Tonight the Utah Jazz start off their amazing three games in three nights trip. Game 1 of the back-to-back-to-back is tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. Tomorrow night the Jazz tip off against the New Orleans Hornets in Louisiana. The night after that? Final road game facing off against those darlings, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The rest of the week doesn't seem so hard in comparison when the Washington Wizards roll into down for the Guess the Game Score game of the Week. Don't worry, I made a map.
Can you believe only ONE of these teams is in the Eastern Conference?
Anyway, let's not get too head of ourselves -- tonight is the Grizzlies for Game 2 of our 3 game season series against them. We beat them last time at home, when they were playing without All-Star Zach Randolph, and serviceable reserve Darrell Arthur. This time around -- yep, they are both still out. That's fine with me because spectacular forward Rudy Gay and follicular center Marc Gasol will be enough.
This season the Jazz have been pretty bad on the road, and I don't expect things to change during this road trip. Memphis has lost 7 of their last 11 games. We're not exactly on a hot streak either right now. Something has to give. Old man Corbin may even play Alec Burks tonight? Naaaah . . . .

Yes, I'm still having computer trouble. Fixing it as soon as I can, as best as I can.
Sorry for the interruption of service.
AllThatJazzBasketball - February 12, 2012
No problemo, man.
The great thing about SLC Dunk is that in addition to what is posted by you, Yucca, Moni and co., the stuff that the users generate in the comments section is almost always worth reading.
DWest - February 12, 2012
Should be a good one, need to get off the snide
National TV again though, that hasn’t been good for the Jazz this year
BJInIndiana - February 12, 2012
it is nat tv
but it wont have the big game feel that the others did. that should help

a “must win” feeling for this game
rbmw263 - February 12, 2012 via Android app
Sunday game is kind of weird.
Looking forward to it.
king.nothing - February 12, 2012
Memphis is the kind of team I hope the young jazzmen develop into
Pass first PG (?), Athletic defensive wings(Burks Hayward), and two beasts down low (Favors, Kanter).
Jazz and Ducks - February 12, 2012
I'd rather just trade some of our vets for Gasol and call it good.
MTN - February 12, 2012
If Burks and Evans get 3 straight DNPs on this b2b2b, I'mma be a little bummed.
Okay, a lot.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Excited to hear Boler and Harp complain about the 3 games in 3 nights all night long...
Not.
BC7 - February 12, 2012
No ESPN commentary for you?
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Nah... I'd rather listen to the local guys...
Stick with the routine I guess
BC7 - February 12, 2012
Oh, they have in on both ROOT and ESPN?
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Yeah...
The only time there is no local broadcast is a TNT game. All others have local feeds.
BC7 - February 12, 2012
Nice. Wish I could get the pregame Jazz stuff instead of listening to Magic, etc.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Or a 30-point Eastern Conf. game

The white socks are just odd...

Man it seems like every ESPN game
We get stuck with Chris Mullin
Jazz and Ducks - February 12, 2012
Hey, defensive rebound much?
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
It would be nice if we could remember
how to get defensive rebounds.

BC7 - February 12, 2012
Im tired of watching the jazz lose
utahjazz-philippines - February 12, 2012 via mobile
If Memphis keeps up this shooting pace (0-6)...
I like our chances.

Hey! We forced a 1st QTR timeout!!!!
When was the last time that happened?!?!?!
BC7 - February 12, 2012
When we last played the Memphis Tams?
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Dang!
Where has this Jazz team been this whole season??
dunkface - February 12, 2012
At home?
DWest - February 12, 2012
Same team, giving up offensive rebounds...
Occasionally making shots, etc…

Nice second effort Jeff.

Technical!!
dunkface - February 12, 2012
Usual result, though.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
When Harp says it could've gone either way
that means it should have gone against the Jazz.
100% of the time.
BC7 - February 12, 2012
What is it about our team and the opposing coaches getting T'd up?
DWest - February 12, 2012
G-TIME!!
dunkface - February 12, 2012
WTF are these Grizzly uniforms
Hideous
BJInIndiana - February 12, 2012
Did you see the "Muskies"
unis last night?
DWest - February 12, 2012
Those were the Twolves right
I thought they said, Huskies, what the hell is a muskie
Jazz and Ducks - February 12, 2012
They were the ABA version of the T-Wolves.
A quick google search tells me a muskie is some sort of large freshwater fish.
DWest - February 12, 2012
Yeah I just googled at the same time
Thats gotta be the lamest team name I have ever seen. I would love to see their mascot, A giant Pike fish
Jazz and Ducks - February 12, 2012
I'm just glad our mascot
isn’t a large, lopsided eighth note.
DWest - February 12, 2012
lol
Jazz and Ducks - February 12, 2012
I thought it must refer to a muskox

gubihero - February 12, 2012
We look energized and motivated.
WTF??

