Game 23 – February 6, 2012: Utah Jazz @ New York Knicks

Utah Jazz at New York Knicks, Feb 6, 2012 5:30 PM MST


The Utah Jazz face off against the New York Knicks in 30 mins from now. Seriously. I'm not organized enough to have a flashy game thread up in time for something like an East Coast Game -- and I live in the Eastern Standard Time Zone. Man. Knicks will be playing without Amar'e Soudemire who lost his brother. I expect the Knicks to play with a lot of heart as a result.

Utah Jazz New York Knicks
Al Jefferson Tyson Chandler
Paul Millsap Jared Jeffries
Gordon Hayward Carmelo Anthony
Raja Bell Landry Fields
Devin Harris Jeremy Lin
Earl Watson Iman Shumpert
C.J. Miles Toney Douglas
Josh Howard Renaldo Balkman
Derrick Favors Steve Novak

No major injuries for the Jazz, Knicks w/o Amar'e, but also without Baron Davis and Josh Harrellson

Should be a fun game

Even without Stat it’ll be a tough game—road games will always be challenging. More so tonight because of the venue. Actually looking forward to watching Lin Mania up close.

FYI, you put game 19 as the title of the GT
good eye. fixed, thanks!
And on another note,

poor Hayward is going to get owned tonight.

I think the bulk of the game we'll see CJ or Josh defending Melo
let's hope so, if not, he'll be eaten alive
I hope so

no way G Time can keep up with Melo

I would rather see him at SG of course.

But if we insist on playing him at the 3, eventually he is going to have to learn to guard elite players there. I want him to try to handle Melo.

Body wise, he would be bigger than the other SG

But I much rather play him there also. Seems to have a keen for that position.

What a wonderful Idea

firstinrow got owned by the government
try

firstrowsports.eu

My google fu provided me with that shortly after my comment

thanks though. Silly government thinking that shutting down one domain name is going to do anything.

I totally forgot that the game was at 5:30.

So used to home games, haha…

I'm sure we'll prob be down a few people early on because of that
.....Ty why is Harris starting?
because the bench needs a leader
Its like how you eat your veggies before dessert.

Get the bad out of the way and save the best for last.

Harris is either going to give you an A or an F
I disagree.

He is totally capable of a C-.

because he doesn't want to cuase chemistry problems

Besides Earl has made clear there’s no dispute over the starting PG, he likes to play with the kids… so everybody’s happy

#StartEarlAndTheKids
i won't complain about him starting

if earl is closing games.

Yeah, wasn't it Wooden who said something about

it not mattering who starts, but who finishes?

Looking forward to this one...

Hope we play well in MSG for once… been awhile.

i love how gordon hayward is the cheapest team mate
Emotion gonna run high in NY tonight

Stat’s unfortunate tragedy, Lin Mania, Giant’s Super Bowl win…Hopefully the Jazz can overcome the atmosphere. Just gotta put on their hardhats and play their game.

NY broadcast here... anyone have some Harp and Boler
Jazz will win this.

Right?

I see why not.

Other than the Hayward/Melo and possibly the Bell/Fields match up, I take our starters over theirs (yes even Harris, if he shows up). And I like our bench more.

Well, Mr. Bavetta is on the reffing corps tonight.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
it always hard to determine how a team will respond to a tragedy
last year after the Deron trade we got destroyed here... i'm a bit scared
Here is a question that shows my age but

why exactly is MSG so historic i know they had some good teams with ewing in the past but they don’t have the history of the celts or lakers.

Big name team in a big name stadium

Results mean nothing to them.

Feels like I'm watching an ABC or ESPN game with Mike Breen announcing
Hope Harris can get into the offense early...
I hope he can get into it at all.
Usually early = at all...
Ugly basketball.
We just gonna feed Al every time down?
Hey Jefferson, you may have forgot but you do have teammates.
If the other team has possession of the ball

when the 24 sec violation occurs, just let them play!

There ya go, Devin!
Made a free throw. *does happy dance*
Vintage Harris
Thought this game was an hour later lol

Here now.

It’s nice that the games on National TV…but I HATE HATE HATE that they filter the crowd noise. Sounds bizarre.

I hate how boring these

Knicks announcers are

Fry sauce, Jazz nation, Bull in a Kanter Shop

Feel better?

Funny to have Clyde the glide doing Knicks color
Clyde the Glide does Houston color if I remember right...
My mistake

Which Clyde is this?

