Jazz Can't Withstand The Sampage! Victory Cigar vs UTA 3/10

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Tue Mar 11, 2025 1:50 am

Omg you guys we won the super-ultra-mega-enormously-big game this is unbelievable woohoo!

Sam Hauser 33 points!! Jaylen Brown! Derrick White! Jrue Holiday! Other players!

Game was sloppy and sluggish in the 1st half, with Derrick and Jaylen doing cool stuff to spice things up now and then. Then Sam caught fire and hit 7 threes in the 3rd, and the C's opened up a huge lead and it was glorious. Then we completely sucked in the 4th lol, but made some big plays in the last couple minutes and got the win. Hooray!

Thunder Wednesday, Go C's!

(tweets aren't embedding/working tonight sorry! P.S. Luke rules!)

It's Luke Kornet's world, we're just living in it (even MrGreenRunsDeep).

The guy that made all those threes can get the consolation prize.

I'm voting for the two guys who got 3 offensive rebounds each and had 0 turnovers.

The choice of Hauser should require no explanation.
The choice of Kornet is because of the stupidity in the game thread.

SAM HAUSER coming out party. Man, did he win this game. Brown's aggressiveness on offense & defense was essential with Tatum, Horford and Porzingis out. Queta was phenomenal in limited minutes. I always liked Queta when he was in Utah. Holiday played better than his numbers, he impacted a bunch of key plays throughout the game. Jrue was essential for the win. Derrick White shot 6-16, but did make 3 3's along with 10 assists, 5 Rebounds and 3 Blocks. Torey Craig looked good, AGAIN. Kornet played better than he looked. Made a lot of nice screens to go with 8 Rebounds and 2-4 FG's.

An Alternative Perspective:

Pts. + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed Field Goals - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)

+28.5 Sam Hauser 35 minutes
+25 Jaylen Brown 38 minutes

+17.5 Derrick White 36 minutes
+14 Neemias Queta 17 minutes
+13 Jrue Holiday 31 minutes
+11 Luke Kornet 30 minutes
+5 Torey Craig 12 minutes

+4 Payton Pritchard 26 minutes
+1 Baylor Scheierman 12 minutes

Sam KING OF THE THIRD!! Shooting like he’s ready for the playoffs! Shot was wetter than liquid!! Smoother than butter!! Shot it like he had a rifle at the Olympics!! He was tossing them in like he was in the Cornhole Hall of Fame! Fire flames and hotter than fish grease!!!

Lakers had a big lead and ended up losing to the Nets.

Miami lost to Charlotte.

This is the NBA.

There are no free rides.

Only Celtic starter to shoot 50% was Luke.

This is not a good shooting night for the Cs.

So getting the win was huge.

It's now 13-4 for 60 wins.

Sam for the barrage, Jrue for the winning plays at the 4th
Brown can get a puff for forceful offense and the dunk on Kessler

Brilliant strategy by Joe to get reps generating a big lead AND get reps in the clutch.

Sam & Luke for me.

Annoying and extremely frustrating final quarter and sloppy overall performance.

Sammy smokes the Cigar.

I am honestly happier about the Lakers loss to the Nets than our win

Burn the tape and move on

Joe has to do a better job managing the playing time in the second half when you're missing that many starters.

I can't watch Queta fumble around for much longer.

Luke vs. Neemie

3-0 on offensive rebounds
2-0 on steals
0-3 on TOs

But Neemie did shoot better when he actually held onto the ball.

Where did we pick up this Hauser fellow? Could have used him earlier this season!

All that and he still looks like he really doesn’t feel that good

Looking at the schedule, only tough games left after the OKC game are at NY, at Sacramento, and at Memphis.

Cs should take advantage of this easy schedule to get 60 wins.

I missed it, what happened to Walsh? Starting vs OKC?

Denver had enough and didn't care if it's OKC, UFC, or KFC. :lol:

Who smokes the big cigar?
