Nice quality (both video and Matt's play)...

Matt Harpring's last 4 games.

2-8 from the field, 2-4 from the foul line, 1 assist, 3 rebounds, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls in just under 30 minutes!

You go Matt Harpring!

A bunch of nice assists from AK in this video. Don't get me wrong, Jozef. I like the toughness Matt brings, I love how he's one of the best off the ball players in the NBA. I wish Korver could get open shots the way Harp does. I love his offensive rebounding. The problem is he has one good game out of every 5. He had an amazing game this year so far and all the other games, he was mediocre to horrible. He doesn't have good hands, he misses a lot of layups and I swear he gets 1 offensive foul at least every game. The guy is a warrior, but IMO he usually hurts us as much as he helps. I think the cap space we could get for trading him would be just or more valuable as his contribution to the team right now.

Did Harp make this video himself?

i always thought a matt harpring highlight video would consist of only him making his of the screen turn around shot over and over again

No I think Matty boy just picked the song for the video! Ok I know Matty has not done much, but as you can see in the video he move around well in our offence and is still a good medium range shooter. Too many fouls though.

Is it just me, or was the music terrible?

That was Queen Duiz, Queen>>>Everything.

Millsap and Harpring himself also made nice passes - if you execute Jazz offense the right then it should be easy for everybody to make an assist.

According to 82games.com http://www.82games.com/0809/08UTA7.HTM Matt made 80% of his close shots which is absolutely great. His eFG% of .536 is great, his own "Net 48-Minute Production by Position" in PER is +14.1 and +2.1 so he definitely helps more than hurts. For every offensive foul he draws more fouls from opponent (they are +1.7 and +3.9 per 48 mins).

Nice video; thanks.

One question: why so few--if any--highlights on defense?

Probably because Harp's defense tells quite a different story. . . .

Good idea: Harpring stays in front of player who takes a jumper and miss it, a sound track from Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall".

That also could be Harpring missing layups.

jozef · Post #13 » by **jozef** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 2:33 pm

He is .800 on layups.

OMG why is this guy allowed to post? Matt Hapring sucks, absolutely sucks. Then to have a video of him played to Queen is embarrassing.

I dont wanna hear any stats or anything. Harpring is garbage, he has one decent game once ever 5 and one colossal game once every 30.

Jozef, your love of Harpring is unconditional.....and a little nauseating.

Hey I like Matt, the guy deserves at least one youtube video over his career. The guy has got a lot of heart, and makes a slow white guy like me have a small glimmer of hope that even I could make an NBA team. He is grossly overpaid and is getting old really quick, but he does well with what he has been given. I bet he also makes more layups than Sap...

Matt Harpring had a video on Youtube, it was off him betting kicked in the groin on a rebound by Andrei Kirilenko. And now that video is gone.

My favorite clip was of Matt shooting a free throw. And the music was perfect. Only thing better might have been some Barnum and Bailey circus music.

I especially like the line in the song about "defying the laws of gravity". Harp is very susceptible to the laws of gravity. Stephen Hawking has a higher vertical leap.

Can I get a video of Harpring's missed lay up. It was a perfect example of what Matt brings to the table.
