SLC Dunk

Game 22 – February 4, 2012: Los Angeles Lakers @ Utah Jazz

Los Angeles Lakers at Utah Jazz, Feb 4, 2012 7:00 PM MST


The Los Angeles Lakers will be facing off against our Utah Jazz for the 3rd time this season, and the 3rd time in only 22 games. Wow. How much more can learn from these experiences? Well, hopefully a lot. The Lakers aren't the same team that used to give us fits for years. These Lakers give us fits because we fail to play them at our best. We almost had them in Game 2 of this seasons' series -- but lost nevertheless. We should have Earl Watson, and possibly also Devin Harris back for this game.

The Lakers played last night and they started Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Metta World Peace, Pau Gasol, and All-Star Andrew Bynum. They kind of got jobbed on a number of calls last night; so, yeah. Expect some level of business to happen tonight. If we're healthy we'll roll with Devin Harris, Raja Bell, Gordon Hayward, Paul Millsap, and Al Jefferson.

Sorry again for the lack of an awesome game thread -- those are coming back but remixed with your suggestions next week.

Nothing unifies people better than a common foe. There is no foe greater than the Lakers.

Don't forget to get your "Guess the Game Score" guesses in before tip off.

Earl's back? Rejoice!
Things I'd like to see

Run, run , run..
Hard foul on Kobe early to set the tone
Kanter vs Bynum

Agreed. Lakers are probably pretty tired.

They went down to the wire with the Nuggs last night, so running by us is a good thing. I wish we had Fesenko to accomplish said hard foul on Kobe. Kanter should be awesome at guarding Bynum.

Run, run, run is not in Corbins game plan

Not with Big Al as the focal point in the offense.

I would love to see the second unit do that, with Big Al off the floor

he would be sweating like a dog
he probably already is
Should be a fun game
It's been a while since I could actually watch the Jazz live

Don’t disappoint me tonight boys. We desperately need a win to keep in the playoff hunt.

Game on!

Few things better in life than a Jazz/Lakers game on a Saturday night… hope the fellas bring the energy tonight!

Tip-off is 10 minutes late? Must be a Lakers game
feed?
http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/105873/1/watch-utah-jazz-vs-los-angeles-lakers.html
oh man, why won't it work

I just want to see Raja punch Kobe

its showing on mine
only the wizards v clips game works for me

id rather stare at a ‘buffering’ screen all night!

try refreshing
Just had some good chinese food.
gordon vs MWP

should be interesting

Are we sure Harpring is actually at this game?

Or do they just use a recording?

a recording and a head on stick
Love the 2nd effort by 'Sap
Somebody needs to score besides Sap
Slow start for Kobe

dont want to jinx it…

saving his energy..
Sap can take Gasol off the dribble, just have to hope Bynum doesn't help out and block him
My gripe with Lakers games is that Al always shoots poorly

And that would be fine, but the guy always seems to want to put up his 12 to 20 attempts a night. We can’t afford those wasted shots

Big Al reminds me of Boozer every time we see the Lakers.

Not in every way, but he definitely struggles in the same ways. Can’t create space, can’t get his shot off, etc.

Anybody got a working feed? Gosh darn Govment
Scroll up
Ah, thought that was .tv

Thanks

www.firstrowsports.eu
nice assist Big Al
Nice D on Kobe by Gord
Could of used that 3
Big Al gets back the And 1...

Anything you can do…

except make the FT
Gotta make that FT!!
Weak foul call Ref
I hate the refs
*awaiting BC7's response*
Don't blame Zach Zarba...

That’s like making fun of family.

This is where Kanter just needs to take it to pau
not sure about taking on Pau, but we definitely need to feed the Big Turkey in the post
Kobe has used that hook move in the post twice now...

If Zarba was the official underneath he would’ve called it. I know it!

Kobe, arm hook, no call
Love it when Favors uses his body to bang
#freeJamaalTinsley

I want another 10+ assist game. None of this Devin Harris nonsense

Kobe gets the T!
please tell me that was Zarba
Hahaha...

