Game #7: Grizzlies at Jazz, Friday 01/06/2012 7:00 MST

The Jazz should pound the ball in the middle, and try to get Gasol into foul trouble.

No problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ano_OLYMV4s

Good points! I still feel like it is a general rule of thumb that your big men should shoot at least 50% from the field.

Dirk?

.550 TS% is probably a better standard.

I swear, if League Pass blacks out this game heads will roll. They blacked out the last 2 games. And I live in Maryland. Can't imagine a reason for that.

Is it just me or does it feel like a eternity since the last game

With having a game almost every night a two day break does seem like a long time. Hopefully the team got some good practices in.

Burks has the most balls on the team probably thus far. I kind of like how he broke a post up play off after he realized there wasn't enough time on the clock to feed the post man and have that man create a shot, so he broke the play, called a pick, and drove it to the rim and scored.

That has to be the most impressive move he has made this season! Can't wait to see what else he will show us this year!!

I also like that he was listened to instead of Big Al demanding the ball. Shows a level of trust.

I think the hook shot can be one of Favors "go to" moves. Now we need to call more plays for him.

Favors biggest problem right now is that he might be a bigger black hole than Jefferson right now. If he gets the ball within 7 feet he goes for it. No assists on the year IIRC.

Or that he is shooting 40% from the FT line.

When you're a player like Al Jefferson (doesn't shoot threes, doesn't get to the line, puts up shots at an insane rate), I totally agree.

Yikes. Kid has a ways to go. Fortunately, his form is good and I think the touch is there too. History says he had better improve quick or he won't get much better.
