What's new

OKC Thunder @ Utah Jazz: ESPN/Root Sports @ 8:30PM MST

I like that Hayward is playing well these past handful of games, but where in the hell is his 3 point shot? We need to hire Sherlock Holmes to find it.

AK didn't even shoot this bad in any year besides his terrible 06-07 year.

It's really bizarre. He has no confidence at all in it, and passes up wide-open threes. He shot so well last year, so how in the hell can it leave him like that?

It is one of the more bizarre things I have seen in basketball. I mean, I knew he wasn't going to be a 45% plus 3 point shooter for his career, but I expected at the very least 35%.
 
I have zero confidence in Al and Paul securing rebounds/protecting the paint.

also, it sure feels like the Jazz had way more than 15 TOs...
 
I hate the Jazz offense, it is offensive. I know Ty changed the defense and hinted that the offence would have to wait for a longer training camp--but its past time.

The jazz players run like crazy on offense and set up nothing. The big guy gets the ball 18 ft out with his back to the basket--he can't score or pass from there and OKC was denying the pass because everyone knew where it was going.

Worse, the OKC guards knew where the ball was going and when it was coming back. They were picking off the same pass all night. Their timing of the Jazz offense was better than the Jazz.

Its time to make another change. Do it coach.
 
The Jazz utter lack of PG play right now is absolutely killing them. Once again the Jazz get dominated by an elite point guard. How many more teams' PG's are we going to let go off against us before we realize that our utter lack of talent at Point Guard is a major need right now? The only team that the Jazz have beat this month did not have a great point guard (ironically the Lakers). Chris Paul KILLED us. We got blasted by Stephen Curry and Golden State. Jeremy Lin has been killing everybody lately. Darren Collison, while not a great point guard, went off for 25 FREAKING POINTS against us. Russell Westbrook just annihilated us. The effect of not having a player of Deron Williams' caliber at point guard is just destroying us this year. It is our definite #1 need in the draft or at the trade deadline if we are serious about becoming contenders again.

good post
 
Seems i have to eat some serious crow tonight. JEREMY LIN!! I seem to have made a grievous error in my assessment of Mr. Lin's talents. Hail to Jeremy Lin! If his star zooms any higher we are going to be looking at something akin to a miracle. Some people just have a knack for playing this game when nobody else seemed to think they can. Seeing for me wasn't believing, but i believe now. 38 Pts tonight i heard.

We have all been saying that our kids are learning but not ready yet, at some point they have to be better than what we are getting from Millsap and Jefferson. I would like our young's to get more playing time sooner rather than later. What have we got to lose except some more games. Does anyone have an explanation for Paul Millsap's play? Are the ref's in his head? That violating the baseline call on him as he inbounded the ball didn't look right to me. He lifted that inbounds foot before making the pass, seen this done 100's of times and as long as one foot is out of bounds and the other is in the air, that should be legal. What up with that? Anyone have a different take on it? Don't want to over-react but the season seems in danger of slipping into chaos as it did last year.
 
OKC was triple teaming the post and making the Jazz beat them from outside, but the Jazz don't even really have the confidence to pass the ball out of the post. The Jazz know they don't have much perimeter game.