Walt Frazier nicknamed Clyde
That's right

How do I forget the nickname of my 2nd favorite knick

Big John Starks fan eh?
Spike Lee ;)
Let's not get in too deep a hole here man
Test

The app is tough to post in and comment in the right place

Jazz are 2-6 from the field. Yuck.
Definitely not a charge

Feet moving!

Sure are a lot of people falling down tonight
No Jumper Plz

kthanksbye

charge?

I don’t even know what to say.

That made Blake's flop look like excellent D
So true.

Dude was moving all over the place.

#DickBavetta

(I don’t even know if it was him that made the call, though.)

flop and an half
we are playing really bad
Slight understatement
i see no fire... and Paulie's getting on my nerves a bit
How 'bout we quit dribbling into a corner double team...?
That was horrible
As I said earlier,

SERIOUSLY ugly basketball.

Rebounding...ugh.

We need Kanter.

Is Anthony ok?

Officially nervous for our road games.
If we split them, I will be happy.
Terrible terrible terrible
i hate our road attitude
Millsap actually getting calls.
BENCH EVERYONE

cept Earl

Sap

always gets it in the face

Offensive foul?

Daf***?

Does anyone have Millsap's address?

I want to buy him a pair of goggles before the poor guy goes blind

This is a rough game to watch so far.
Terrible. Knucklehead Terrible
If our starters are getting this many offensive fouls called,

Really scared for the rookies.

I would rather watch re-runs of Power Rangers than this game

If it continues to be this bad.

Beautiful there DFav.
Lin has made some nice passes, that have been wide open misses.
bah
Cautiously optimistic when CJ shoots free throws
Carmelo no mas tonight.
if we lose i will hide my face in sham
We really should have no matchup problems anymore.

Not that that means anything…

Might be ugly.
where is Mello?
pulled groin
hopefully his own...

heyoooo

good night salt lake! he'll be back in town next weekend

Hella funny

Any joke on mellow is a good one

Friday.

Excited for the OKC game.

I predicted CJ would shut him down tonight

Heh. Nice job CJ

Got injured in like the first five minutes
This Knicks team stink

No Stout, no defense, no inside offense.

The Jazz need to take the lead and blow this out. If we lose this game it’ll be super frustrating.

Could be a good game to free Eric Bourne. A speedy cutter could cut NY up.

We're lucky the Knicks aren't up by 20
this exactly
hopefully boorks will get some burn
Ty needs to pick the team up, he needs to instill them some fire
Sick move by Favors.
Think Breen just called Enes Kant'ner'
not the first crew to do so.

Of course, ours call him “Kanner”

What will happen

When Einrich Bjorks comes in?

Is the roof off the MSG?

So many shots missing the hoop

Oh good, a JH jumper...
He needs to be banned from shooting outside the paint.
I don't mind it in rhythm, but the two dribble jumper bugs...
What about the step back?
great aggression Miles
How many airballs now?
I think that's two in a row?
Since when was I watching the D-League?
Without Melo and Amare aren't the knicks essentially a D-league team?
seeing as how we look as bad as they do

what does that say about us?

I left that part unsaid.
watching the second unit coming in

Is sometimes like watching the Calvary come to the rescue

lets get the road W UTAH!!!!
There you go, DOE
Josh Howard...

No. Just no

Josh Howard.... stop it.......
What an abysmal quarter
i think Ty needs to do something, really, he needs to chew this guys until they start playing with some intention
Good news:

This quarter can’t possibly be that bad. Right?

As long as Burks gets burn

I think I’ll be ok

I just wanna see some fire... I think EB can do that for us.
Nah, we're ok.
There is no reason that we should lose this game

goodness me

Ummm. I th0ught we were d0wn big base on your c0mments
We honestly should have been.
Not a good start.
That's the JH jumper I wanna see...
DOE-licious...
Knicks two centers have 2 fouls a each

Pound it inside on whichever one is in the game

think that was the game plan to start
I guess we forgot then
No.

Let’s give it to Josh Howard, so he can take 20-footers all night long. That’s a better idea.

How can Chandler be that bad around the rim?
You're welcome, Tyson.
Do you like that better?
Please, please, please guard the 3 ball

I know the Jazz haven’t guarded the 3 well since…ever…but it’s all the Knicks have. And losing to a star-less Knicks side would be depressing.

does anybody else think that ny might be better off without melo?

/

ny...any team...
Well, it worked for the Nuggs...
Define worked.

They underachieved if you ask me. They look better without him to be honest.

think that's what DWest meant
I guess the ... implied the sarcasm.

