Game 6: 11/7/14, Dallas at Utah - 7 pm (TV - Root)

[Primetime]

There's pretty much no denying that our half-court defense is still in shambles. I think there's more to it than the level of competition. The bballbreakdown video from the other thread shows how much Kanter, in particular, can be made a victim in any PnR situation. And, how much Trey has reverted to dying on screens.

Just watch opposing offenses. If they don't get exactly what they want in early-offense, they reset and target Kanter and/or Burke.

Quin has already shown he won't close games with Kanter. Good. The same decision is about to come down on Trey.

Dude we played the Clippers(Griffin), the Mavs(Nowitzki), the Cavs(Love) and even (to a lesser extend) the Suns(Morris-Twins). This is what those Teams do. They play a 1-4 PnP alot! They start their offenses out of it. That's what they do. That's what they want. They either kill you with that all day long, you change nothing and just take the pounding or you change your defense and open up a bunch of other stuff. So you can take your poison. Those guys other than the Morris twins are just that good.

Tonight is a big game. Who ****ing cares about the Mavs' sitch? I want to see if this team is going to respond to their last win. Are they going to be hungover, or are they going to use it as a springboard? Are they going to play with pride and try to take the wood to a team that embarrassed them not too long ago? This is about a young, deep, exciting team and a proud franchise that's been bruised the last few years fighting back.

Looking to go 2-0 on the Portland/Jazz one two punch.

I'm really anxious to see how we come out to start this game, coming off that huge emotional victory. Mavs just destroyed us at the start of last game. I wonder if it will be more of the same, or closer to the 2nd half of the last Mavs/Jazz game.

If we can limit the drive and dish/lob and make dirk work for his points we will win the game.

Let me try again since you seem to be misunderstanding me:

Let's put it in a baseball metaphor:

With Kanter and Trey pitching, you can sit on a fastball over the middle of the plate. If the first pitch is a curveball, you step aside, ball or strike. But, right now, at some point, you can guarantee that one of those guys is going to throw you that fastball over the plate.

I know that's what these teams do (1-4 PnR). But some teams make them dig waaaaay deeper into their bag of tricks/counters. The jazz don't.

Comprende?

Enough with the fighting and bitching.

Let's get in the mood for this game.

Go Jazz!

 

[Crawlnstall]

It's all about how we stop them from shooting the 3 ball tonight

 

[franklin]

I want to see if Rudy can guard Dirk and shut down that outside fade away.

You're the man

I'd rather put Booker on Dirk, we can't have have Rudy going out that far to guard Dirk. And Kanter gets stuck in no man's land too often.

I think Rudy should be in the last couple of minutes when the game is close. Just like Jerry used Korver at the end of games to be the designated foul shooter, Rudy is the designated rim protector. It will also help us in defending the three since our guys know that Rudy has their back.

Dirk will shoot over Booker all night long.

It wouldn't be a game thread if we didn't get hotttnickkk's "I hope they all get hurt and tired and dejected so we can pick up an easy win."

It wouldn't be a thread without naos bitching about another poster and then attacking them

So hotttnickkk doesn't always do this?

I'm just pointing out what he does. You're the one who is interpreting this as an attack. But I'm the one who should lighten up, right?

um..go jazz?

He has hoped for an easier situation twice now so you do have a point. I don't know if 2 times constitutes always, but I do feel that the majority of your posts are rude towards other posters. Its ok though, do what you do

Leave it to jazzfanz fighting with one another, stoked trying to keep the peace, and fish working both sides. Lol