Unfortunately it was not.

Haha i saw that Tech coming from a mile away
Keep talking 24
Kanter just went straight back in rather than bringing it down!!
they grow up so fast...
Right in front of our eyes!
Makes you kinda forget the losses and ugly plays

tear indeed

I could watch the Favors/Kanter combo 48 minutes a night

I love the effort and the constant offensive rebounding

Would probably provide better D on LA's starting bigs?

then Jefferson and Millsap could destroy the subs on the offensive end

Decent first quarter
Yeah, I feel pretty good about being down 3

Didn’t feel like we played particularly well. Surprisingly longing for Bell. Sad to see we apparently have non-scoring Hayward so far.

Black Jimmer!
I want Tinsley in
Come on guys

We need points!

CJ putting up some bricks
Way to work, Kanter
If I never hear the words "CJ with a fallaway"

again I’ll be OK

By far the best player to watch off-ball is Kanter

He is constantly moving and pushing people around. On offense and defense. I’ve always been a big OG fan but man, every game the Big Turkey is winning me over.

Cant keep my eyes off him
Bet you never expected to use that sentence

to describe a 19 year old 7 foot Turkish kid

Love Kanter's hustle!!
Howard has been impressive the last few games.

Glad to see that confidence is returning.

Woah...that was weird
I really thought Howard had a more reliable jumper

Were my expectations off?

Definitely didn't think he was going to be a consistent 3pt threat or anything

But at least a midrange game. I was excited for him to take the Harpring curl and now I cringe when he takes a shot outside of 10 ft.

I agree

its terrible

that's just the expectation you get from every opponent/former opponent
Haha, true

And apparently Howard had a 47 pt game against us. I forgot that

that's why he's here.

and Harris. Linas Kleiza has to be up next.

people are already counting the jazz out of the playoffs in the tight west c0nf
They need to show me a lot more

Before I even put them in the playoffs.

too early to call anything

all it takes is one injury to a star and a team could tank within a week. compressed schedule makes everything more volatile.

Kanter!

BEAST MODE

Another nice one from Kanter
Favors is struggling

Kanter carrying the load

I want to punch bynum so bad
Seriously

What a douche

Jazz are the kings of p***y fouls
"Enes the Menace"

No Matt, NO!

...I like that one
Hahaha I do too

There’s just something about the way Harpring says it…

I sense a rivalry brewing...

Enes / Bynum

I hear that something

in everything he says

That was lovely
Nice D

Run the shot clock.

So wearing a purple and yellow jersey gives you a +10 to foul immunity?
Listen CJ

If you going to drive like that, you better get me some points in the process.

*Things Coach Corbin should be saying.

Kanter dunk + Favors jumper

The game can end now.

Don't forget the Kobe T
Any reason why Hayward hasn't attempted a shot yet?
he had a beautiful cut earlier and opted to pass out (ended up as a TO)

Just doesnt like taking ‘bad shots’ I guess. But I’d rather Hayward take them then Josh or CJ.

Big Turkey is 6 & 5 after only 9 minutes

Let Kanter have some big minutes tonight Ty, he’s earning it.

The future is just so bright
ESPN says...

Love and Aldridge should be the West’s back up Forwards for the playoffs.

You think that Millsap has been better this year?

Also, Marc Gasol as the back up Center.

Big Al been better?

most analysts have Millsap as a Wild Card

I can’t see him beating out Love and Aldridge, and if the coaches pick Dirk because of his history then Millsap has no chance

Why I hate All Star games

Should be on their body of work on the season, not of their career.

they're pretty pointless

Like the MLB Allstars are worth something because they play for home field advantage. NBA plays for shits n giggles.

If I could be bothered to vote

I’d go vote for TMac and Vince Carter. ASG is a joke.

SUCK ON THAT KOBE
BLOCK!
And Raja!

What the freak just happened?

