Boston Celtics - Utah Jazz Game Thread.

And I've said this before, but the Jazz just play poorly on the road.

Most teams don't play that differently home or road, but the Jazz play differently. It's not just the losses, it's the way they play. Has been like that for years.

 

[nuraman00]

Nice moves by Hayward in the paint.

 

[nuraman00]

Hayward for 3.

82-81.

GS got an easier road too I think. I watched them eek out the win against the Wolves. That hurt us.

 

[Sackataters]

Our PGs have more TOs than assists tonight.

 

[nuraman00]

Boston is melting.

 

[nuraman00]

Our PGs have more TOs than assists tonight.

But there's 20 assists as a team.

Which means everyone is sharing.

You like this lineup?

You like this lineup?

Might be the best defensive one we have.

 

[Sackataters]

We wilt when teams body us up normally. Nice shot from Carroll.

 

[Sackataters]

Is that 5 fouls on Sexual?

 

[Sackataters]

Start Hayward? He is showing differently now.

 

[nuraman00]

Might be the best defensive one we have.

I do right now. The rebounding and stops are really good.

 

[nuraman00]

Start Hayward? He is showing differently now.

Yes.

 

[nuraman00]

We wilt when teams body us up normally. Nice shot from Carroll.

I think the bigger problem defensively is that stopping ball movement. It seems like one screen or one pass and the opposing team will have a good shot.

Rotations aren't good enough, I think.

 

[Sackataters]

So can you envision a starting lineup that looks like this next year? I'm not sure Al can be had on the cheap. Paul might though.

 

[nuraman00]

NOW 5 fouls on Favors.

 

[Sackataters]

And Favors fouls too much, so need a competent 3rd big.

 

[nuraman00]

So can you envision a starting lineup that looks like this next year? I'm not sure Al can be had on the cheap. Paul might though.

Neither will be cheap. I think I posted this in another thread.

Millsap is underpaid right now, for the market.

Don't really want to speculate until the offseason, and when we see what frontcourt the Jazz end up with.

 

[Sackataters]

Do we miss more point blank shots than any team out there!
