Kings at Jazz Game Thread Saturday 3/5/11 7:00 PM MST

Agree with the above - you just want AJ to take it to the basket as much as possible rather than settling for the jumpshot. He carried us tonight tho. It is a pity we didnt make a trade/play for thornton - he would be nice to add to our "great" SG rotation.

Hopefully we get a bit of confidence from the win - but the fact remains that we have no dangerous shooters, and without that, when the paint clogs up, our points go dry. Hopefully raja continues heis somewhat renaissance and becomes a 15+ point scorer for us???

I must say, with AJ and elson playing together - it felt like our rebounding and defence was better - I'm not sure if that was the case - but it felt like it. Maybe the playing of AJ at PF and and Favors or Elson at C, and Milsapp off the bench - is the way to go. It would be a gutsy move for Ty to do it.
 
I just saw the end of the game; was surprised not to see Millsap. Was he hurt? Elson did have some good plays.
 
A win is a win and we needed one bad.

But this is not one to hang your hat on. Build off of? Yes. But there's a lot of building to do. Hopefully this game got them over the hump and enables the Jazz to play better down the stretch.

This team has a lot of work to do.
 
Cousins did post a -13 for what that is worth. He was very inefficient last night and let his emotions get the best of him on several occasions. Favors > Cousins.
 
Didn't KOC say Sac offered us a package for Williams? I wonder if Cousins was a part of it. I'm sure KOC wanted no part of that headcase, though.

Big Al is playing on a very high level and with him we were able to stay in games, but we need a clutch shooter to close the game for us. Seldom does a big man get the open looks at the end of a close game to take the last shot, and tonight it was Bell who was able to play that role.

Also at the end of games when we have a drop dead need to score a basket, Big Al tends to take a jump shot instead of going to the basket. For the most part the paint is packed at that time so the best thing to do would be to draw double team and pass it out to the shooter. So, again, we need that shooter.

Al has been terrific, I think I used to criticize Karl in the end game situations for taking 15-ft jump shots--but it is what the defense gives I guess. The two things I wish Al could improve on earlier in the game is drawing fouls and taking an agressive first step. I think he only had two foul shots against the Kings.
 
Hayward is the man. He is going to be an all-star for us. I hope Ty the Turd starts playing him significantly more then Bell. Yes, I know Bell hit big shots for us against the Kings - but this is about the future and giving Hayward all the experience he can get this year. Bell is over the hill and will give us a game like the Kings' once out of every 15 games on average.

Couldn't be happier with the nucleus of our squad with the drafts coming up! I think we could run off 3 to 6 straight chips in the near future!!!