Man we gotta grab those REBS
Would go with Millsap but..

he has not looked like an All-Star the last few games

Nice block

Nice 3

Great recovery after ANOTHER missed def rebound

ding ding

I really don't like that the crowd cheers when the Lakers score

You’re better than that Utah sports fans

hence why I don't go to Utah Laker games

Bandwagon Laker fans.

They're not fans

they’re pathetic people that need to feel good about the rest of their sad lives.

whose parents should've used birth control.
Dang.

I thought I was harsh.

I guess I won't say the part about

how their parents are also likely related.

inbreds, most likely true.
haha they are pathetic people
Maybe they're Laker fans from before Utah had a team?
For some reason,

I doubt that.

Millsap

Steve Nash got nothing

No foul?

Screw you Kobe.

Where's Tinsley?

I guess his near triple double the other night isn’t impressive for Ty.

idk i dont see how you not play the guy
play performers

Who cares if Harris is better or paid more. He’s in a bit of a slump and is hurt, let Tinsley have some burn.

(Note: Never thought I’d be saying “let Tinsley have some burn”)

Impressed all of Utah except this man:

Ty: Triple Double might of gotten him three minutes. But I don’t know if he has any ball skills.

PROTIP:

Scream like an idiot every time you shoot. You’ll get the call every time.

This is why nobody will play video games with me anymore
Don't work in church ball

Its expected that way.

All of these petty fouls on the Jazz (that aren't called on the Lakers) will add up...
Welcome to the NBA

Where the Lakers are favored and the rules don’t matter!

Does this mean that Kanter might go off on someone?

And destory a rim?

Off-season work paying off!

2011 Al would never have done that…

Al

Please dunk like that all the time

We got a lucky bounce
Hayward with the touch!!!
Very nice Hayward
Gordo take the 3 point shot! No? You idiot!

Gordo why are you driving? No! Oh, amazing step back shot. Nice!

Smart kid

ha ha...thought the same thing
Harris...

0-3 and 1 assist in the 1st half? Come on bro. I need more out of you.

Lets run the rest of the game with Watson, Burks, Hayward, Evans, Favors. Just lob alley oops to Evans and Favors all night. Let Burks and Hayward knock down shots. Sounds like a solid game plan to me.

And if it starts getting out of control, put Kanter in to kill someone.

man we suck at 3's
2nd half adjustments...

Can we try a different mix of bigs vs LA?
Jefferson and Kanter starting
Millsap and Favors on the 2nd unit? or some other mix of the 4?

Not feeling very good with the idea of Jefferson and Millsap vs the Lakers bigs at the end of the 4th quarter if it’s a close game.

Give Tinsley some burn
Throw a (#) in there
#FreeJamaal
there we go! now its official
I like the idea of mixing the bigs.

Millsap and Al don’t have the rebounding ability of Favors and Kanter, but they do play better offense. Favors/Sap and Al/Kanter would be great combo’s.

is devin really a disapp0intment f0r the jazz?
Yes hes not even half the player he used to be

All hes good for is driving and shooting 3’s and he hasnt done that well…

Texted a buddy from work

Me: We should roll out Burks, Hayward, Favors, Millsap, Katner after the half.

Him: Too big of a team all around. Plus who would run the plays? Burks is too shoot happy.

Me: Hayward. Burks and Hayward would switch roles on offense.

Him: Team would still suck.

Ah screw him.

Just got here and checked the score.

What’s going on? Jazz down by 2. Are we happy? Mad?

Meh

Kanter has been playing awesome. Seeing some great development.
Hayward has taken only two shots.
PG playing like crap from scoring prospect.
Kobe is being Kobe and got a technical for opening his mouth.

Why only two shots for Hayward

Suddenly tentative again? Or Jazz running everything on the other side of the court again?

And I see Devin’s been really awesome.

I detect a small amount of sarcasm
You're good

I didn’t even type that in the sarcasm font.

