Remember the Alamo Dome - Jazz @ Spurs 3/23/2018 6:30 pm MST

Agreed, as much as 35 shots is a lot. I just don’t see the other option in a lot of situations.......and with the other options it’s not that unreasonable.


And back to Shad, I’m simply saying if one guy absolutely gets a pass this season for any mistakes he makes as far as fans are concerned it’s Donovan.....period, just period. I really want to make the playoffs, but I’m really excited about the years ahead as well. Let him fail, let him shoot them out of a game, let him get trapped and turn the ball over, let him take big shots, let him make every decision in crunch time, and in a couple years (or by next season as far as his standards go) he will be one of the top players, scorers, closers, and finishers in this league. If in 3 years he’s having the exact same games we can critique, but right now it’s all about him and making sure he goes through some struggles, mistakes, and comes out better and hopefully as the greatest player that’s ever played here.

I agree. We have a rough 9 games left, and we really haven't had much help from other teams. We'll have to dig deep to do it but I'm confident we can (as long as Rudy's knee isn't seriously hurt lol... then I'm not lol).
 
The good thing(for the jazz, not for Curry) is, Curry will most likely be out now with a knee injury. Isn't a guarantee but it helps our chances as sad as that is to say.

Trust me, Curry ain’t playing Sunday. I would place a million dollar bet on it.
 
The oversimplification of efficiency in basketball is really annoying by idiots like Shad. Sometimes you have to have guys who can take and make tough shots. Sometimes your efficient guys cant get the looks that make them efficient in the first place.
Yes calling people names makes your point stronger. NOT!
 
And Patty ****ing Mills hitting those two midrange pulls up in OT. **** was so lame.
Those killed me. OT 3 minutes left, Jazz up 3 and Spurs scoreless. Mills takes a long 2 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock, the kind of shot that just hands the game over to the other team. He makes it. Jazz scores back. Here comes Mills to take the same shot and make it again. F*** him. Those 2 plays and the Gay rebound surrounded by Jazz players lost us this game.

Hi, here a fan from Spain. My first post and maybe the last. First of all sorry for my english, i know is a disaster. Concerning the game:

1) Donovan is a stud. He will be nº 1/2/3 in the league in the future. He has to shot,20 each game, sometimes a little bit more sometimes less but the main important thing is that he needs to learn to share the ball and the end of the game. I know he is probably the only one that can create is own shot but if give the ball to mItchell 15 or 20 attacks in a row the game is too predictible. Utah can´t make the playoffs playing like that. If you have the ball and you go inside sometimes you will be capable to score and sometimes, with two or three defenders in front of you and with the rest of the team open you have to know someone will be alone ready to shoot. I know the stress of that situation but this what the boy needs to improve.
2) Rudy. I like Rudy, he is the type of player i´ve always wanted on my team. Yesterday was not his game ok. But he needs to develope his mid range shot urgently. And he needs to learn to play the post. I think that when your opponent is playing like L.A yesterday you have to make him work hard on defense, you have to make him feel frustrated on defense and then, his offense won´t be so relaxed. At the moment Rudy is not the player that can make you crazy, he needs Ingles, Ricky, Donovan to pick&roll and that´s predictible.

3) Ingles: He is playiing soo well. I love his slow motion game, very talented, here we say is "cream". But definitely he has to shoot more, i think he can give one step more to help Utah being a contender

4) Ricky : I have being always a fan , with his ups and downs. Sometimes has been frustrating. Always looking for a pass, sometimes a too difficult pass.His turnovers. His layups and bricks. Obviously he is far from perfect. But he has passion, inteligence, he Knows the game and now he is playing great. Yesterday was the one that put the team in his back in the third with his threes and in the fourth with his free throws to keep the game close until Donovan appears. Please UTAH FAN NATION give Ricky credit, he is playing hard. Give him more love. I think in this tread i´ve read only one post talking about Ricky , he did a great job. And he stayed the last ten minutes in the corner , watching what Mitchell, a rookie, was trying to do. I think he could help being more involved at the end because Mitchell plays hero ball a little bit too much for a team that wants to play playoffs.

We need more from the rest of the team.

I hope Utah will play the playoffs. Very, very, very good luck
 
I was watching the Spurs feed all game so I had no idea what was a foul or wasnt. The Spurs broadcast is like an alternate dimension where no one knows Ginobili flops to get every call.

I'm no real fan of those Jazz jerseys tbh, but did you hear how harsh they were about them. FFS, don't they know that away teams fans might listen... I mean who cares I get it - but it was classless.
 
I know its been said but there's something wrong with Rudy I feel. I noticed it when Shroder kept attacking the rim and Rudy didn't have the same explosive reaction timing and get up ability. I brought it up then and somebody pinned it as foul trouble but I don't think so.

With his height he should be getting 2 blocks a game by default and another 2-3 through effort.
