This is to hard to watch - i really cant handle watching Ak jack up crap anymore or fail to finish. It feels like the first time for a long time when we are just not competitive and just lack talent. so depressing!
 
I know the bulls are really good and great defensively but that doesn't explain this heartless, gutless, pathetically weak team. It takes an entire team sucking in unison to amount to this much suck.
Anybody realize that Bell's tip in at the half finally put the Jazz over the points the bulls scored JUST from the 3pt line, surprising I know another team and multiple players having career nights from 3 against the Jazz.

There are so many examples of sucky D that there just isn't enough internets to list them all and that's just Bell, Watson & Harris

It's called mailing it in... This team is already planning summer vacation
 
I never thought it would come to the poit where the jazz would have Tony Parkes come out for tha t sideshow for any kind of entertainment. We sure aren't getting it in the game.
 
Britton says the Jazz defensive philosophy is to force players to the middle. I always thought it wa better to force someone base line
 
Isn't it nice watching the Jazz offense executed to perfection by Chicago. I've been disappointed before buy I can't think of a time I've ever been this disappointed with a team not just this game but overall no fight, pride or anything resembling the Jazz we used to know

Locke just wrote about this:

Forcing the ball middle or forcing the ball baseline
March 11th, 2011


When an NBA player gets the ball on the wing a defensive team has two choices, force baseline or force middle. The Utah Jazz forces the ball to the middle in contrast to most of the teams in the NBA who force baseline.

The Jazz force to the middle because the help defense is closer to the ball. The advantage to forcing middle brings the help defense off the outside shooter and into the paint. The defender should be able to help out and return to his player without causing massive rotation. If your team is clogging the paint then the defender is able to get their quickly. The risk is this method is the ball handler can see the entire floor when he drives to the middle of the floor. He can distribute the ball to the top or the cross court corner or wing.

Teams that force baseline usually bring a big to the ball as the help defender. They also will use the baseline to act as another defender. The advantage to doing this is ball handler has a hard time seeing the entire floor from the baseline drive. The down side is the cross side corner three is open in this system and the defense is forced to have mobile bigs who can slide over and help.

This is very rudimentary. If you want more details on things of this nature be sure to check out nbaplaybook.com