Pretty neutral game wise, they've been meh, bench was solid

Purple Jersey = petty fouls go your way

The usual

Al and Kanter have both dunked in.
Coach Hornacek!!!

#Respect

I want Tinsley dammit.

Seriously, he’s. Lot more effective than Harris.

If I were coaching the Lakers

I’d make them foul Harris every single possession

why can't harris hit free throws?
Global warming?
i used to tease him about FTs as a child
Harris

You suck. You haven’t produced any significant numbers let alone any game to remember. I’m just frustrated with this guy.

Usually a hater of Al's defense

But he’s done well on Bynum tonight. Keeping in front of him.

I don't like Bynum
Oh my hell

That shot by Harris was astonishing. He was ten feet away and missed by eleven.

and Boler called it, "short."
Stupid...

I am trying to watch this game on a live stream.
My bro is downstairs watching Netfilx.
My wife is upstairs watching Netflix.

Guess who’s stream/internet keeps messing up…

man that sucks
their internets?
Netflix streams from the internet
Millsap does not give up
Dear Big Al,

Please don’t try to be a jump shooter

Millsap took his nightly scratch to the face

Might be time to buy some goggles

Get Harris off the court
"A reach around on Kobe"

Where have i hear that before?

Take it to him OG!
Wow.

I HATE ticky-tack fouls.

So much.

Kanter needs to punch Gasol his ugly llama face.
Maybe Kanter.

HULK SMASH

Another touch foul...ugh
I like Harris

He is a talented player, he gives the Jazz speed – something we’ve always lacked. He has also tried to tailor his game to the Jazz system this year, instead of playing wild like he did with the Nets.

Sadly, he isn’t producing. I don’t want him benched forever, but if it’s an off night it would help the team more to play Earl and Jamaal. Harris is a good guy, he’ll understand. Ty just needs to have the balls to make the call.

If fans could be coaches...sigh
With today's technology, it would be pretty easy for fans to decide on subs.

A twitter feed or online poll or something….coach checks it every two minutes to see which player is “trending” and then put them in. Democracy bitches! Maybe if the Jazz were a publicly traded company like the Packers, the shareholders could do that.

That was an awesome flop by Raja
Floppity flop, flop, flooooop....!!!!
It was bad enough being beat by the LA bigs back when we didn't have the personnel,

but it’s hard to watch getting beat when we got bigs that match up better sitting on the bench

Bell with hair > bald Bell
Kobe with hair > all other Kobe's
Pretty much anybody>Kobe

I don’t really like him.

Nice to see Millsap back to himself tonight.
should we be happy having a close game with the fakerz?
no, they are not that great this year. especially on the road.
no, we should be out-running them and using our bench depth
Did Paul push off there?

Ugh, yeah.

Guess who made the call?
Who are the refs tonight, anyway?
Zach Zarba and two other guys who don't matter!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
big Z...he couldn't have!
Kobe is allowed to push off but Millsap isn't?

Just trying to get a better understanding of Stern’s NBA rules

That sounds about right
ridiculous flop. Anyone else like watching the 80's hardwood classic games where it's not a flop fest?
back when basketball was a contact sport
Not really, I hate non-HD games.

Speaking of which, this is one for me.

#Firstworldproblems

:)

Are thete more Fakers fans in ESA

Than in other arenas when the Fakers show up?

I hear Portland has the same problem
It happens everywhere.
probably not Boston
But there are packs of Lakers fans no matter where they play.

Probably depends on the distance away from LA too.

And Boston, good call.

I could see it being a bigger thing here than most places

We get a lot of CA transplants in Utah.

really? how do they handle the temperature shift?

or is Utah warm in summer? I’ve always wondered…

By driving terribly.
we reach temps of 95+ for 2 months lol

Utah weather blows

I want to punch a Laker fan in the face right now lol
You punch i kick!
That's kinda my everyday existance
I want to taze a bunch of them
This is the feeling I have every day

I can’t count how many times I’ve interjected “I want to punch Pau” into conversation

Well because of the lack of internet...