The WTF
should be saved for the second half if your first statement still holds true
moni - February 12, 2012
the whole game imo!
Bryan Chang - February 12, 2012
Good point.
dunkface - February 12, 2012
and paul with another steal
gubihero - February 12, 2012
Al just went for Gasol's 'Al-fake'
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Explain that...
and why the Jazz can’t defend the P&R and you’ll be on to something.
BC7 - February 12, 2012
Hey, if we can get our guards making jumpers, I'll worry about the rest later.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
this game is so much easier
when our guards are making their wide open jumpers

Hey guys, has anyone noticed these awful pee coloured jerseys yet?!
G Note - February 12, 2012
I like the novelty of it.

My eyes hurt
Please, leave these colors to the Packers, they do it right
BJInIndiana - February 12, 2012
I kinda like them
reminds me of the 94 duck jerseys

They look like the Might Ducks jersey from the first movie...

Locke mentioned that the Grizzlies scouting report listed two Jazz players as 'shot hogs'
I’m thinking CJ would be one (since that’s his role)…who would the other be?
Howard? Burks (not like he actually gets on the court)?
G Note - February 12, 2012
Are you sure he said "two"?

About time too

Let’s go!

Wouldn't it be awesome
if Al had at least a 6-inch vertical?
DWest - February 12, 2012
Ditto for Kanter

I'm just glad you said "vertical"
and not something else.

LOL

Bryan Chang - February 12, 2012
Memphis has nobody that I'm excited to watch
I like some of their players, but it’s not like I’m wondering to myself, “What is Griffin gonna do tonight?” Or the same thing for Rubio, or Rose, or Granger or any number of exciting opponents.
This is basically a scrimmage tonight, and the JV unis don’t help.
MTN - February 12, 2012
I like Quincy Pondexter.
DWest - February 12, 2012
I'll keep an eye out.
I like Conley. Go Buckeyes! But he’s not exactly Kyrie Irving or John Wall.
MTN - February 12, 2012
I like Marc Gasol.
Not tonight, but usually.
moni - February 12, 2012
I like him way more than Pau.
hamfist - February 12, 2012
I knew I saw these unis before...
George Mason rules.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Hayward passes well in pick and roll situations
Favors is playing with flippers instead of hands tonight. After his first nice pass, he’s got a couple of fumbles.

Almost no fouls this quarter on either team.

Why not put Evans in for the last minute replacing Gord?
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
no pts in last ~3min
=p
Bryan Chang - February 12, 2012
Howard in the game for less than a minute.
Takes a questionable shot, sure time was running out, but still.
hamfist - February 12, 2012
long enough to take an ill-advised shot
MTN - February 12, 2012
If I was KOC I'd trade/waive Josh Howard immediately for that dud shot to end the quarter
Could he have made that any more difficult? There was 5 seconds to swing it somewhere else…
ugh JHo. Ugh.
G Note - February 12, 2012
Totally on the same page as me.
hamfist - February 12, 2012
What if Marc Gasol is to Pau Gasol
as Serena Williams is to Venus?
In other words, what if Marc ends up coming on stronger and stronger and ultimately has the more monster career of the two
and becomes a fashion mogul
MTN - February 12, 2012
The Williams sisters could beat up the Gasol brothers...
Absolutely no doubt in my mind.

Not a good possession to start the quarter.
I worry about the second unit in the half court. I really wish Hayward played more with them.

DNP's don't change your average
So maybe he does

Is that true?

Gotta be games played/minutes.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
I........... did not know that.
BC7 - February 12, 2012
So maybe these DNPs are just being used to boost his trade value.
“Look, 5.6 PPG in only 11 minutes!”
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Good Point
Jazz and Ducks - February 12, 2012
Didn't know that.

i always did like the word doppleganger
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
Is it just me or does national media (ie-ESPN) give the Jazz more respect now that they're a young 'rebuilding' team and not a D-Will led playoff contender?

