    Thank goodness I am not sure where the next one was coming from. The pressure build up was becoming immense and the schedule was brutal. We were terrifyingly close to becoming the lead story in the NBA and rivaling the Nets for most losses to start the season. The schedule does not have many breaks on it so great to get one tonight.
    Yeah it could be a while for the next one and now they are the only team without at least 2 wins!

    [QUOTE]Huge plays all night long from a ton of different players. The offense in the 4th quarter was terrific. The Jazz went small with Marvin Williams at the 4 and the offense clicked in. Marvin played 16 minutes of the second half and the Jazz shot 62% in the second half. In the 4th quarter the Jazz shot 12 of 17 and hit 4 of 6 from the three point line while nailing 10 of 12 free throws.

    At the same time having Marvin rotating and covering on the pick and roll made a huge difference. With 6 minutes left Corbin replaced Kanter with Favors and Favors played great defensive down the stretch and the Jazz playing small were able to clear the boards

    Richard Jefferson was awesome !!!! In the third quarter the Jazz were down 16 and Jefferson lite a fire under the Jazz and sent the message that they were going to battle this one to the end. Jefferson played an amazing third quarter, hitting shots, driving to the basket. Making plays. He was 1 for his last 18 from three and he hit big ones all 2nd half.

    A play that will never be talked about other than I am talking about it was with the Jazz up 5 Davis got a lay-up with :14 seconds left and Jefferson sprinted to inbound the ball before the Pelicans got set and got the ball into Hayward who hit the two free throws to win the game

    Rookie point guard Trey Burke continues to make progress in his recovery after surgery last month to repair a fractured index finger. Corbin said Burke has been able to dribble without discomfort.

    Chances are we may have seen the last of Tinsley on the court. Whatever he does and wherever he goes, Jazz fans hope the best for a player who gave what he could to the team the past three years. After all, once a Jazzman, always a Jazzman.
    It think he's still got a place in the league. Was a bad fit for the current Jazz.

    maybe this move isn't even about the quality of Diante or the ability of Jamaal. It's, rather, communication between GM Dennis Lindsey and head coach Tyrone Corbin. Corbin has not been playing Alec Burks or Ian Clark at the point guard spot enough during this limited time period where Trey Burke is hurt. Moving Tinsley removes the 14 mpg he was playing at the point guard spot and has to be filled with someone else.

    This season is supposed to be about development and discovery. And Lindsey could be sending a moneyball move to Ty -- if you don't play the guys you are supposed to play this year I will get rid of the players you perceive are better than them.
    LOL! Ty isn't the one that signed Lucas. They hadn't won a game and he's supposed to play Clark who looks like he sill be cut by January? They see Burks as a 2 so I understand them not wanting to play him at the one though he's the best option.

    As the most experienced player on the team, Jefferson took a strong stand in the ensuing timeout huddle.

    "There is no more 'Let's get it next time.' This is unacceptable! This is our time right now," he told his teammates, according to Hayward.

    Jefferson became the focal point of a dormant Utah offense in the third quarter and scored nine points in a 13-2 run.

    "He led us tonight. We followed his lead. He's been through it all over the years," Hayward said.

    The last time Jefferson scored 22 points was more than three years ago as a member of the San Antonio Spurs. But the young Jazz relied on the 12-year veteran, as well as the contributions of fellow "old-timer" Williams, who had 12 points and a key block on Holiday in the final minute.

    In the locker room
    What a difference a win can make. On Monday the Jazz locker room was silent and felt tight. Tonight players were loose and enjoyed getting their first win. Diante Garrett was the favorite, but players all over were relived. Gordon Hayward said of the win, "It's about time."
    "The young guys will eventually be great, but this team needs veterans. We need to take over in spots," Jefferson said.

    The Pelicans built the lead back to 10 before Hayward tied the game at 70 with his second 3-pointer during a burst of 10 straight points for the Jazz.

    Diante Garrett was set to play for Iowa of the D-League but arrived in Salt Lake City on Tuesday and ended up playing 22 minutes for the Jazz, who need a point guard while they await the debut of lottery pick Trey Burke.

    Burke is a few weeks from playing while recovering from a fractured finger. The Jazz released Jamaal Tinsley and benched John Lucas III after an 0-for-7 shooting start in the game.

    "I was shopping at Wal-Mart two nights ago when I got the call," said Garrett, who had seven points and five assists and was running the point in crunch time. "I haven't even had a practice yet but the coach was just drawing up plays on the white board in timeouts for me."

    His sense of relief at getting through his first game in Utah was only exceeded by his teammates getting their first taste of victory.

    "It's been tough to sleep at night as a member of the only NBA team without a win. I hate losing and maybe I'll finally sleep well tonight," Hayward said.

    NOTES: Two of the worst-shooting teams in the league combined to make more than half their attempts, with the Jazz shooting 51.4 percent. ... Hayward spent part of the first half with an ice bag on his shin following a collision in the first quarter. ... Greg Stiemsma sat out the game due to a left knee he sprained in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers. ... The final margin was Utah's largest lead of the game.

    All the pieces are falling into place for the worst record. Not sure their new pg was a good move though. He's already helped them to one win.
