Also, anyone else think that the Lakers

“league best defense” is more a product of them just not getting called for fouls rather than them actually being a good defensive team?

They are very good at controlling the pace

Which plays a big part in defensive rating.

Luckily tonight the Lakers didn’t hit as many shots, and the Jazz capitalised on their FB chances.

Possibly the second most southern Jazz fan in the world!

Kanter is a BEAST!

Watson is a wizard. And it was awesome seeing Mike Brown go ballistic on that ref. “HOW MUCH DOES THE LEAGUE PAY YOU TO GIVE US THESE GAMES? HOW MUCH?? COME ON, WHERE ARE THE CALLS?!”

Only downside

is media will blame this on being the second night of road b2b for the lakers. Either way, any day kobe loses is a good day in my book.

Let's be honest, though.

There’s no way the Jazz make a run like that in the 4th if the Lakers aren’t gassed.

While we're being honest

There’s no way the Jazz lose to the Warriors the other night if the Jazz aren’t gassed from playing the Clippers the night before.

This

is certainly true.

-BLEEP- the media!

You play the games that are on the schedule. No excuses.

There are few things in life better

than beating the Lakers and talking trash to my Lakers fan friends.

Is it just me

Or has Harris played like crap since the trade rumors came out?

by king.nothing on Feb 4, 2012 10:34 PM MST reply actions

Harris?

Is he still on the team?

by Nosanti on Feb 4, 2012 11:03 PM MST via mobile up reply actions 1 recs

I think he's playing hard, but not well

He pushes the tempo, he tries to be assertive. But he’s just not finishing plays. But this isn’t the JV squad. This team is not basketball rehab; this team is competitive with the right guys on the floor at the right time. I think at this point if he loses the starting job, nobody would think Ty Corbin is foolish. The question is whether or not the minutes shift to Tinsley who had a good game this week, or to Burks, or even to a trade.

Obviously Earl should play more – but with the other starters, or with the youth movement with whom he’s developed serious oop chemistry? And fastbreak chemistry… And defensive chemistry… I’m hoping one of the resident statisticklers will do a report on that.

I'll make it coach.

kanter 5-9

wow 9 shot attempts, good fg!

did anyone see what his shots were? put backs? did he actually post up and make a few moves??

by Bryan Chang on Feb 4, 2012 11:36 PM MST reply actions

I remember at least one beautifully sweet post move.

I remember one dunk that got me out of my seat

by moni on Feb 5, 2012 5:43 AM MST up reply actions

I was on a date

And almost talked her into going as we were right across the street after a movie. Great gal but she’s not a hoops fan. Bummed I missed this one. Sounds like it was a classic.

You should probably screen your dates

Especially if you are going out on a big game night. Save your dating for when we are playing the Wizards.

Is this relationship really going to work out?

Anyone that is a crazy enough Jazz fan to post on SLCdunk probably needs to find a spouse that likes the Jazz too.
Maybe I am just bitter because I couldn’t go to the game if I wanted to. :)

I Failed Then

My wife pretty much hates all sports. She went to one Jazz game with me (the beat down on New Orleans two years ago) and was more interested in the Jazz Bear than the game. Though, she will go to Real Salt Lake games and says she enjoys the atmosphere.

It's ok Amar, I didn't get to watch either.

Good thing I could DVR it to watch later and as many times as I need a pick-me-up.

Long live Ninja!
