Game 56: Houston Rockets (35-20) @ Utah Jazz (36-19)

This is the last regular season game against the Rockets (only 3 this season) and we are tied at 1-1. This game could have serious seeding implications.

Tell me Houston is going to cool down beyond the arc or otherwise another "turn if off" third quarter viewing experience. Early Morgan showing - that's interesting. I sense the staff like him.

JC is such a great athlete...sheesh. Wish Mitchell had that.

I''ll keep entertaining myself here. Clarkson >>Bogie. Zone working? Who says Q has no tricks up his sleeve?

Mitchell not athletic??? JC has what, 6 inches on Mitchell though?

Get the ball out of Mitchell and Bogeys hand.

Mitchell cannot jump off one one foot. Severely restricts his ability to challenge defenders at the rim. He can't attack fluidly and has to set his feet up first, which is why Mitchell is horrible in transition and doesn't get FT's. DM can beat JC in a dunk contest when he's loading off of two feet, but JC has much more usable athleticism.

At least Snyder hasn't put Bradley in, he would be a huge liability in this game...... SO, that's something positive.....

And Clarkson, man can he score......

This is why I'm low on Bradley. There's no chance he can play in a playoff series. He can play well sometimes against bad backup C's, but he's unplayable against any team that chooses to attack him. Quin needs to go to Davis or Morgan...they at least have a chance of being playable.

Overall it was a good half. Hopefully the shooting will flip.

I feel good about the Jazz chances to win this game.

Not surprised Clarkson is going nuts without rim protection. Love him, think he's every bit as good as Zach Lavine/Buddy Hield/Evan Fournier (that second tier of shooting guards).

4 turnovers already. Literally giving the game away.

Memo!

When you can't get the ball in bounds, you got issues, lol.....

We need to figure out how to get open against switching defenses. Rudy needs to slip the screen or something, act before the switch can happen.

This isn't a blowout (yet), but it really is miserable to watch the starters play. They have no heart. Freely giving the ball without a care in the world. Not even trying on defense either.

babyjax13 · Post #19 » by **babyjax13** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 3:38 am

Uh, why is Donovan going to the lockerroom? ....

babyjax13 · Post #20 » by **babyjax13** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 3:40 am

There we go, split the screen, gotta act as the switch is engaging.
