What's new

Redemption Game: Utah Jazz @ Dallas Mavericks

I gotta remember that this is a young team, with a new coach, trying to fix all of their bad habits, in a new system, against really good teams.
 
take out the first quarter and we lose by 2.

Dominant performance
We all get that it doesn't work like that, right?

If a better team doesn't bury you in the first qtr they try again next qtr and the qtr after that. Once they've buried their opponent most teams ease up.

We did at least start hitting our 3's.
 
No. You're wrong.
So Jordan is down by 5 pts with 10 min left in game 7 off the finals. He plays exactly the same way he would if his team were up by 10?

Or you can just subtract the amount of free throws made from bad calls and say you're team actually won the game if it takes away enough points so your team would have been ahead.
 
Would have been nice to have the core learning this LAST year as a coheasive unit.
Tough to accomplish with a lame duck head coach (not that Ty was the man for the job).

The rest of your post is spot on. Dallas killed the Jazz with the speed and precision of their execution tonight, but perimeter defenders were overloading the strong side a little (Alec popping in and out of the key) and rotating when the ball was being swung around the perimeter. Physicality at the point of attack, trust in teammates/communication, and sustained defensive focus take time, especially for a young team. I don't think the talent is there for this team to ever be particularly good, but they should get better as the season progresses.
 
The only thing this team needs is BIG-AL.... BOOOOOOO LINDSEY; BOOOOOOOOOO....

Give us back the one and only Lindsey, give us back our Al... :(

relax dude, i'm not being serious.

Don't get your panties in an uproar.
 
That first half was beyond brutal. The Jazz couldn't even muster a 4 point (or greater) run in it.

The second half was better, but was hard to get anything useful out of it, other than the Jazz can hit 3s.

To be fair, burks was sitting almost the whole first half with foul trouble and that hurt the offense. (he only played 5-7 minutes out of the 24 minutes in the first half)
 
Just curious, how many Jazz fans have seen that Mav roster? If they stay healthy it's going to be one hell of a WCF between them and the Spurs. They're stacked.
