Enes get hurt?

Murray will have to a lot better than that I'd think if he wants to stay with the Jazz into the New Year.
[QUOTE]After a somewhat listless performance against the Indiana Pacers, followed by a hard-to-stomach loss versus the Atlanta Hawks (after having a big lead), losing Friday
[QUOTE]Anthony, who had a handful of different Jazz players (but mostly Hayward) defend him, scored 46 points. [/QUOTE]
Is G a two way player or not?
[QUOTE]His most memorable points came on a deep 3-pointer over the 6-foot-10 Favors with 2.3 seconds remaining to tie the game.

[QUOTE]Shumpert was hurt when Jazz center Enes Kanter banged into him on a drive to the basket. [/QUOTE]
Enes with the big play of the game! I imagine Shumpert would have spent time on G and Burke and given them a little more offense.
[QUOTE]With Amare Stoudemire sitting out to rest, it left the NBA's No. 29 team in points per game without its Nos. 2 and 3 scorers. Shumpert was averaging 13.8 points and Stoudemire 10.9.

Jazz: Rookie Rodney Hood tested out his right foot at the morning shootaround before being ruled out for a fourth straight game because of plantar fasciitis. ... [/QUOTE]
sounds like he might be getting close. I'd send him to the D-league when he's ready to play. Let him get it going down there and bring him back up to help out later. Exum looking like he could use it too. Clark if he's not going to play. Too much D-league talent unfortunately.
[QUOTE]Coach Quin Snyder said Toure Murry, a former Knicks guard who was assigned to Idaho of the NBA Development League on Thursday, needed the opportunity to get more work. He hasn't appeared in a game this season for the Jazz.[/QUOTE]
Needs to prove he's a D-leeaguer at least if the Jazz are going to keep him.
[QUOTE]Knicks: Coach Derek Fisher said the decision to rest Stoudemire was in part because of a quick turnaround, with the Knicks playing again Sunday afternoon. It was the first game Stoudemire missed this season, and Fisher said it was part of a plan the team hopes will have Stoudemire available for 70 or more games.[/QUOTE]
Not even a back to back? Can you say tank?

Jazz: Visit Toronto on Saturday.
Knicks: Host Denver on Sunday.

