Odom and Marion killed the Jazz with the 3-man post-up.
It's a great thing that Howard is back because he might defend that post up better.
 
Sweet game post. The mavs will play zone and the Jazz will continue to airball from the outside. Once again Raja, Miles, and Hayward will get lit up on this forum. Harris goes 3-11. I hope I am terribly wrong.
 
Easy loss.

Why Jazz dancers are so ... uninspiring? Is there a lack of pretty girls in SLC or what? They figuratively suck.
 
I'm curious to see what team comes out to play tonight. There was talk after the Raptors loss about "taking it out on Dallas". Well, words are
nice, but action is better. While a victory would erase the sour taste of the 2OT loss, just playing well will be ok for me. I want to see us hang with the
world champs in their arena. There are moral victories on the road.
 
Well having a hard time finding good pics of the Jazz dancers in the high sock referee outfits but lets see if we can't get better representation:

very good game thread. Made laugh a little.
repped.
 
If the jazz want to win, Favors or Kanter need to step up and play at a higher level. They haven't been playing bad, and for their age I haven't been disappointed. However, without Jefferson we are lacking a vital piece of offensive weaponry.

Harris needs to attack the board like he did in the first quarter of the last game. For that matter, CJ and Hayward need to as well.

Howard didn't look good in his first game back. Lets hope that he has his legs back under him for this game and can play a little better.

IMO, the jazz have played their best ball in up tempo situations and should try and push the court a lot tonight.
 
Dirk is out? ****. Maybe Favors will throw another stray ball that lands right behing the dallas bench and straightens out Dirks face.
