Game 24: Utah Jazz (13-10) @ Indiana Pacers (16-7)

well the problem is if Al drops fifty the guy hes defending gets 75.

This exactly.

Big Al ball has not and never will be winning ball. It's funny too, as much as people say we are nothing without him, we've looked pretty damn good most of the time he isn't on the court.

[meat tray]

Wtf was that? No attempt at a 3? Genius.

Down 5 with 10 seconds to go: dump it in to Al.

Good job, Ty.

I guess that's why he doesn't call timeouts at the end of games...

[phrizzo]

oh man i am so excited about enes kanter

in a few years, he's basically going to be kevin love with defense (and maybe no 3-point range)

what a pick!

[SLC Biz]

I'm higher on Kanter than even Favors.

[PimpHandStrong]

Yeah only big left playing D is Kanter. sap, jefferson, and jefferson jr.(D favors) have all stop playing any kind of defense soon they might stop rebounding at all.

Did you miss Paul's D on West and Hansbrough tonight (and his good team and transition work)?

[carrottop12]

Kanter was awesome tonight. Really rebounded well, hit some good shots, and actually shot well despite being stuck with bad shots with the clock running out.

He's going to be a stud.

[Reckless]

Its sad but I hope Jefferson and Harris blow out their knees! It would improve the team.

It has come to this. Anyone who thinks Al Jefferson is a good NBA basketball needs to watch the end of this game.

Harris got torched on defense and had another so-so offensive game.

Paul played well this game. But over all I can confidently say at this point in time any chump PG can drive into the lane and score on us because our bigs will just move out of the way and watch. I can also say man on man defense over all any skilled big can back down into the paint for a 5 foot shot. I say kanter is playing defense because he is actually establishing position ahead of time pushing guys out ,disrupting the pass. He actually works to keep people out of the paint so now you actually have room to switch and pick up a guard to prevent a layup. Any how I see your point on Saps game tonight.

[phrizzo]

Millsap needs to be the go-to guy in crunch time when he is shooting well (5-7 tonight) or Hayward needs to be out there making plays for other people. We had a lot of success at the end of last year and a few times this year running a pick and roll with Hayward and Favors on the wing. I can't say for certain what was going on tonight.

[galatasaray]

i am very dissappointed by all your comments here , we play in last 2 games similar this comments

team needs a good pointguard ( who score 15 and more points and 7 asist ) and a shooter ( korver-redick-stojakovic type ) thats all

jefferson and harris must go

You guys just need to hang in there.. You have 2 expirings after this year that could be moved more easily and a ton of young talent and in honesty it reminds me a lot of the Pacers.

Young developing talent that will grow to make them competitors in the West. In 2 years I see the Jazz surpassing most teams in the West so just be patient.
