Wating for Marc to take no less than 16 shots (hopefully coming from the post). This year (2015) his taking 12 a game, like last season... thats why our offense sucks again (and most of them where jump shots). Hes taking 5 free t. this year... until december he was taking 6.5 :banghead:

Hope for better substitutions too :roll:

Rudy Gobert has really become a force in the lane so unless Utah cross matches and have Gobert guarding Zach, it will be unlikely Marc tempts his fate by attempting too many shots in the paint.

It will be interesting to see how the starters perform with the recent scrutiny and if any personnel changes will be made to the lineup.

He has some moves in the post, sky hoop, roll - one step back and shoot, some fakes... come on, he can put Gobert in foul trouble. That way, he makes the offense easier for others.

Gobert has the tendency to get in foul trouble as he tries to block everything, though sometimes he seems to be wary of it, and doesn't leave his feet so much. We'll see what Gobert shows up. Should be a fun game, Jazz are playing very well of late, 6-2 in their last 8, 17-16 in their last 33. Jazz have been an elite defensive team for the last 2 months, so it should be a competitive game I think. :-)

The Jazz have been on a tear as of late becoming tougher on the defensive end. To me, this will be a good test for the Grizzlies in terms of how will they adjust against a team like the Jazz and take advantage of their deficiencies in order to come away with a win tonight.

UNINSPIRED EFFORT
We are so non-athletic with no shooters, which is a recipe for playoff heartbreak

Rudy Gobert 15 points 25 rebounds

27th pick in the draft, what a steal

i believe in this team, i dont trust in our coaching staff. We need X´s and O´s. We dont have superstars, we need to run better plays, move the ball... the offense is the same that Hollins used, it is so innocent and boring :noway:

This guy will be a force to reckon with in this league for years to come. He made our past defense look like what the 76ers play like in this matchup. :nonono:
