.

Totally. But you know the media guys was using the quote to pump up Lebron.

No chill mode for Gordon and the Jazz tonight.
