I liked the tribute video.

Thoughts, @MHSL82?

Press Your Luck game:

The fan went bankrupt, then got $20, then $500. He stopped, so he won $520.

The skills challenge game (forgot the name):

I was so disappointed that the fan didn't actually play the game. She elected the Jazz Bear to do the game.

The Jazz Bear dribbled around the 4 cones, then made the FT.

Then got the ball, and went the other length of the court, and missed the layup. He made it on the 2nd attempt.

I think he finished the course with 47 seconds left. Or maybe that's when the missed FT was.

Good 3rd quarter. Alexander-Walker having a impactful quarter.

 

[nuraman00]

BTW, a few games ago, when they did the golf game, the fan made the $100 putt.

Missed the $500 one.

Missed the $1000 one.

Missed the $2500 one.

Made the $5000 one.

Because the stream then went back to the broadcasters, I couldn't tell if it was cumulative or not.

So I don't know if the fan won $5000 or $5100.

 

[nuraman00]

84 - 88, end of the 3rd.

This was headed for a happy ending.

Now I don't know what the ending of this chapter will be.

 

[MHSL82]

Come on Conley and Beasley make one more shot each on one more attempt each and then every current Jazz player who shoots shoot above 50% after.

Qualtrics golf game!

The fan made the $100 putt.

The fan made the $250 putt.

The fan missed the $1000 putt.

The fan made the $2500 putt.

The fan missed the $5000 put so badly, that it never had a chance.

The stream again cut back the the broadcasters too quickly. So I couldn't tell if the fan won cumulative money or not.

 

[nuraman00]

Cavaliers have their first lead in a long time.

Timeout Jazz.

105 - 102, 3:30 left.

What was the Jazz final FG% for the 4th quarter alone?

Not sure I've ever seen a game where a team won a quarter with that low of a FG%.

Bad offense in the 4th.

Good foul shooting for the game.

Mitchell definitely was single-minded in some of his attempts, in the 4th.

Good interviews by Clarkson and Kessler.

And Mitchell.

For the first quarter, it was more Cleveland's defense. But for the 4th quarter, the Jazz just looked limited in what they tried to do.

I don't see the ball movement in years past. Then again, the team is different. Ingles, for example, is gone.

I do think the Jazz are more selective in their 3's this year. Not like past years, where they'd keep firing away.

 

[MHSL82]

Will Hardy, I think, said that he told his team to have a seven point possession.

I think our three-point shooting is down, but on fewer possessions and so therefore the damage of any lower percent is minimized? I have a ? question because I’m just guessing. I don’t know if we are efficient on threes. I just know game by game whether we did well. But I do like not shooting them just to shoot them, even though I didn’t make the observation you did since I’m not watching the games. I just see it on a play-by-play or box score.

That's what I thought would happen, too often, in past years.

Without looking at numbers, I agree with this logic.

I don't like seeing 3's that I know are going to clank, only to see the other team get the rebound and easy score.

Especially when the Jazz were not monster rebounders themselves.

Someone's grandmother went to her first Jazz game ever!

 

[nuraman00]

Not sure I've ever seen a game where a team won a quarter with that low of a FG%.

Utah shot 5-25 and lost the quarter, 30-28.

So I guess I still haven't seen a team shoot 20% and outscore the other team, for that quarter.

I would maybe look at some of the Lakers games where it was hack a Shaq but Shaq was making free throws. Because then the points of be high but the field goals would be low and maybe they shot poorly during that stretch but still fouled Shaq on purpose.
