Jazz Will Beat The Warriors On Wednesday 7 PM MT 03/30/16

Could be for the best, I think we end up the 8th seed and we play these guys in the first round, this could put a nasty taste in our mouths and light a necessary fire under our *** to somehow make the playoffs interesting. Never once felt like we were going to win this game, even when Mack went to the line up 2 and missed the first, it was inevitable that he was gonna miss one of them. Tough loss but hopefully they spin it positively.

Hayward is not and has never been a go-to scorer. He simply doesn't shoot well enough.

And he always finds a way to commit a huge turnover in the final minutes of a close game. I'm pretty sure he must have the highest turnover average in the last 2 minutes of a close game out of everyone in the NBA.

JK. It's not about which game is more important. It's about taking advantage of opportunities. Great players who make up great teams do that. They seize the moment. Hit shots when they should. Pick your cliché. They do it. And we didn't. It's characteristic of who we are as a team.

Hehehe. We're just nice yo.


We've seized the moment throughout this season. We drained two buzzer-beaters against Dallas in their court to win there for the first time since D-Will days. That game -- AGAIN -- was WAY more important than this game. That game -- AGAIN -- was taking advantage of a WAY more important opportunity.

In fact if you wanna bring "characteristics" into this-- name one ****ign game before this one this season, where the jazz shot 50% from the FTs in a very close game, and lost it.

I'll wait.

And yet Snyder continues to let Hayward run the plays with game on the line. I wonder if this is because Hayward is more clutch than Hood in practice? Because I'm pretty sure with seconds to go Hood is a better performer (though I don't have the stats to back up this claim).

What are the stats for this or is this just you guessing? I think Hayward overall is pretty good at shots in the final minute but thats just my eye test. Hood has been good too but he also misses shots or passes the ball off to someone else.

Actually, the last 5 minutes of regulation and in OT, Burke could not have played worse than Mack and he may have won the game for us.

Burke can't fight through screens. Has never been able to. We would've gotten torched.

Hayward is doing his best, we can't blame him. But he should not keep the ball in his hand down the stretch in close games...he almost always cause turnovers and rely on his jump shot late in the shot clock...he still didn't understand that he has to attack the rim aggressively in those situations too.

I think this happens because he tries to do too much. He gets double or triple teamed and gets criticized (like this game) for passing the ball off. Or he tries to fight through it and sometimes makes great plays and often gets fouled with no call. He needs more help, Hood is growing into that help player and Mack has taken a lot of pressure of him as well. But having 4 players that demand attention on the court with him has been rare.

Why? Because I speak the truth and vanilla fans such as you and Bawse *** sit in your little bubble where the 15-16 Warriors could compete to even guest teams in the 90s? Haha. Enjoy this "HISTORIC SEASON" where the majority of the teams are injury riddled and the their are coincidentally two "historic" teams.
