Utah - Portland Game Thread.

I keep waiting for Favors to have a complete game.

He has a few putbacks, but where's the D today?

Shouldn't a big man be helping out somewhere?

Yup, we're thinking the same thing.

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.

No way. This is a back-to-back, remember? They won the first, so there's no way they win this one. But I hope I'm wrong. I'm a little behind on the DVR, btw, so I can't read much further. 79-79 all, right now where I'm at.

The defense in the 4th quarter is horrible.

 

[Sackataters]

Yo, Mo, how about some platelet spinning or something.

 

[Sackataters]

Marv was hotter than a pepper sprout. Corb sits him for 30 minutes and it is hard to get a rhythm. Shouldn't the rotation get tighter at some point. Demarre is good, as stated. But, who is under contract for next year.

 

[Sackataters]

There is the fork

 

[Sackataters]

Good grief..down 3, 39 to go.

 

[nuraman00]

Tinsley sets a screen for Foye.

96-99, 30+ secs.

I don't think Marv was going to make that much of a difference, but Jefferson probably should have been in for Millsap IMO.

I'm fine the minutes Kanter and Favors got, you got to give them a chance.

Unless he would have defended the interior, he probably wouldn't have made much of a difference. Especially since Foye was hitting 3's.

You can't give up 18 points to Hickson, and points to Nolan-Smith.

Jazz defense lost them the game.

I know they had a bad stretch of 4 minutes offensively, but all teams do that.

The defense was subpar after the 1st quarter.

 

[Sackataters]

My son is freaking out right now, over the call against Marv-LOL. I think he said retarded refs.

Maybe stopped some of the penetration though.

LOL. How old is he?

 

[Sackataters]

Well, I'm glad we didn't make the road trip for that one. Good chat though. Thanks.

He is 12 and is just fuming right now. I've taught him well.

Yeah, thanks for the game thread.

Too bad about the game. Oh well, next time.

Good. Keep him that way. I feel there are too many apathetic people here in Utah or those who have turned to the Dark Side (Lakers) or the Apparent Dark Side (Miami Heat).

Just by the eye test, despite both teams being of similar caliber, Portland's attendance seems stronger the past 1.5 years than Utah's.

 

[nuraman00]

Well, I know I talk a lot about Clintonite33, but all of his kids like going to games.

Jayswag does this thing when he's mad at the Jazz, he calls them "bastards" and stops watching them (only follows the scores), if he feels they're playing lethargic.
