What's new

Utah Jazz vs. Brooklyn Nets, Sunday March 8, 6pm EST/8pm MST; Barclays Center, Brooklyn NY

Another team held to under 90 pts since the All-Star break.

With the way our defense was last season and to start this year, I always thought several players would have to have big nights in order for the Jazz to win. Now, I always think if we can just get to 90 points, the game is in the bag.
 
All the good?!?! Let's see...

Hi Tori Ellis. Throwing a basketball at then rookie Gordon Hayward. Being a dick to reporters who have a reputation for being easy on players. Quitting on his team. Oh, and running off the greatest coach this franchise has ever known.

Don't tell Jazzfanz who they can and can't boo. I'm a Jazz fan first. Every other player on every other team be damned.

I don't boo every former Jazz player just the ones that were douchebags and deron was one of the biggest. Don't get all high and mighty with me!!!

Random Thoughts from overseas (I just watched the tape).

Brooke Lopez beat up Gobert on the low post all night long, just a reminder that Gobert needs to still work on his strength.
Hayward is playing up to his contract, meanwhile most of the Nets roster is not.
The Nets commentators were fantastic!
Is it me, or has everyone forgot about Burks (I'm speaking about when people mention the core of the Jazz).
I feel like we have chemistry on the defensive end, but we are still painfully developing chemistry on the offensive end, especially when it comes to Burke, Hayward, and Exum feeding Gobert.
 
Dante is lightning quick when handling the ball, driving and attacking the rim but still can't finish. There is just no defense to stop that speed but he is weak now. Still looks like a 15 year old kid out there.
 
Gobert really had a hard time with Lopez, part of learning the game. He needs to start trying to score when he is left alone 15 feet away from the basket : he is given ample time and room to face up to the hoop. he should either go for the simple FT like shot or attack the rim for a running hook. Anyway, all this will come eventually : after suffering immensely against Lopez during the first half, he adjusted and was a lot more solid defensively in the second.

I noticed this as well. The Nets were daring him to shoot from the the free throw line, except for Plumlee. Plumlee fouled Gobert from behind the 3-point line.
 
It's a joy to watch since the [edited: Kanter] trade, eh?

Notes:

Joe looks pretty cooked lately. I wonder if Hood will get a shot in the starting lineup? Or, is he being groomed as Hayward's backup? (He seems to shoulder some of the same responsibilities when he's in and Hayward is out).

My respect for Burke has gone up dramatically. His acceptance of the bench role has been admirable. And effective.

I don't think Millsap gets enough credit as a reason for our culture change. He has been an important cog in the perimeter defensive schemes. I don't think we would have rounded this corner so effectively without him.

The chemistry developing between Hayward, Favors, and Gobert has the feelings of a CORE. It'll be very interesting to see how Burks fits in.