How many years will Rubio have to play to beat Stockton's assists and steals records?
If anybody can do it, it will be Rubio.
MTN - February 12, 2012
eleventy billion
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
negative
Bryan Chang - February 12, 2012
Well, Stock played 20 years with minimal injuries
Even if he’s the exact same guy, assuming more average missed time due to injuries, at least 24
Rubio would be 46
BJInIndiana - February 12, 2012
Wow Al.
moni - February 12, 2012
'shot hog'
G Note - February 12, 2012
Really Al?
hamfist - February 12, 2012
pretty shot big al!
Bryan Chang - February 12, 2012
If it wasn't already clear, it's clear now
Al wil never pass out of the block
MTN - February 12, 2012
PASS THE BALL
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
after making his previous shot
he HAD to take on that triple team, he’s “feelin” it!!!
Bryan Chang - February 12, 2012
I wanna see a Gordo 3 to end the half
MTN - February 12, 2012
nevermind
MTN - February 12, 2012
Just tuned in
How is it looking? Score wise I see we are up, but how are we?
king.nothing - February 12, 2012
Hayward and that is all
Jazz and Ducks - February 12, 2012
es verdad
MTN - February 12, 2012
Booya
Sounds good. I love Hayward’s good games. Guys at work think we should trade him away. Says he isn’t worth the pick we used him for.
king.nothing - February 12, 2012
People at your work are crazy
BJInIndiana - February 12, 2012
People at my work also think
- Jefferson and Millsap is the future and we should trade away Favors.
- Favors is too raw to develop.
- We need to get rid of Watson
- Evans is just a stunt man and other players deserve his roster spot.
- D-Will will return at end of his contract
king.nothing - February 12, 2012
do you work at the jerk store?
MTN - February 12, 2012
Feels like it
Just put it this way, they sponsor the stadium.
king.nothing - February 12, 2012
THey're forgetting to overrate him because he's white
MTN - February 12, 2012
He's killing it on both ends of the court.
Sadly no one else on the team can hit the side of a barn.
Jazz and Ducks - February 12, 2012
Oh and as bad as the Jazz are shooting
Memphis is somehow shooting worse especially down low, which is weird considering they have “All Star” Marc Gasol
Jazz and Ducks - February 12, 2012
From box score
Looks like only solid bench scorer has been Kanter going 1/3 and starters are doing well. Except Raja but that is expected.
king.nothing - February 12, 2012
There was an Eric Brooks sighting.
moni - February 12, 2012
W0w, this is g0od
utahjazz-philippines - February 12, 2012 via mobile
Time for a samwich
MTN - February 12, 2012
Subway? Just for Hayward? Look at him!
king.nothing - February 12, 2012
Hayward plays well = Subway for lunch the next day
It’s a rule
G Note - February 12, 2012
I ran into some cash yesterday.
I think I’ll join yall.
MTN - February 12, 2012
Wish Subway sold Dew instead of Melo Yellow
MTN - February 12, 2012
Only 6pt lead?
utahjazz-philippines - February 12, 2012 via mobile
We need a betting line of the night.
FYI, Memphis is/was a 6 1/2 point favorite tonight.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
How many open threes we are going to let Memphis take in the second half?
hamfist - February 12, 2012
The over/under is set at too many.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
How many offensive rebounds they get?
hamfist - February 12, 2012
Fewer than the first half.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
That was a painful one.
hamfist - February 12, 2012
life off, game on
MTN - February 12, 2012

There ya go, Paulie!

G Note - February 12, 2012
Damnit, get a rebound!
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Who will guard Gay?
Miles?
MTN - February 12, 2012
Sweet D by Harris
BC7 - February 12, 2012
followed by sweet ball handling
MTN - February 12, 2012
Crap
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
OK
That village people “entertainment” at the break is freakin me out.
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
Was it the guy with the 4 village people attached to him?
They had that at halftime of the OKC game.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Yup... same dude.
BC7 - February 12, 2012
CHRISTOPHER!
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012