[QUOTE]How fun is this season?[/QUOTE]
Tanking! :wtf:
[QUOTE]A game after a meltdown down the stretch the Jazz got better. The Jazz were down 5 and proceeded to score on 7 straight possession. What a contrast from the night prior.
Trey Burke hit the game winner and it was awesome but the story of the night was Gordon Hayward going head to head with Carmelo Anthony and holding his own. He held his own matching the games best scorer bucket for bucket. He didn
[QUOTE]David Thrope, a development expert, has been ranking rookies for years now for the Worldwide leader. And the top of the rookie rankings so far this season list our very own Dante Exum as #1. Clearly it was his potential that dazzled so many teams, and made it a no-brainer for the Utah Jazz to snatch him up when he fell to #5.
Check out the full ESPN Insider article here, but this is a small excerpt to whet your appetite.
1. Dante Exum, Jazz
We saw Exum's "it" factor in summer league and he has been terrific this season, showing the ability to make both simple passes and tough ones (when required) to teammates for easy shots. He makes hard drives and dishes for 3s or dunks. He delivers lobs. He leads fast breaks, which result in wide-open scoring chances. And, most impressively, he finds open shooters far away from the action.
He's doing this with very few mental errors, too, while also managing the game. Exum is playing like someone who deserved to be drafted first overall.
- David Thorpe, ESPN, 2014[/QUOTE]
I guess this was written before the last 3 games?
[QUOTE]Jabari Parker is #3, K.J. McDaniels is #4, Elfrid Payton is #5, Aaron Gordon is #6, last year's big man Nerlens Noel is #7, and Andrew Wiggins comes in at #8. It's a 20 player list, and the breakdowns are worth breaking down and buying Insider access for. Especially since Rodney Hood makes the list at #14, and I think it would be unethical for me to copy and paste what Thorpe says about him too.[/QUOTE]
Looking like an overrated draft. Hood and Exum both look like D-leaguers. You have to be able to bring it every night.
[QUOTE]Granted, a lot of rooks have started slowly this season, so this isn't purely a numbers game right now. Though it could be in the future as the season goes on. But it's nice to see Dante get the pub early, he came into the league with a lot of momentum. Pre-draft national TV ads. He made a big splash in Vegas on his first scoring play. But since then you haven't heard a lot about him -- unless you are among that crazy Top 5% of the NBA audience, or are a Jazz fan.
Oh, and for what it's worth, Marcus Smart is last on this list. Yup. Eat it, Bill Simmons.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Burke had his best game of the season. Much has been said about his struggles, some coming from yours truly. And yes, he has really struggled. But on Friday, he played with the poise and demeanor that impressed during large portions of his first year. [/QUOTE]
Not sure about large portions.
[QUOTE]He orchestrated the offense and made things happen within the game. Burke was 5-9 from the floor, including a trio of 3-pointers. He dished out eight assists with just a pair of turnovers1. Lastly, he registered a team-best +16 mark. While that stat has its flaws, it shows a glimpse into a player
[QUOTE]The Jazz stuck with the Raptors for much of the game. With this being the fifth of a five-game road series, that in itself is a positive.[/QUOTE]
They played a lot better than I expected. Probably the best they've played before the terrible finish and G didn't look to have a lot of energy from supposedly being sick.
[QUOTE]Utah had a nice 2-3 showing. It won a pair of close outings in Detroit and New York and almost nabbed two more victories versus Indiana and Atlanta, but fell short.[/QUOTE]
Those losses hurt. Should have won them. That's the difference between being good and sucking.
[QUOTE]There is still a lot of room for improvement, but signs are encouraging for head coach Quin Snyder and his faithful band of followers.[/QUOTE]
Haven't been that impressed. The D sucks bad still.
[QUOTE]Grading the performance: Utah started out looking sharp. It was playing with the pass, with most of its baskets coming off assists. The Jazz shot well, but could not sustain it. The game served as a reminder that this is an up and coming team that has a lot of areas to address.
Utah Jazz grade: C+
After 10 games, the Toronto Raptors are looking like one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. [/QUOTE]
As expected and not saying much.
[QUOTE]As they showed against Utah, Toronto has a solid blend of offensive ability, defensive attitude and veteran depth. Thanks to its strong bench, it is able to go at its opponents all night. All in all, there appears to be a contending team in Canada.[/QUOTE]
Contending for what?
[QUOTE]Toronto Raptors grade: B+
Three telling stats:
[QUOTE]Rodney Hood woke up the morning of the Jazz-Mavericks game a week and a half ago, and something just wasn
[QUOTE]Big men Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter each scored 18 points, shooting guard Alec Burks notched 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Burke chipped in 12 points and five assists.[/QUOTE]
The bigs need to hit the boards too.
[QUOTE]Hayward finished with 10 points but only took 10 shots while dishing out five assists.
“He’s a tough guy, you know,” Booker said. “We know he wanted to be on the court with us and fighting with us. We know we can count on him.”
Bench players Rudy Gobert, Dante Exum, Joe Ingles and Booker also had good moments for a progressing team that is currently playing better than its 4-7 record would indicate.[/QUOTE]
You think? I don't see it. Their schedule has been favorable if you look close. They've beat teams that were coming off a game the night before and 4 shitty eastern teams on this trip. The D sucks. The bench is too young and inexperienced. They aren't very good shooters. Do they have an NBA ready pg? Look like the same old Jazz to me. If they'd put together a roster to compete they might be on to something but they haven't. Imagine if Millsap was in the mix.
[QUOTE]“If you look at the game and three-and-a-half quarters, you’ve got to feel there were some really good things,” Snyder said of the Jazz. He then turned his focus on the Raptors, who shot 51 percent and scored 35 in the fourth, saying, “That’s a very good team. They’re difficult to defend when they get it going.”
The Jazz flew back from Canada after Saturday’s setback, will take it easy Sunday, hit the practice court again Monday and play their first home game in awhile Tuesday against Oklahoma City.
“It will be good to go home and play there,” Ingles said.
For some, it was good to go home and sleep, too.

[QUOTE]what Casey saw as he watched Hayward and the Jazz play at Madison Square Garden caught him by surprise.
"If you had told me a year ago he was going to be guarding Carmelo Anthony in the post, I would have thought you were on drugs or something," Casey said prior to Saturday night
[QUOTE]Still, Hood believes his development has continued despite the injury.