I am off. Go Jazz Go!

You know what

Based on what I’ve seen so far, GS post D >>>>> Lakers post D

Jefferson is going to work
Harris...

smh

He done looks tired.

And done.

Can't we put CJ in for bad shots?
I was just about to say something about CJ
please keep giving MWP the ball.
Anyone else bugged by Ron Artest's name change?

Something about it just pisses me off. If I was calling the game I would just call him Artest. Stupid name game

No

I am just waiting for a moment where he does something stuipd like fight a fan.

Oh wait…

Yeah

Big publicity thing. He’s just trying to forget that he’s not that important anymore.

I think it's great

Like one big elaborate prank.

2nd unit needs to make a good run

Lakers bench clearly inferior

Thank goodness Mike Brown just called a TO...

that was getting ugly.

I was so excited when I heard Lakers got him as their coach
getting ridiculous, I'm embarrassed for both teams
Oh my hell, Harris

This is a whole new level of awful

worst I've seen

Ty deserves all the blame for not benching him, though

He did only have 9 first half minutes...

Probably the same in the second at this rate.

This is the one matchup that I think would go in Tinsley's favor, and we don't even get to see him.
Like the Boss level on old nintendo games...
effort is not enough to get the job done

He’s clearly putting in effort, the results just aren’t there. Off night, and indication of aging. Gotta make a move during the game; gotta make a move in the roster sooner or later.

Please let Devin rest

He’s got nothing right now. Give me Earl or at least Tinsley.

Please tell me

That we’re leaving Harris in to grow trade value.

if that's why

we are failing spectacularly

I somehow ended up with the spanish feed...ooook
Tinsley dammit
Wow

Hayward missed Kobe’s hand by about 4-6 inches there.

So bad
And then Kobe just slugs him to get open

No call, of course

whistle blew before he even shot it
Someone should cut a video of all of the ref's wrong calls and put it on their bed with a severed Lakers fan's head
Hayward playing with Kanter

Pretty rare. Hope they can link up for some good plays (if the ref’s let them play…)

Dont breathe on kobe

It’s an automatically call. BS!!!

Why do they call that garbage? It just completely destroys the flow of the game.

#Let them PLAY

more Turkey!, more Turkey!
We are playing pretty clean as far as turnovers go
LOVE MY MAN KANTER
Yeah JHow!
close game til the end?
Gasol got absolutely schooled by Kanter there
Gosh I love Howard
I'd pay $100 for Hayward to jump in and steal the tip like he did against GS
This is the part of the game when Watson gives us a lead from his hustle

Which will put us into a situation where Ty wants to put Harris back in.

Very glad to see Hayward's few shots aren't because he's back to being passive
I think he is just a really smart player who only wants to take good shots

Could’ve had the 3, opted for an aggressive drive

Whole different game when harris is on the bench
I'm no detective, but the minute Harris sits and Kanter gets on the court

The Jazz go on a mini-run and are playing with way more energy

Hmmm….

Is anyone not thinking this?
Some guy named Ty
Are you saying to play Kanter in the PG position?

Because I approve. I like to see Fisher guard under the bucket.

Utah Jazz All-big dream team:

PG: Kanter
SG: Millsap
SF: Jefferson
PF: Favors
C: Fesenko

Collins 6th man?
that a boy Watson!
If Kanter would had made that jumper...i would have died
Yes!

Someone finally hit Pau in the face

Or you'd think someone hit him by his reaction
more like shot him
Pau Gasol may just be

the wimpiest 7-foot guy on earth.

is that the 'punch in the face' people have been waiting for?
I want that one to go Kobe's direction
some crazy dude th0ught that g0rd0n is the only player in nba who is an alumni of griffind0re
Wow Favors

Favors and Kanter look really freaking good this game

I have never seen a Jazz v Lakers game where our bigs dominate

The future is bright

They did when our big was Malone

And theirs was Cedric Caballos

seems like it.

