Davis and Favors are day to day.

I predict Burke, Burks and Kanter are all going to get caught flat footed checking out Babbit's hair at least once during the game.

holiday will look like an all star in front of the new orleans crowd... all twenty of them.

(ahh.. I'm sorry I shouldn't be so negative...)

just a frustrated fan like the rest of us. I have little confidence we win even with AD not playing.

question do you guys have faith in coach snyder? i was iffy on the hire in the first place, we play no defense and because of that this will be a really long road trip.

i am optimistic when AD is out, because they are kind of an inconsistent team. the big question will be: Who is going to stop Ryan Anderson, if he gets hot? in Davis' absence he will get a lot of shots.

Davis is likely to return....

Unfortunately (because it means the team sucks) I think I'm firmly in "DVR and watch it in an hour" territory now with this team. I'm not sure if that's good or bad news for the game threads.

That is the only way to go... even with a good team.

Snyder: "K change of plan... don't give the ball to trey, keep it out of his hands, don't let him shoot it.. if he tries to shoot BLOCK IT."

Ok I lied. Looks like I'm watching at least some of this live. Sorry.

Hayward is a better point guard than Trey Burke.

Those bounce passes to Gobert's shins never get old.

Trey is scoring, but once again I really don't like his game management or his passing. Passes to Gobert's legs and turns it over, then doesn't pass it to Gobert high enough and turns it over. Get caught in the air trying to shoot and manages to bail himself out by passing to Gobert, just to shoot is 2 seconds later when he gets the ball back. Other players aren't involved. Then he sticks Kanter with 5 seconds to shoot behind the 3pt line and guarded, forcing him to take a bad shot. :banghead:

Beautiful sequence there with Hayward to Gobert to Kanter.

Post #17 » by **StocktonShorts** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 1:25 am

This is the showcase Trey game Dennis Lindsey has been waiting for.

And Burke's hot first quarter probably means he'll shoot the Jazz out of the game later.

They are reporting aftershocks around NO after that Kanter dunk.

Post #19 » by **StocktonShorts** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 1:48 am

Has Trey thrown a good pass yet in this game?

You know the future ain't too bright for you when Jimmer can contain your penetration on defense.
