Memphis Grizzlies - Utah Jazz Game Thread.

[Sackataters]

Thus far, just the Domination and Triceratops. My wife accidentally bought me another 6 pack of Domination. I managed to gag it down. Wasn't horrid, but wasn't great. Had a licking a battery after taste.

Think we are going to make the post season?

 

[Sackataters]

Hayward playing Prince well.

 

[Sackataters]

Whoa, great shot Mo.

 

[Sackataters]

Wow, bad finish.

 

[Sackataters]

Favors, 3 fouls. What's it going to take for him to stay out of trouble?

So far, once I said the schedule would get harder, the Jazz lost to every team better than them (Atlanta, Boston, Thunder, NY, etc.)

They have to win a few of those games, that remain.

Today's Memphis game would qualify as one such underdog game that they have to win.

A year of starting, probably. It's an adjustment.

Millsap eventually got it.

 

[nuraman00]

I should be able to post most of the 2nd half now.

 

[Sackataters]

Foye is not earning his keep at all lately.

 

[Sackataters]

I see Hayward as the perfect Robin...just needs a Batman to run with.

 

[Sackataters]

Do you think Horny would be an upgrade at head coach? He can at least speak English and communicate. I don't hate Corbin. I just don't think he's intelligent enough to be a head coach.

Yeah, there needs to be a top 30 NBA type player to play with him.

 

[nuraman00]

Only thing holding me back on Hayward, is that he has to do this for a few years. It's one thing to have one good season, but can he keep it up? Guys like Josh Howard, Rashard Lewis looked good for 2-3 years, then lost it.

 

[Sackataters]

That didn't look like a push to me by Randolph.

It's worth a shot.

Right now though, I think the lack of overall talent is the biggest factor.

The Jazz surprised teams last year, but there's been hundreds of teams in sports that couldn't follow it up the next year. That's not to say it's because they're complacent, but just because sometimes age catches up, or injuries, or whatever.

Most of these players, I don't think they'd be any better on another team. So I think a lot of them just appear to be on the downside, IMO.

Mo and Hayward could compliment each other okay next year if we can't get a PG. Mo a combo guard, and Gordon can definitely pass.

 

[nuraman00]

Dang, it looked like the Jazz were playing great defense, than Bayless found an opening.

That kind of stuff has been happening all season.

I don't have an answer why, it just seems to be happening though.

I think Mo is better as a backup though, I don't think he can do enough to start.

I hear ya. He has even been erratic this year.