Al Jefferson’s hooks over Bynum? We’ve never had that in the Kobe/Gasol era.

If I were Greg/Kevin, I'd get Favors a long-term contract right now.

He needs to be a Jazz player for a long time. Hopefully Kanter too.

10 year deals

To anybody who has less than two years experience.

Watson, you get a year by year deal till you feel like retiring.

*cough* Portland *cough*
My biggest concern is any of these guys leaving

But they all seem to have bonded as friends, so if KOC can organise the contracts to keep every one of our younglings….we’d be a force for years to come.

He can lock them up cheaper if its longer.
booooooooooo!!!!!!!!....fu@#
I love these close games with the Fake Show
On the box score it says

Earl Watson misses a 49 foot 3 pointer. Thats funny I never noticed that before

Needs to work on shot selection geeeeeez
Watson is the honey badger and doesn't give a
Favs and Kanter
Lakers have alot of white dudes this year
Just glad they are finally done with their one white dude coach
You would think they have learned to stay away from Adam Morrison types
Dinner Time.

Just won the Internet back. BOOYA!!!

End of the 1st/Start of 2nd and end of 3rd/start of 4th are always the best times to watch Jazz games
tied game

sh0uld we be happy?

be happy with a win
need some C.J. drives to the hole for some easy points
so many freaking touch fouls.
What did Burks do to not get any minutes?
Nothing..Corbin just hates his guts thats all...lol
he smiled at practice
So glad he traveled
And get it called.

That is important.

I want to stab all those faker fans booing
I swear there are a ton of Laker fans tonight!

WTF?

Millsap a double double in only 19 mins

I want to see Paul on the court, but Favors and Kanter are playing way too well

Slot him in at SF?

I dig it.

Hayward could play the 2, since he is better suited body wise to defend.

have we tried that yet this year? I can't remember any games.
especially if they play MWP as their SF
Not that I know of

All off-season there was talk about Millsap training to play some SF. He clearly has the dribble moves and shot, and his speed wouldn’t be a liability against MWP.

At least worth a try

He specifically worked on his ball handling last year because of it.
Not that I can remembers

Last year I know he played that in the Nugget game (last game of the year) and we extremely well at it. But Coach Ty decided: “well that ain’t going to work.”

Good lord...

that lineup would be gigantic!

Screw your bigs

Our entire team is bigger.

Love the curl

Keep it up CJ

I feel like Harpring talks about the curl a lot
It's because of the hair

On his mind

Hahahaha

He gets younger with every game.
He will be back in a Jazz uni before the end of the season

Jr. Jazz that is
I miss AK

I imagine him swatting the Bynum hooks from behind.

Yeah!

I seriously love that Russian man

We are getting some lucky misses
CJ! we needed that
Lookie, CJ found his dagger bag.

Too early though. And its the Fake Show. You better start stabbing more daggers for the rest of the game.

so nerv0us ab0ut this one
Dunno if anybody was watching that NFL awards show...

Aaron Rodgers MVP A++++

Throw that man OUT!
Woah woah lol
hahahaha
Not sure what I love more.

Favors dunk
Howard passed it off to him, showing that he is team first
Mike Brown going Sloan in the ESA.

see ya Mike Brown
This game just got awesome
Oh yeah

That was freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STFU Mike Brown
coach was pissed.
Do NOT F w/ Zach Zarba!!!!!!!!!!!
That made my night
Did Brown bump the ref?
Doesn't matter what happens in this game now

That’s your headline

Let's go...

Gotta keep pushing… no letup.

exactly...keep pushing the paint, draw fouls
SUBWAY SUB OF THE GAME:

Zach Zarba

I swear I would eat Subway every day for the next month if that happened.
Watson and the Rookies

Let them finish this game.

Great play with Kanter
CJEEEEEEEEEZY!!!!!!!!
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE

I love you Earl.

