Jazz at Nets, 3/26, 5:30PM MT--KFNZ, ROOT, WFAN, YES

[Thee Jazz Fan]

The bench built up the lead, Favors and Burks kicked ***. Even Carroll was looking good. Then that 3rd quarter was a disaster. You saw how tired we were after just a few mins into the 3rd. In came in Favors, Burks, and Watson, and basically nothing changed (since Watson was completely worthless). Entered the game Millsap, Harris, and Jefferson who were reenergerzied and recommitted and the game was blown open.

Right around 6-7 mins left in the 3rd was when the Nets really made a run with our starters dying.

Corbin should have subbed early and often in this game only playing the starters in bursts. He should have subbed with about 8-9 mins left in the 3rd quarter. He should have given Jefferson and Millsap blows with Favors and Kanter. Seriously, against this pathetic NJ team, Favors could have played 25-30 mins (not 18) and it wouldn't have hurt us. Kanter could have played 15-20 (not 9) and it wouldn't have hurt.

Plus, Ty's lack of timeouts only fed to their run.

Lastly, has Watson ever looked better than Tinsley? Didn't think so. Watson is the 3rd best PG on this team, behind Harris and Tinsley. When Harris comes out, TINSLEY should come in. Not Watson. Why Ty is playing Watson over Tinsley is beyond idiotic. But go ahead, defend your boy, I DARE YOU. Prove me wrong you little ****.

You do realize the starters did get it back up to a 20 point lead in the 4th right.

Deron is quickly starting to turn into the NBAs version of "Randy Moss"... I play when I want to play... I'm starting to be glad we got rid of him... Seems like a good move now...

Hey Deron, why don't you take a page from Michael Jordan?? He played with a bunch of 2nd rate scrubs aside from Scotty Pippen too... But he was a LEADER... Something you will never be... Oh and he's got about 6 championships to show for it!

Right, because the '93-'94 Bulls were this abominable Colts-without-Manning butt-****ed disaster. Jordan won a championship in his seventh season. And he possibly had the best coach of all time, the best Robin of all time, a great shooter, and two top-ten pick bigs that held their ground. I'm not saying MJ isn't the GOAT, but he had better help than Deron has, and for Christ's sake, he IS the ****ing GOAT. Why are we comparing anyone to him except other top-10 players of all-time?

Yes, but that just might've had at least as much to do with the ineptitude of the Nets than the skill of the Jazz starters.

A thought:

THE NETS ARE HOW MUCH MORE TALENT THERE IS FOR OTHER TEAMS IF YOU WERE TO CONTRACT ONE.

That is the Nets biggest contribution to basketball this year. That we know how much more talent teams around the league can have with one less team.

“The old Jazz would have put their heads down and let them get away with the game,” Jefferson said. “This will show you how well we are playing now, to bounce back from last night and when they made their run and cut it to three, we still stayed on what we were doing and took over the game. That shows you how much we have grown as a team.”

Well put. Disappointed in losing the lead, but given the previous night, and the road, they hung in there and pulled the W.

Could be worse though. We could be net fans.

They traded favors, kanter, Harris, 8th pick of this draft (fingers crossed), 4-7 pick of this draft( barring a lotto win). For dwill and Gerald Wallace both of whom will not be nets next year. What a complete cluster ****.

....well, that's what you get when you turn your team over to a hip-hop GM (his name alludes me at this time, but I know he's heavily into hip-hop) and allow him to make any decisions whatsoever!

 

[carolinajazz]

...by the way, nice comeback win by the Jazz after that grueling, pathetic 4 overtime loss to the wore out Hawks! I thought for sure we'd lose this one.

Poor Deron; he can't even be a Prima Donna right.

While he pouted/mouthed his way to the Jersey shore (and maybe to the Brooklyn Bridge, if Mark Cuban doesn't bail him out), CeePeeThree diva'd himself a ticket to Tinseltown to play with that Kia guy who can dunk. And unlike Chrissy, Deron doesn't make teammates nearly as much better.

This is the best team forum I've seen ever. They photoshop players heads, use gifs, and best of all, it's super funny in a depressing way.

found this there - though I have used that image as my avatar at times in the past, I swear it's not me

Me watching Nets games ever since NBA trade deadline...

Just when you think CJ couldn't say anything dumber, he goes ahead and establishes yet another bar of stupidity.

Yes, CJ he makes bad decisions, so he MUST listen to hip-hop. And of course we all know that anyone who listens to hip hop MUST make bad decisions.

You're a moron.

(On reflection, I can't help but wonder if CJ is intentionally making a caricature of himself. I mean, can someone actually believe what this guy writes? Sadly, judging by his past posts, I'm more inclined to think he's serious than he's goofing on us.)

 

[//r00t 4 Jazz]

I know I was expecting a loss coming off of everything the Jazz had going against them I just assumed they'd be tired and let this one get away.

Also hard to complain in a loss (for me) during the 3rd Qtr I was thinking Corbin would sub early like he did in the 1st Qtr and I was thinking probably like most of you he should have gotten the starters out sooner especially after last night. I think he was hoping to rest the starters entire 4th qtr and so played them longer in the 3rd but that plan back fired when NJ cut into the lead. It started when mid-late 3rd Qtr and continued even when the bench came in causing him to have to put the starters back in IMO.

Also I don't have a problem with Watson getting time first off the Jazz had been playing a lot of games in a few nights so figured Watson was fresh and would hopefully supply that spark of energy he did early in the season. However Watson looked a bit rusty and not all that productive and it may have likely affected the entire bench play.
Guess we'll have to see how the backup PG plays out from here out, maybe he alternates games or goes off of match ups either way it is a good to have the depth now Tinsley should be fresher for the BOS game if he plays.

And he possibly had the best coach of all time, the best Robin of all time, a great shooter, and two top-ten pick bigs that held their ground.

Okay, you are right about 93-94... I should have been more clear... I was talking about mid-90s, preferably 96-97...

You might be saying, Well yeah Hanginthere... They still had guys like Dennis Rodman, Ron Harper, and Toni Kukoc... Yeah... Well after the Bulls these guys became NOTHING!

Rodman was a walking circus and HORRIBLY overrated IMO... All he could really do is rebound and make an outlandish shot every once in a while... A guy like that wouldn't last very long on any team in the NBA today...

Toni Kukoc went from team to team and never did anything...

Granted, Ron Harper was a little older once he left, but he didn't do anything special after the Bulls either...

Jordan was a great leader that made the players around him better than what they were...

You could say the same for Stockton and Malone... Guys like Shandon Anderson, Chris Morris, Greg Foster, Bryon Russell, etc played their best basketball here with them in Utah... But when they went elsewhere, they were never heard from again...

My point is... Deron is doing nothing to make those players on the Nets around him better... Not a damn thing, and that was apparent last night...