Big guy oop!
BC7 - February 12, 2012
Wowza!
Al to Sap!
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
hayward is trying but gay shots still go in lol
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
and when he's left alone.
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
Ding me!
BC7 - February 12, 2012
Gay got hot
Not good at all
G Note - February 12, 2012
That pick and pop was too easy.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Jefferson
No, he didn’t walk at all.
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
Al hits the craziest looking shots sometimes...
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
...and takes some dumb ones.
Like that.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
and when they go in
I’m like “Yes! But don’t do it again.”
moni - February 12, 2012
AK-style
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Some nights Al is happy to pass out of the post, other nights he just keeps putting up bad shots
Is the Big Fella Basketball Bipolar?
G Note - February 12, 2012
Can't believe that some of our shots aren't falling...
In and out all night long
(pauses)
moni?
BC7 - February 12, 2012
#UDQM.
moni - February 12, 2012
I thought they said something about not calling those...
If the offensive player initiates contact.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Harris again with the weak foul...Foul Hard man!
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
So.... Kendall Marshall anyone?
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
There we go...
Love hitting shots off the screen like that.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
bell must be feeling young out there
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
Big Al not quittin on that
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
+25
BC7 - February 12, 2012
Great hustle
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
good hustle by Al
If he played defense and took smarter shots, he’d be the best player on the team!
G Note - February 12, 2012
Bring in the youngins!
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
I haven't looked at the stats...
But we must be getting killed on the boards
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
I just looked...
- 9 defensive
- 5 offensive
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
You passed the eye-test.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Looks like another <15 minute night for Favors/Kanter.
Ho hum.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
To Al's credit he is playing much better tonight...
I don’t think either of the young bigs deserve more time than normal tonight
BC7 - February 12, 2012
Favors looked awful, and Kanter was only slightly better.
I wasn’t really saying they deserved it, I just like seeing them play.
And Kanter run.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Is Ty staying with the hot hand?!
GASP!
BC7 - February 12, 2012
buffalo lope FTW

Nice pick by Earl to free 'Sap for the jam!

B-e-a-utiful!

Nice defisive stand
it’s like they actually heard Ty at the break
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
love earl
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
Hayward shoots that offbalance mid-range J so well.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
So yeah, Hayward is our best player
White guys thrive on the Jazz!
G Note - February 12, 2012
Ben Handlogten FTW

Asmaki - February 12, 2012
Just barely tuned back in
Hayward’s still got it going on.
AWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHH

earl watson was like
“oh no you don’t gasol!!!”
flyinnnng leapppp
Bryan Chang - February 12, 2012
i probably would have made that same too Millsap
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
I know it won't happen but...
I wish we would see Burks on the floor to start the 4th Q, not Howard.
G Note - February 12, 2012
How come we never fire a Millsap 3 at the close of a quarter?
I guarantee he’d get left open the majority of the time…
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
And yet we let Jason Hart do it all the time.
moni - February 12, 2012
cringes
BC7 - February 12, 2012
And no offense to Earl, but Earl too.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
saving it for the end of the game?
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
no, bc Ty always has Millsap inbounding the ball in those situations.
moni - February 12, 2012
this is true
and annoying
G Note - February 12, 2012
CJ had Kanter there for a missed layup...
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Quiet night for CJ...
hope he comes alive in Q4

Kanter dunk!
dunkface - February 12, 2012
Nice!
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
Kanter seems to have new moves every game
He’s the kind of player that must love to learn. Great potential for the future.
G Note - February 12, 2012
Ugh. Really?
dunkface - February 12, 2012
Favors slam!
BC7 - February 12, 2012

Thats how you pass the ball in the paint CJ!

Keeping the Jazz in this one

Wow. How'd you make that, doe?
dunkface - February 12, 2012
I hope Favors comes back next year and is an inch taller and 20 pounds of muscle stronger.
And just rapes souls of all those who try and stop him.
Dreaming is fun.
Oh, and Kanter shoots and makes a three!
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
one of these days he will shoot the 3!!
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
FAVORABLE!
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Favors...so beastly
Asmaki - February 12, 2012

When he has confidence, he is unstoppable

BOOM FAVORS
Bryan Chang - February 12, 2012
Flop.
dunkface - February 12, 2012
Gotta disagree...
On the Griffin-scale, that was a 1.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
I may be a bit biased.
dunkface - February 12, 2012
Oh, I'm very biased. I just saw the replay.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
So did I.
I know it was the correct call. I’m just totally irrational when it comes to the Jazz. :D
dunkface - February 12, 2012
aka, a Jazz fan.
I’m right there with ya, lol.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Easy to get the ref to call a flop when he isn't even looking at the play...
Bennie Adams
BC7 - February 12, 2012
a bit
but Favors hit him pretty good
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
GO BENCH BOYS
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012