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooo
How close is Kanter to a double-double?
a lot closer when he learns to shoot from six feet out

but I’m loving his game tonight. He’s a beast.

Just checked

Favors is also only 2 rebounds away

Al and Sap have it

WAtson is our best player
This is how we play Jazz Basketball!!
The Big Turkey gobbling up the rebounds
CJ....

Wow buddy wow.

This is getting epic
That was the most awesome chain of events all season long
My thoughts exactly
More fun seeing this than the dunk show against the Clips
I haven't been this happy

Since they announced that the NBA season was back on

This game just went from a boring ticky tack fouls Laker game

to some run and gun Jazz ball. As good as our Clippers blow out the other week.

We owe it all to Mike Brown

and to Watson
and to the magician who healed Watson with a mysterious laser
Been waiting for this all year vs the Lakers....

was pretty pissed we didn’t beat them the 1st two times

keep this up guys!
Great throw down by CJ

But to continue the Ty Corbin hate: Should of been Evans that threw that down.

Can't stop now.
Another T?
On the replacement coach I think they said?
Jon Kuester (sp)

acting coach

How great is that 3 game package?

Heat+junk games, only 100 bucks!

haha Kobe
Eff you, Kobe

Eff you.

Does it get any better than this??
I wanna win.
and by 20 points!
But I will take a W in any form
they need to put Fluke Walton in
I was going to say

If Kanter could sit on Luke Walton’s head

Keep the momentum
EARL WILL YOU HAVE MY BABY
EARL 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the ref's might have decided to stop favoring the Lakers after that incident
Lakers bench is imploding!
Earl is so legit...
I hope we're resting Kanter and Favors to finish out the game
not optimisitc
(Kobe's good)
Watson: Harris playing like crap. Its ok guys. Let me help.
guard the damn 3
crap number 24 again...
See #24

Put a body on him!

*Things Coach Ty should be saying.

Al, do that again and Kanter will walk out and physically replace you
You don't like the FT line push shot?

Why is that, because you are smart?

Punch to the face and drag him off.

Ask Pau how that feels.

Earl's game tonight reminds me

of when Fisher played his mind out after coming back from his daughter’s hospital in NYC.

Bloque BBC HD...sounds cool
sweet baby Jeebus Christo...

Fu@$#$$ng starters, we have a nice lead, DONT SHOOT JUMPERS!!!!, draw a foul!

DONT SHOOT JUMPERS!!!!

that part scares me.

The game is ours to lose
Sweet lefty, Paulie.
Left hand hooker

Unintentional Dirty Quote Machine

You need to read moni’s blog. You’re life will be richer for it.

"Left handed hooker" - Boler
With the reach around foul?
Are u serious?????
We are killing them in the paint
terrible call

F these refs

RAJA! HOW DO YOU STILL HAVE A STARTING JOB!

A JOB NONE THE LESS!

are you kidding me fouling him on a 3?
Burks looks so sad on the bench
Can we put all 5 guys on #24?
Millsap just broke Pau's ankles, then the side of the rim.
I hate the laker fans
Pau is confused.
from getting punched
I'm feeling really nervous right now
More jumpers

#ThingsNobody’sSaying

Watson's an exception
Hey, if we're not gonna double Kobe

Get a damn rebound!

Raja needs to come off the floor now.
EARL!!!!

Now we just need Evans

Watson does not back down to anyone
it takes the shortest guy on our team to drive to the rim
Thats it

Im getting a Watson jersey

If Harris comes back in at the TV timeout I'm going to break something
How about we go with this lineup:

Earl, Gordon, Josh, Kanter, Favors

Earl, Earl, Earl, Earl, and Earl?
I can go with that
Will Jefferson and Millsap just made back to back
Run this offense, Earl!
just a little bit m0re.
let's run these clowns over!!
Millsap make

GG Fakers

How is Watson not the starter?
at this point, anyone but Harris
Watson for 6th Man of the Year!!!!!
Hey TY!

