The Jazz play the nix tonight at 5:30

Anyone else find it concerning how we never double, especially players who post up? I just find it interesting that we never seen to double. I get the idea of not wanting to leave shooters wide open. But at the same time, when a guy like Melo is just getting layup/fouling out our entire team, shouldn't you send someone over to either make him pass it out and reset or think for a few seconds before making a move?

The good news is we've been in every game this road trip. We could have gone 4-0. I guess some would say since we didn't win all the close games it wasn't a success. I'm just glad this team is competitive on the road right now. Let's beat Toronto, and come home happy.

I'd say it has been a success because we are 2-2 so far this trip and the Jazz have been in all of them. Big not for learning to close out they would be 4-0 on this trip. This road trip has provided 4 very good learning experiences.

Still plenty of room for improvement but there has already been dramatic improvement.

No one was going to keep Melo from shooting. If Favors was closer, Melo would have jumped into him and got free throws and possibly hit the shot as well. But it doesn't matter, we won.

All Favors had to do was get up in him so that Melo couldn't bend his legs to get a normal jumpshot off and put his hands straight in the air without jumping. This would've created an even more awkward and difficult shot

it's always pissed me off how we would automatically double in the past, so I don't mind it. Let Melo get his and stop everyone else. Melo can't beat us by himself.

Is anyone else just shocked by how good Hayward looks? Unbelievable last night.

Yes and no. I remember years back during his rookie year proclaiming he'd be a star. I even stated he had the ability to put up 20/4/8 one day, and he's close to this now. After last year I admit I had my doubts, but if he continues what he's doing now, he's an Allstar, and if he continues this beyond this year, he's a star. Props to Hayward to really working hard over the offseason, and showing team USA he shouldn't have been cut.

And one last thing. Parsons is no Hayward.

Love the no look high five (or low five) between Ingles and Snyder.

Wow, just finished watching the game.

I hate Carmello. Crazy how many touch fouls were called in the post against him and Burks couldn't even get a call on a couple of layup attempts where he got hacked, same with Favors. If any of our players knew how to flop we probably could have drawn 3-5 charging calls on him.

Hayward is a baller. Straight murked the Knicks teh whole game.

Burke is clutch. No denying that. Hopefully this gives him a spark.


Shane Larkin blows.

Well I agree with everything except the last comment. I thought Shane outplayed Burke up until the end of the game. Burke couldn't get by Larkin most of the night.

Hey it's fine you don't like trey... I'm not a huge fan either. But save the hate for another night.

Try to be less of a dick for now

right back at you, fish...

the point is, a lot of folks around here have been bad-mouthing Trey

that's not to say it can't all be forgotten when he hits a game winner at the buzzer - - but hitting that game winner does not erase the negative comments so many of you have made in various threads...

Solid game by Burke overall. Probably his best so far this season. But I don't understand why Kanter is in the doghouse. His D isn't THAT bad. It's not like Melo would have gone for 60 instead of 46.

If you notice the Knicks were playing small ball. It was just a poor match. Kanter played well when he was in.
