Jazz vs Heat | Wednesday December 8th @ 7:00pm (The Rematch)

...if our hopes are based on having Fes available for this game....we might as well slit our throats right now and be done with it!

Well, that's not exactly my point. Anyway, last time Fes missed a game from injury (chin, or also stomach distress) he found an extended time on the bench waiting for him.
 
HHAHA Oh gawd. Captioning silly pictures is almost as funny as when people put nba basketball players heads on farm animals. Almost. I love you guys.
 
The Heat definitely want to get their revenge. Will the Jazz let them?

If we play like we have the last two games, absolutely.

Need to cut down on the jumpers. We're playing too soft and satisfied to just cast away from the perimeter. Need to get out on the fastbreak. Also need to play with more energy.
 
"The Heater" (Paul Millsap) will dominate this game and go off for 40 points in a Utah Jazz romp 119-95.
 
Right where he belongs.

Obviously he needs to be more consistent, but did you see the 1st half of the Dallas game, and he absolutely was a positive factor in the Memphis game as well. Can you admit maybe he has improved his game over the last couple of years?

Not remotely close enough to continue to warrant a roster spot. I think people see how big he is and wish and hope and dream that he's going to turn into something he's not going to turn into. People see him play and "contribute" what little he does, and they get really excited if he has some positive numbers or +\- , but all I see is them reaching for something that isn't there - especially after he's been in the league for 4 freaking years. Hell, some NBA careers don't last 4 years and he's had that long to show that he really hasn't gotten all that much better since year one. Look, if we were playing under the old illegal defense rules still, and we could just park him up above the 3 point line and make the opposing team have to put a man on him, like we did with Mark Eaton, and play 4 on 4, he would be a better fit. But this isnt 1993, and the days of big no-talented centers in that mold are a thing of the past. And so I ask, beg, and implore, to paraphrase another thread title: "Can the Fesenko experiment please end!?"
 
He played well in the Dallas game , and in the Miami game, which were the 2 most important games of the year so far.
I don't understand why fans want to drag down the players on their own team. Maybe they aren't fans at all, but people rooting for or working for Stern or another team. It's been like this on these boards forever. Laker money could buy a lot of fakers.
 
Fess is worth the 11th or 12 spot on the roster at the NBA minimum. But it is starting to look like he isn't going to ever 'get it'. So whenever we can acquire a better prospect big man we should do it.
 
Not sure why Jedi would call him a waste of a roster spot like him or don't (which I do), for what the Jazz are paying about 1mil it would be hard to find any player other then players on Dleague rosters or undrafted free agents let a lone a big man for that price range and cash is at a premium considering the Jazz are over the tax.