IF it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIS

Always, every freaking game.

Earl Watson is our leader, is our starter.

#endthread

Did you see how he gave directions on the fast break?? jfklasjdflkasdj JIZZ
I'm trying to decipher your acronym at the end.
You might need Tom Hanks
Still no Tinsley, Evans or Burks :(
Please tell me after this time out that Harris isn't back on the floor.

Or I will destroy something.

Still Watson

We have a chance

Kobe - CLUNK
forceing it

average will always catch up to every shooter

good foul, make them earn their points
Can;t wait to hear Brown post-game talking about how the officials favored Jazz

my arse

lets go get j0hnny drama!

too early?

EWWSUA. Forever.
FOUL???
VERY smart play, Paulie.

CLOCK… GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FASTER

EARL DAGGER ME ONE TIME
WATSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
huiohoi;jo;jio[p
I love you Earl Watson

Please start our games.

EARL!!!

Somebody give him the starting job!

He's giving it to himself.
No he is ripping it away from Harris.
If only couch would allow it.
Watson single handedly took care of the Lakers
I predicted the Lakers to win by 10 in the contest

Never so happy to be so wrong

5 YEAR MAX CONTRACT FOR THE BULLDOG
Lets not get crazy now...

But yeah, lock this man up!

Stock-Deron-Earl

The trifecta of awesome Jazz PG’s

What is Kobe thinking there on the line?
I guess that L.A based doctor is probably regretting that he healed Earl
yeah how did that work?

never seen such a fast recovery.

lasers man, lasers
Ice this bad boy Earl.
HELL TO THE YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if this is the best win of the year

But it’s definitely my favorite

Mike Brown left early to avoid the traffic

He knew it was over! Go Jazz! Go Earl! Go ENES THE MENACE!

So true.

Warm up the bus!

Way to go back up with that, Al.

lol

Kobe hates losing to the Jazz
it reminds him of his early 20s.
haha playoffs
you can really see it
@allthatjazz and @pojo

Please give us some stats with Earl’s plus or minus, and how we play depending on who is playing along side Earl.

I love seeing Kobe's pouty face
Ahhhhhh

Raja tried to go Earl. Poor little guy still hasn’t learned.

Waston with 11 Assists in 26 minutes

Harris with 3 in 21

Just saying

11 > 24

I love that math

That’s going to be my lesson on Monday

start up the bus! start up the bus! start up the bus!
two thumbs up for our bench!

Watson, Kanter and Favors were beasting

Watson comes off the bench?

Not for much longer!

Bench won the game...

though props to at least some of our starters, they drew the Lakers starters to a draw when they were in.

Give credit to Ty for letting Earl stay out there
Great win

Enjoy the Superbowl/off day everybody

See you next week

Great win...great frickin win
I love beating the Lakers
50 rebounds tonight

Millsap and Jefferson with double doubles
Favors needed 2 more for double double
Kanter needed 4 more for double double

Earl needed two more points for his double double

Bench Bigs..

Kanter: 10 pts, 6 rebounds
Favors: 12 pts, 8 rebounds

Murphy: 0 pts, 2 rebounds
McRoberts: 0 pts, 0 rebounds

LOL

Lakers fans at SilverScreenandRoll complaining about refs.

Oh the irony!

I wonder if any of them recognize it
Nah. Not enough brain wattage
Now they're talking about a conspiracy!

It’s just too rich!

trade proposal for Harris

1 point? You played like this in the last Laker game…

Our Bigs > Their Bigs

MIllsap, Al, Kanter, Favors = 56 pts, 40 reb
Gasol, Bynum, McRoberts, Murphy = 45 pts. 30 reb.

In their face!

such a nice change..

so frustrating all those playoffs we lost to them with some good effort but our bigs just couldn’t hand with LA’s

Such a great night!

I wish this win counted for 3 W’s instead of just feeling like it!

Lakers had 10 more FTA and we still won!

It must be a miracle.
