What's new

When does the damn game start? Utah Jazz (13-12) at Memphis Grizzlies (14-13), 9:30 p.m. (ET)

I gotta give some credit to Raja. He has been playing well lately.

10 points tonight isn't spectacular, but I will take a game like this from him any time. Maybe my expectations are too low.

He has also been a great mentor to Hayward. He helps with toughness on team
 
Hayward and Al were the men in the first half, Bell and Sap in the 2nd (though to be fair to Hayward and Al, they played well in both halfs).

The bench went from being goats into having a very solid 4th quarter. Was good to see.
 
everyone knows i dont like big al, but he played pretty good today, i dont care about his stats but he did his job. Well its normal he makes some stupid mistakes every game due to his low iq (like falling into those pump fakes every single time) but he did his job.

What i was thrilled was haywards performance, he seemed like pretty confident which was something he lacks at times. I hope its not only for this game but he continues his performance. He has a major importance for utahs future, as big as either kanter or favors. Because he is the only player who can be a leader in future and knows team play so good. Favors still has a lot of way to go to learn teamwork and kanter has a lot of things to learn as well

He could hear Chris Mullen stroking his ego in the background.
 
i didn't catch the game tonight. i saw favors only played 15:46 and kanter played 11:57. did they deserve more minutes than that?
 
And that is why I wouldn't trade Raja Bell for a Clippers 2nd round pick

It's comical at time the Bell hate. People complain that our 5th option can't create offense. What 5th option can? He does his job, rarely makes mistakes that cost the team (something you can't say about Howard, Miles, or Burks), hits open shots, keeps the offense running, and draws about 2-3 fouls per game off his cuts.

No, both had pretty poor in the 1st half. Kanter didn't play terrible, but he wasn't impacting the game. Favors played better in the 2nd half and played more.
 
That's a classic example of grinding out a win. Outside of Hayward it was ugly, ugly basketball by both teams (especially by Memphis) for most of the game but we kept playing hard, didn't get too jumpshot happy and in the 4th-qtr got some good looks at the basket. Nice win, now we need to capitalize on this momentum and not have a letdown tomorrow night against a bad Hornets team.

We've seen Al really struggle against length (Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Roy Hibbert) but he really played well against Marc Gasol tonight. If only we could get efficiency like that more consistently.

Jazz finally won on national tv!
Yup, now 1-4 on the year (I don't consider nbatv as national television either).

I was down on Raja for a while because he just threw up bricks.

But his shooting has improved and he is doing a lot of little things, so I am fine with him now.

I do wish we could get a better 2, but Burks could be that guy

I like Chris Mullen by the way. He has a lot of good insight and has a little humor to his commenting. He seems taken with our boy, Hayward. Hayward has been impressing me more and more every game. I hope this trajectory stays rising.

He is alright I guess. His voice kind of grates me at times, but he won me over a bit with his Hayward love.
