It was one particular play. CJ is not hitting the step back fall-away. Taking the huge step backward and to the side. It's the cross pick and roll. Start in the 1-4 set. Pass to the wing, the big on that side cuts to the weak side block, conveniently hoping to get in the way of the big guarding the weak side big, who sprints over to set the pick for the wing. CJ tried to jump the defender by surprise, by going away from the pick. Defender wasn't fooled, so CJ went for the step back, with me saying no the second the ball hit the floor.

Are you talking about the 4th quarter shot he took? CJ's worst shot of the night was a semi-step back on the right key with Terry guarding him (I think). All I remember was thinking that CJ was too excited about shooting over Terry that he lost all sense. Like a YMCA guy shoots over a guy 4 inches shorter than him in the gym. That was a bad shot. But is that the shot you're talking about?

Looks like it. Don't remember another shot in that vicinity.

Which is why I was more than okay with starting the game double teaming, but once they started hitting the threes, and Hayward proved capable shutting Marion down, they should have gone away from double teaming, and they didn't really do that that much.

We're in total agreement. But Marion only posted on Hayward like 5 times total. The bigger problem with 3's had to do with guys who don't normally make those shots hitting them. Odom and Beaubois? Normally you pay those guys to shoot those. But tonight, they killed us.
 
Ugh, add Beaubois' name to a list of average players who for some reason kills the Jazz...sigh.
 
I know we lost by double digits, but I cannot help feeling the jazz played well and they were really in this game and there was a lot of positive may by them. Terry really did hit some crazily hard shots at times and the treys were daggers. It is hard to wait, but in a couple of years this team really should b good.
 
The Jazz offense was great this game. Hayward played great...he defended Marion really well.. Marion's been on a tear recently and Hayward got the matchup there.
The Mavs have Jazz's number on defense. They're able to get any shot on the Jazz and the Jazz had terrible rotations on D.
 
1. So sick of Beaubois. The name, that face, those moves.
2. A lot of talk before the game about "Taking it out on Dallas", was just that. Talk.
3. Hated our perfomance, and energy tonight.
4. Defense was hard to watch.
5. Sick of Burks not playing more mins. He has to get 10 mins a game.
6. Earl's had two bad games in a row. Feels strange to say.
7. It's hard to remember Howard being good. When was the last time he had a good game? With the injury, and last 2. Sigh.
8. We're going to take it out on the Kings tonight ;-)
