Utah - Portland Game Thread.

[nuraman00]

I think the Jazz are going to blow them out in the 3rd quarter. Portland is usually not a good rebounding team. I think they're going to allow 2nd chance points. Hickson is also the worst defender between both teams, IMO.

Is Millsap the most bullied player in the league? There will be blood.

Millsap seems to have lost his energy this year.

I think Marion plays harder than he does, despite being holder.

No assists from Jamal and 11 from the rest of the starters...odd.

 

[nuraman00]

Are you going to get THAT from Enes or Derrick?

Jefferson has a solid repertoire of finesse around the hoop. Kanter, Favors, can't say that.

Not even Aldridge.

Agreed. Millsap used to jump higher, dive, and dig....like the manimal from Denver. That energy is Sapped.

Tinsley is giving the ball up early in the clock. Hence the ball is working its way around and someone else is making the play.

Faried is a good comparison to how Millsap played his first few years. Except Faried is also a tougher defender.

That energy is Sapped.

LOL!

Keep watching Burks. I'm still not seeing PG potential. He'll have his chance with Earl and Mo hobbled. But, thus far, not seeing it.

I didn't even notice Burks in the game today.

Half time, flip over to ninja warrior.

 

[Sackataters]

Marv still hot

Foye is burning...might get a 3 point shoot out invite after this one.

He's looking like Ray Allen.

Dang, Lilard is a phenom. Jamal missed a couple at point blank tonight.

 

[Sackataters]

That was a sky walking block against Marvin. It's a ball game.

I thought he was better at the beginning of the year.

I think he's only been ok since then.

Well, he is making Jamal push his medic alert button right now...I've fallen and can't get up.

It's a team game, all 5 guys need to be there defensively.

 

[Sackataters]

Poor offense the last 4 tries. Shooting blanks. Settle down guys.

 

[nuraman00]

Disappointing game, I expected this to be blown open in the 3rd.

Bad play giving up the 3-point play to Aldridge.
