Versus Clippers

[MHSL82]

That's game right there

Yeah, I don't see it tonight. Now it'll screw with Hollinger's rankings. Right before we were to get rid of the 45 point loss to the Rockets (Hollinger values the last 25 point-spread highly), we'll have this.

 

[MHSL82]

We don't need threes! We need to make our twos and free-throws and stop them.

Paul screams before he's hit. He got hit, but the yell was before that. He was basically telling the refs, call this!

I wish we could have traded him and Bell for someone. hat do you think happens to Bell after this year? Does someone else sign him? Does he retire? Does he have to wait until late, when no options are available, to sign elsewhere. I liked Bell, but his difficulty makes me wish that he somehow pays for it.

Thanks, let him rot at home for this year at least. He's not worth the money. He's being paid two million, now prorated, that's 600 K left. Keep him. Don't even let him leave after the Lakers are eliminated. I don't want them to have some more ability to resign their own. Though I'm not sure if he'd still diss Kobe.

How did we get here? Did he just not like his minutes or how we played him or was he just a dick? (I know, not mutually exclusive.)

Clips started playing physical in the third and the Jazz don't do well when teams start pushing them around. Kanter 4 stitches. Burks swatted to the ground. Millsap always is getting a laceration stitched. I can't remember seeing a jazz man put a good lick on someone in recent memory.

I think he just called Corbin out on his substitutions. Got pissed because he wasn't necessarily getting the old Jerry Sloan vet preference.

 

[Sackataters]

These refs didn't call a good game.

 

[MHSL82]

If we didn't hit Odom, he would have missed that one.

Ha, same with Kanter's shot.

I wonder how pissed Kobe is with Stern for blocking the Paul trade to the Lakers. If that had happened, I think the Lakers would switch with the Clippers in the standings. OKC and Spurs would still be higher, IMO, but I wouldn't be surprised if not. Paul later claims he didn't want to go there but I don't know if that's true. He said that he didn't want to live where the Lakers do. Nash helps a little, but it seems like he's not the same, despite having the same coach as before and better targets (at least two or three of them). His style of play doesn't seem to rely on that, though.

 

[Sackataters]

Shaking my head. I think I'm with Harpring though, it is time Marvin gets benched. Can't have 3 starters that are virtually null on offense. Start Hayward.

 

[MHSL82]

Looking good... understood. Stuck in my head.

Thanks for the info. I just knew once he wasn't there. Must be great to make 2 million for doing nothing. Nice vacation time.

 

[Sackataters]

Maybe just bench Marvin ... Maybe he won't take his player option and well save 8 million.

Yes! That'd be thinking out of the box. We could play it this way and benefit with more cap. Hopefully he didn't learn from Raja Bell. 8 million to sit at home? Sign me up!

 

[MHSL82]

If we had traded Marvin Williams somewhere, Devin Harris could turn into someone who helps this team (whoever we traded for). Right now with Mo's injury, I'd rather have Devin Harris. The question is, would you want Harris over Tinsley or Watson? Or just keep Watson?

The Jazz' remaining schedule is also a big factor. They have one of the 5 hardest schedules remaining. As seen with the Boston game, just because it's at home, it doesn't mean it's a win.

And it shouldn't be that easy either. They have to earn it.

The Jazz still have 43 projected wins, more than the projected 9th seed.

Houston had the hardest schedule in the league to this point, which means theirs is easy going forward. That's a bigger factor in their projected success, than home/road games.

Golden State is also projected to drop to 7th, due to several factors. (Schedule, point differential, etc.)
