GT: Jazz (0-4) @ Celtics (0-4) 11/6/2013 - The tank battle

[b1imtf]

Our first win?

[mrpibb]

No excuse for both of them being on the team other than the tank. They are both 3rd pg's at best.

Their purpose of their being on the team is to make sure that Trey Burke is the best point guard on the team. They could have brought in Luke Ridnour, but Ridnour's better than Burke at this time in their careers; Ty obviously needs to start Burke, but starting a worse player over another doesn't sit right with the locker room.

I kind of got mad at Ty during that run, but looking back it was just Kanter and Favors missing shots. Hayward only attempted two shots in the second quarter.

EDIT: Richard Jefferson, I appreciate you.

Kanter, Hayward, Favors, and Burks are solid players. But there is absolutely NOBODY else on this team that is worth a damn besides Rush, and Marvin Williams who have been hurt. Richard Jefferson sometimes shows up, but hardly. Lucas and Tinsley shouldn't even be back-ups in this league.

Although it is probably a good thing we can get a great pick in the draft.

[mrpibb]

Richard Jefferson has shown up more than Derrick Favors has this year.

In b4 Celtics blow this lead and lose.

That's not possible. The way you come back from a 20 point deficit is by cutting it down to something like 10 by the beginning of the 4th quarter. We cannot outscore the Celtics by 22 in 12 minutes.

EDIT: The Jazz are shooting a better percentage than the Celtics and losing by 13.

Olynyk sucks

Olynyk sucks

He was a beast tonight and is the reason you will win. This post sucks.

EDIT: Now Ian Clark? That dude is bad.

EDIT #2:

Development of the Core Four (update):

A. Burks: 8 pts (4-9 FG), 4 reb, 0 ast, 1 stl, 4 to, 0 pf [+6 in 22 min]
G. Hayward: 28 pts (12-20 FG), 9 reb, 5 ast, 1 stl, 2 to, 3 pf [-1 in 39 min]
D. Favors: 10 pts (4-10 FG), 14 reb, 1 ast, 3 blk, 3 to, 4 pf [-12 in 34 min]
E. Kanter: 22 pts (9-14 FG), 8 reb, 0 ast, 0 to, 2 pf [-4 in 22 min]

David Locke noticed that Alec Burks is terrible in the first quarter of games. Ty should really consider only playing this guy in the second half.

Hayward is a player. He didn't shoot enough, frankly.

This was a needed game for Favors. He needed to have a bad, frustrating game where he can't get subbed out for Millsap or Jefferson. He made some strides but eventually lost his cool with his fourth foul.

Kanter is a put-back machine, but he needs to crash the boards that don't lead to his scoring--namely, defensive.

I watch him play every night and the guy is far from a beast. He chucks and misses open shots in the pain. Don't bite into the "hype"

Thanks for the Neg btw.

First win.. and it was excruciating to watch.

It's going to be a long season

[El Kabong]

Well that was terrible. Hopefully Rush and Williams are back full time soon so I don't have to see Mike Harris as much.

Won't be winning any games soon with that many turnovers either.

You're welcome. The game was won when Olynyk took Faverani's job. Remember those first six minutes? That's when Faverani played. You know the rest of the game? That's when Faverani didn't play.

Olynyk sucks

Are you going to stop picking on a player you don't like?

Their purpose of their being on the team is to make sure that Trey Burke is the best point guard on the team. They could have brought in Luke Ridnour, but Ridnour's better than Burke at this time in their careers; Ty obviously needs to start Burke, but starting a worse player over another doesn't sit right with the locker room.

That's the biggest problem with it. Burke looked like a D-leaguer. Neto looked better. He wanted to come over. But they would have looked bad if their late 2nd rounder was better than their lottery pick they traded up for.

there is absolutely NOBODY else on this team that is worth a damn besides Rush, and Marvin Williams who have been hurt. Richard Jefferson sometimes shows up, but hardly.

Marvin sucks! I'll take Jefferson or Harris over him any day of the week. Biedrins can rebound and block shots. Evans with a jumper could be a legitimate bench player. Gobert is raw but looks like he will be a player. They have no NBA pg other than Burks who belongs in a NBA rotation. That is their biggest problem.

Lucas and Tinsley shouldn't even be back-ups in this league.

3rd stringers. 2 of them with a D-leaguer in Burke. Obvious tank.

Richard Jefferson has shown up more than Derrick Favors has this year.

Yep. Not surprising really. Favors hasn't progressed since he's been in the league.

Now Ian Clark? That dude is bad.

The good news is his contract is only guranteed for the first couple months so he'll probably be gone unless he shows them something before than. Ideally him and Gobert will be in the D-league if they get healthy.

Hayward with 2 nice games in a row. Nice to see. He's started slowly every year of his career.

David Locke noticed that Alec Burks is terrible in the first quarter of games. Ty should really consider only playing this guy in the second half.

He's got to learn. That's what this year's supposed to be about.

Hayward is a player. He didn't shoot enough, frankly.

That's not really his game. He'll be at his best filling the box score. Kanter and Burks are more natural scorers.

This was a needed game for Favors. He needed to have a bad, frustrating game where he can't get subbed out for Millsap or Jefferson. He made some strides but eventually lost his cool with his fourth foul.

Love to have Millsap in a 3 man rotation with him and Kanter personally.

Kanter is a put-back machine, but he needs to crash the boards that don't lead to his scoring--namely, defensive.

It will come. The guy has continued to improve since they got him.