Asmaki - February 12, 2012
If Al comes in and ruins this free flowing offense
I’m going to pop the vein in my head
G Note - February 12, 2012
now that's how you prevent the basket
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
Missed both FT's also
BC7 - February 12, 2012
Earl don't do no p***y fouls
moni - February 12, 2012
panty fouls?
BC7 - February 12, 2012
"pantywaist"
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
No wonder you suck at Hanging With Friends.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
I think that's the correct answer in Utah?
moni - February 12, 2012
I think panty foul is worse than the alternative in Utah.
That’s like third base.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
LOL
BC7 - February 12, 2012
All I can see is the score from our last game of Words w/ Friends...
sorry ’bout it.
BC7 - February 12, 2012
All I can see is...
SHUT UP!
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
party fouls?? lol
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
See Harris thats how you foul? none that holding your hands up mess
Asmaki - February 12, 2012
Please leave Earl on the floor
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
Good foul
dunkface - February 12, 2012
Maybe we shouldn't bring Evans in..
I’d hate for Memphis to learn how to ’oop.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Evans wrote the book...
Everybody ’oops
BC7 - February 12, 2012
I've heard of the book to which you allude.
Haven’t read it though. Have you?

Nice extra pass by Al to set up Raja on that triple
BC7 - February 12, 2012
Wow, the Jazz are pretty awesome when the guards get points!
G Note - February 12, 2012
With the way our bigs play down low, getting points from outside could make this team GREAT
BC7 - February 12, 2012
I'd take 'pretty darn good' even.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
so when did we become a 3 point shooting team?

BC7 - February 12, 2012
Hayward's D on Gay was pretty good.

His O was even better

this second half has been like
much needed therapy

I don't believe it.
We’re on the front page of ESPN. That doesn’t happen, even when they televise our game.
http://espn.go.com/
DWest - February 12, 2012
almost halfway through the season
and i still have no idea how good we really are. close losses to good teams and a few solid w’s. amd some blowouts
rbmw263 - February 12, 2012 via Android app
I guess that's a lot better than the expectations a lotta people have for us.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
Fringe playoff team sounds about right
Better than what I expected
allen aoki - February 12, 2012
Checking my preseason schedule,
I had us at 12-14 by this point.
DWest - February 12, 2012
So
After the past 5-8 games, is Hayward officially our best player?
Yucca Man - February 12, 2012
I'll go best guard. Al's been pretty good, too.
But if he keeps this up, yay all of us.
rxmike12 - February 12, 2012
He's been great on both ends of the floor this month
BC7 - February 12, 2012
That's what's dazzling me
He’s playing well on O. But man, his D. He fights and pesters his guy every single time down the court. I loved how often Gay was trying to get in his spot, but Hayward just wouldn’t do it.
Yucca Man - February 12, 2012
^ Hayward wouldn’t let Gay do it.
Yucca Man - February 12, 2012
Totally agree...
He’s been using his length on D, and more than anything else he is putting in the effort on that side of the floor. Our bigs did that tonight as well.
BC7 - February 12, 2012
I think he has the opportunity to really frustrate his opponent
because he looks so unassuming, but plays so physical on D. You know that’s got to just really piss opponents off.
LP Jazz - February 12, 2012
And they do look pissed off, most of the time.
Yucca Man - February 12, 2012
Hayward IS our best player
He might be the only legit all star type player on this team for many years! Yea im going out on a limb here, and being homerish, but his defense is verry underrated, and when he gets his shot going on offense he can be a 20 point 5 assists guy in this league.
EcERyda69 - February 12, 2012 via mobile
Right now
His per 36 minute stats are: 13 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, a steal, and a block.
If you count since the Dallas game (when he really started playing with confidence), it goes up to 16.5 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.5 steals, 1 block. 51% FG, 21% 3’s, 82% FT.
Yucca Man - February 12, 2012
I hope we can keep him.
My worst fear is that he goes to LA or Chicago. Ughh.
DWest - February 12, 2012
And those Memphis jerseys were some of the most horrific things I've ever seen
Looked like a church ball team on the road.
