Game 44: Brooklyn Nets ( 18-25 ) @ Utah Jazz ( 15-28 )

[KDBG]

Dante's passing has been sublime today... too bad the bigs haven't been able to finish most of those.

So damn fun to watch.

[Inigo Montoya]

As a recipient of a pass on a fast break, Trey should learn from Exum how it's done.

[KDBG]

I love how Dante is the exact opposite of Trey on the fast break. Dante knows where all of his options are, and can make quickly make a decision and make a precision pass. It's like watching a quarterback going through all of his progressions.

EDIT: Right as I say that, Trey makes a beautiful pass on the break to Hayward for the dunk.

Kanter is literally surprising his teammates with passes tonight...

Kanter is literally surprising his teammates with passes tonight...

And after the game people will once again point to his 0 assists and 2 turnovers.... He's not as bad of a passer as some people think.

[MeestR]

usually, when i get a chance to watch the games, i tend to prefer the opponents feeds. something about hearing the opposing announcers trying to be impartial and talk about the jazz that i like. but tonight, the nets feed didn't have the best picture. so i tried watching jazz's. i am pretty busy tonight and don't have much chance to actually sit down. but when i did, i found i liked this game more than i usually do. i thought maybe it was just because the jazz are on the good end of a blow out tonight?

but then i heard booner laugh. and i realized why tonight's jazz feed seemed better than usual.

Oh he is... he is a horrible passer with horrible on-court awareness... But TODAY I was absolutely happy with his passing. If he passes like that every game, believe me, nobody would be pointing to his passing as a fault...

[KDBG]

As many 3s as we drained tonight, I thought our defense was more impressive. We owned those passing lanes, and Brooklyn was having trouble getting clean passes off.

Kanter has had some good passes today for sure, but honestly, he hasn't passed like that in almost any other game.

Rudy: "Lately they don't go in the paint that much, they just shoot jumpshots, and it's pissing me off 'cause I want some blocks, but it's great for the team."

I'll give you the numbers that count and tell a story.... With Exum's 2nd and 3rd start...101 points and 108 points

Now does he look out of place ?

[EmperorLocky]

Exum looks awesome tonight. What a difference inserting him into the starting lineup makes. Makes sense that A) he's playing with better talent, and B) his confidence is sky high being in the starting lineup.

Spewing I had to miss the game today. I think this is the best option for Jazz and Exum getting him in the starting lineup. Glad to see Joe Ingles had a good game too.

Are you referring to my stats I posted or in general? I was just curious and provided what I found. Not trying to make a point. Or are you referring to those saying that Kanter has low assists and turns the ball over (but using Exum as your guide)? Or someone else altogether?

[FJS]

We have to enjoy our blowout wins... we don't have too many.

[tleikheen]

Moreso in a general context,its been 9 games since the Jazz won a game scoring over 100 points...now they have 2 in a row

In the west you're going nowhere if you can't score points ,contrary to standard beliefs,defense is good but doesn'
t win championships anymore .If defense wins then San Antonio's offense wouldn't have broken up the Miami Heat.

Yes, you're right, I scribbled something on a piece of paper and I think I attributed the wrong number to that. I think ESPN has a +/- 20 for him. So somewhere I made a mistake. The traditional way is to do it by a play by play on a box score recap, I was trying to do it on the computer while watching the game live and my daughters. I might go back and do it with a box score. If I have time.

Edit: I haven't gone through the play by play yet, but I think the discrepancy could be me attributing points by the opponent on free throws from a foul that occurred with Dante on the court (but the substitution was made before the FT being made). Then, add one more mistake somewhere.
