Gamethread: Jazz v Lakers. 7pm MST.

[DasAuto]

I love coach quin, his philosophy and his "motivation" looks and his attitude but in my opinion this lose is on him. IMO he was outcoached by byron Scott. He had no idea or a plan what to do agains zone defence and was also wasting his timeouts.. I mean such a young team can struggle but u still have to have a plan to beat a really bad team.. may be it's bad scouting or preparation but it's still goes down to him. This is a loss where I cannot blame any of our players... I still believe in him but I think (like the majority of our players) he has some rookie issues (shortcomings) I know I'm new on this board and please don't think I hate quin snyder, I actually love him but I think this one is on his back

So the question is why are there so many SoCal transplants here?

Because Utah is great/cheap compared to some of the god awful parts of south California.

In the last 617 minutes Exum has played he has been to the free throw line 1 time. People don't realize how crazy that is. He needs to learn a thing or two from Alec.

Isn't it funny how Exum ended up being exactly the opposite of his scouting report coming into the draft?

Please ban this stupid fishsticks cause here smells like a rotten fish.

All you've done is say untrue statements and name call. Care to elaborator on why I am a "dense mother"?

Obviously it must be because:
1. You have given birth
2. Your mass/volume is abnormally high

****...guess we won a few we should not have. Love our progress, but fo real....we need better draft position than 12. 10 or better please.

Yep

Really though...we have not scored 100 points since Kanter was moved. We really need Burks to be that 17-18 point guy next year.

Umm hmmm

Come the **** on. Unfair. He has carried the team on multiple occasions this year.

Agreed, Hayward is the ****ing man

I started the game with a glas of white wine and now I'm drinking vodka and I have no idea how I got to this point!

Nice transition

I don't think anyone thought the Jazz were a top team or anything,

After the Portland and San Antonio games lots of people were crowning the jazz. Talking bout getting over 40 wins, going on huge win streaks, even making the God Damn playoffs and what not.

We still suck this year. We are not ready. Need a good draft pick

Gonna respectfully disagree. When the Jazz weren't gunning for the franchise TO record, their offense was playing well enough.

I think the game plan was fine - the execution was just embarrassingly sloppy on the players' side.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Exum is treading water right now. I think he'll be fine. The other rookies his age are Bruno Caboclo and Noah Vonleh.

Patience folks.

 

[fishonjazz]

The games against the Blazers and Spurs weren't fools gold.

So you think it well be typical for the jazz to hold teams to 70 pts per game?
Think the jazz are going to keep holding teams to thier lowest point totals for the year?

You gonna be disappointed son

Exum just needs to play and survive this year. It's tough to remember, but he never played AAU ball. He goes from horrible basketball to the NBA. At least the straight from high school to the NBA kids in the US played AAU ball. Or a year of college ball.

He will get there.

He won't be that good next year, but he will be very impressive. That doesn't make a lot of sense, but he will improve so much, it will be impressive. And the good news is, he will still be miles from his ceiling.

Four years from now...wow. Watch out. Exum, Gobert, Hayward and Favors will be destroying the NBA.

 

[fishonjazz]

Props to Gobert for 16/14/3blks and only 1 foul and 1 turnover.

If the Jazz get some spacing, shooting and solid guard play, things will get much better.

Next year bro
