Panic Button Utah Jazz - Sacramento Kings Game Thread

[nuraman00]

The team that's 11th in defense has given up 21 points and it's midway through the 1st.

Jazz bench making a push.

Still don't think the defense has it tonight.

 

[nuraman00]

Rebounding is helping.

 

[nuraman00]

84-86, early in the 4th.

 

[nuraman00]

Gave up too many 3's tonight.

Rebounding in the 2nd half wasn't as good.

That was a brutal game to watch. Tonight's bounce back against the Knicks is encouraging though. Seems like we don't play well against teams with good offensive post players. You back to watching games now my friend (Nura)?

I was but then last night my schedule suddenly changed, lol. I'll be out for a few more days.

So if your theory is right, how do you like the chances against the Thunder? I know it was a bad game last time.

They don't have a big time scoring post player in Ibaka. He can have a decent game though. He's capable of being a top 2 option every now and then.

After the two Thunder games, it will be SA. It's now Leonard's team. Parker has slowed down. But Duncan can still rebound and pass from the post.

Tough games.

 

[Sackataters]

The next few games will be tough. I think the Jazz need to keep the offense simple, balanced with Derek and Gordon. OKC has too many big men to grind down Favors. We've got little out of any of our bench bigs. I'm not sure what to make of our money ball offense where 3s are sought after. I get it if you have shooters, but we don't, so it feels like mass jacking.

 

[Sackataters]

Getting hammered tonight against OKC. Durant and Westbrook came out like a buzz saw. We have been too timid in the post. Hayward keeping us in it along with Favors mid range game. Starting Hood, Neto, and Lyles is ridiculous bad. Alec is the only one trying to get into the paint, just might be time to start him regardless of how bad the bench is. We gotta play our best players together and hope. Our big rotation is thin, way more dire than I would have imagined going into the season. Booker is a shell of himself. Lyles is not ready. Withe playing a little better.

You going to any games this year? We are getting ready to visit family near SLC and may get a game in at Vivant

Maybe a playoffs game.

72-67, start of the 4th.

Burke made a 3 near the end of the 3rd.

What do you think of Lyles?

LOL.

The players are better at driving than shooting.

Agree, Derek and Gordon should be the focus.

 

[Sackataters]

Graphic showed we are 4th best team in nba from 3 and I cannot believe it. Guess I should embrace the circus too

 

[Sackataters]

Lyles, don't think he deserves to be starting, but we are way leaner than I thought in terms of bigs

 

[nuraman00]

Burks scores.

87-84.

 

[nuraman00]

Lyles, don't think he deserves to be starting, but we are way leaner than I thought in terms of bigs

Yeah. Right now he has to start.

After Rudy comes back, then no. He hasn't played well enough for more minutes either.

I heard something similar in Tuesday's broadcast.
