no way, did you see how many times the Jazz got blocked tonight?? thats acceptable to you? your standard must be ****ty huh? not me.

this was a lackluster effort vs a team, in a venue where they obviously needed to be on high-alert.

This is no playoff team, their so easy to gameplan against, this is just some sort of learning experience/trade showcase disguised to keep the fans intrigued.. I smell ********, been calliing it since the summer -- they didn't fool me then, their certainly not fooling me now.

Did you see how the Warriors were fronting faovrs, and how thye knew Burks was driving? I know what I'm looking at, their asking too much of these players, on purpose, it's a prep year...

I think the coaches were involved, they wanted to go after Bogut which is unnecessary, Hayward and Favors both got blocked early-on trying it.

Burks should start at PG, Burke at SG and he should only probe/dribble and kick out when he needs to closeout vs a defender flying at him at the 3pt line. the way it's all setup now sorta works, but it's not the best for all parties involved --- The whole rotation and Neto starting thing is moot if he's going to ruin 2v1 fastbreaks bringing the ball up to his shoulder to telegraph a bounce-pass, and then catching the ball while he's standing out of bounds.

The Jazz had butter fingers, and nervous eyes, and poor anticipation -- bunch of bad ****.

Their headed towards the lottery. I've had my fill of Jazz basketball. I quit.

Can you tell me a question I have for you? Do you have friends in life? And I know it sounds mean for me to say it, but I am try and understand who you are on the inside. Ok?
 
You know why our offense looked so bad? It's because Hayward had a bad game. We are back to the point where the offensive is completely reliant on Hayward, even though we have Burks. If Hayward isn't perfect, the Jazz suffer because Burks (or Hood) hasn't turned the corner and become a consistent player who can make his teammates better.
 
Anyway. I'm disgusted with the effort tonight, it was deplorably sloppy - watch the replay.. this game was infact winnable.. I'll say it.

this is a damn experiment with a great bunch of PR/ conniving bologna to fool the customers for yet another season, not an NBA playoff team(which could've easily been constructed in the offseason),, all I needed to see was the Pleiss and Ingles contract #'s to know that they weren't pinching pennies to actually max out the talent here, I also called that they'd pull the plug on any playoff run if they had the injury excuse available...

I'll cya's in the offseason, the FO was #satisfied, not #hungry during Free agency-- The result is yet another season in the lottery... Jazz were a top priority for me watching games, not after tonight. I've seen this type of movie before!!

The 76ers have 3 championships, complain about their tank all you want, they have 3 championships. this Jazz team has as many championships as an expansion team, but they've convinced a good amount of fans on their cake baking skills and ****.... They've made good picks sure, but they could've done better, there's no reason to sit around and admire your work. they need to get better, and not internally, everyone needs to get better internally -- Obviously.

Players are being showcased for trades right now, this isn't the proper rotation at all.
 
Didn't get a chance to watch this one. Did anyone even remotely hard foul Curry? If you want to win you have to rough him up. Period. I'd have a guy whose sole job in the rotation is to foul Curry hard twice and then pull him back out of the game. Maybe Millsap since he can't help but foul all the time anyways.

If Steph Curry is taking between 2-4 hard fouls per game it's going to wear on him and his slight frame by the end of the year. For that reason alone I wish we had Dellavedova. An enforcer in the back-court with some nasty to him. Mix it up. May not help tonight, but could pay big dividends down the road.

If our team was comprised of Hayward plus 14 other players homeytennis selected for the team, then yes, I would agree. However, we have one of the best young power forwards in the league and he is nearly unstoppable in the post. We don't have to be reliant on Hayward. That's the point. We could be so much better if our offense revolved around Favors.

How hypocritical is this statement? It's important that other players on the team become consistent (which I agree with) but isn't it also important for our star/leader/all-star to also be consistent? Why isn't Hayward called out for not making his teammates better? Isn't that what "stars" are supposed to do?
 
Wow, didn't see that coming. PGAB just went Thriller on this Jazz team. Well,it was sort of like Thriller, a bit more reasoning, a little less venom.
 
I know Alec burks has only played 5800 minutes in his 5 seasons(for comparison, Klay Thompson has played over 10,000), but when can I start expecting Alec to perform on a regular basis?


The Jazz got the 3 and 12 pick in that draft, and they drafted Todd MuCulloch and Tyus Edney. Franchises don't recover from those mistakes easily.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Favors is out of shape.
