GAME THREAD: 12/9/13, Blazers at Jazz, 7 pm local

[Getting Traded]

Batum is bigger and better than Matthews and would abuse him even more.

Can't put him on Lillard since who is Burke going to guard, then?

Actually, Matthews is stronger -- Burks is 6-6, Batum 6-8 but not a physical player. In any case, let us create the mismatch by forcing them to guard Burks because they weren't having much luck earlier. So, instead of being defensive and passive, you become offensive and take it to them. We have the home court so that usually favors the offensive and aggressive team.

I saw real improvement on the defensive end from Kanter tonight.

I hope that clown of Corbin has seen too!

A more creative and gutsy coach gets Burks on the floor for more minutes.

Whatevar. Tank!

Who's Aldrich?

If you knew I meant Aldridge your just being a jerk. If you didn't know that's who I meant your an idiot.

 

[Diamond77]

I think your looking for things that aren't there. Did Aldrich make a couple of incredible fade away shots yes. Did he make more shots over Evans?

Nobody talks about the questionable Evans defense! I like his effort and the energy he brings but in my opinon he should not play more than 15-20 when Marvin and Favors are back! I have the sensation Corbin prefers Evans more than Kanter!

We need another Fire Corbin thread.

If you knew I meant Aldridge your just being a douche. If you didn't know that's who I meant your an idiot.

"Your an idiot" is quite possible the stupidest insult.

Not typing someone's name correctly is more of a douche move than calling someone out on it.

You're an "oldtimer." One would think you could use the language properly.

Being old doesn't guarantee literacy

Probably a defensive reason why Burks is on bench. Matthews was abusing Burks pretty good in the second half.

How did matthews do guarding burks?

I will never be as good as you and darkwing at typing on a message board. I try to type as fast as possible while watching the game. It doesn't always turn out the best. Thank god you and Darkwing are there to point out the flaws. Idiots. Why always attack other posters instead of just letting these meaningless mistakes go by the wayside. You would rather makes someone feel stupid is why. When you both get older you will realize that whether someone types Aldrich when he means Aldridge doesn't matter. You more of a jerk to point it out than just let it go.

 

[fishonjazz]

This reminds me of the time Favors went for 23 points against the bucks and then didn't see anytime in the 4th. (Burks goes for 20 and doesn't see the end of the game).

Was gonna say the same thing.
Burks playing the best game of his career against a really good team and gets rewarded by riding the pine.

Should help with his confidence/ psyche

Wrong.
Batum is all finesse/soft player.