My bad.

too true

but they did get a nice team in return for him, i mean it was like 5 decent players right. for a volume shooter that didn’t play d

I would almost cheer for them, if they weren't the nuggets.

They are a fun team to watch. Will only get deeper when they get Chandler back, if they re-sign him that is.

Oh my.

We look sooo bad. Can someone try please. Any effort at all.

This is painful.
#FreeAlecBurksandJeremyEvansandJamallTinsely
Just rolls off the tongue.
Tyson.

Go sit. And nice spin there Enes.

Is Chandler just going to chill there?
Kanter just ran the Big Al play

I like the confidence, I don’t like the play call. Our bench should be running and cutting, not sitting around waiting for the C like our Starters.

Everybody seems really stationary on offense

Corbin needs to put whomever in there that is going to move around.

Corbin needs to yell at these gauys auntil they start playing some, at least, decent ball
man

Can’t believe I missed the Laker game and have been relegated to watching this one #hope4better

Sacrificed the 1st qtr in the name of fitness...

other than ’Melo being hurt, what did I miss?

Turnovers
a LOT of these
Yikes...

Thanks for keeping me in the loop though

bad jump shots.
what a bad game so far... i see no fire, from no one
Tinsley Time?
might not be a bad idea...

need someone to calmy run the offense

I don't get it

we should be blowing them out, lacking both Melo and Stat. And even worse, the knicks aren’t playing with alot of energy either

stop with the effing jumpshots please
I think without their stars they are actually playing defense.

Interesting concept. Not that the Jazz have done anything, at all, that looks good.

we are playing like crap, is not them
Dont worry guys, Harris is back
Lin is destroying us.

I don’t understand.

Ty needs to do something now, NOW
That was a stupid foul call

And way to be rascist there Matt

did the league change the three second rule while I wasn’t paying attention?

I wish I'd missed this game

I’d rather watch the Wizards at the moment….

I kinda thought that Harris shot had a better shot of going in

than his usual ones.

i'm starting to think the team stays out late

And parties every time they go to NYC. Like everyone playing with a hangover

I was just thinking

tonight’s recap can just me a ranking of who stayed out the latest last night

seriously

They are all a half step (or two behind)

post super bowl partying anyone?
same thing when they're in LA
What time does Olive Garden close?
Gawd this is ugly

I tried listening to it while driving my daughter to B-Ball practice….

It didn’t sound any better on the radio.

this is brutal
Wow. We're down by 13, guys.
and we don't seem to care, for some reason

did the Jazz write this off as a loss, even though both stars are missing?

Harris' mediocrity is contagious

We need Burks, Tinsley and Evans – the only people not to be tainted by Devin

Yup...this is all Harris' fault.

Not.

That Lin 3 goes down and the roof would have went off the building.

Looked good too.

Sloan is gone, why is Corbin scared of calling TO's?

That run got way out of hand

Why is Corbin scared of playing Burks?
agree... Ty needs to show some pride and some hearth... i think this is the most pathetic effort i've seen from the Jazz ever, getting completely destroyed by a JV team
Hmm.

JTWSUA!

At least we're shooting 80% from the line right now!!!
Gotta get this to 10 or less by half to feel in it...
G-Time just got it to 11.
GORDO!
can he make the FT?????
Do we have more turnovers than points?
Just feels like it...
27-13

in favor of points.

So sad.

On both accounts.

We really have 13 TOs?

Wow.

halfway through the 2nd

smh

Tip for Tyrone: Pushing the pace worked against the Lakers. But it clearly isn't working here.

12 Turnovers in 19 minutes? You’ve got to make adjustments.

neither did forcing it in the post
that would seem to be obvious with all of their bigs out right?
Tebow > Millsap and Jefferson playing together
Let's guard Lin going to the hoop.. give him a jumper, at least see what happens
Al's gotta recognize we've gotta player under the hoop on that double
I hate that Gordo missed those shots.

But even more I hate that Al missed Gordo cutting to the hoop wide open.

Hey, look! An offensive set that resulted in points!
This is worse than I expected the Jazz to play before the season started

No offensive movement
No defensive rotations at all (what happened to our awesome D from the first couple of weeks???)
And just way, way too many easy TO’s

We left the awesome D at the ESA.
Lin is everything we need Harris to be
paul is killing me
something is wrong with him

Flopping around like a dead fish – really strange

if that's the case, take him out
Lin for Jefferson

Straight up.

f*cking Lin looks like the second coming of Magic... wee need to stop this, is just plain stupid
i'm so so so so pissed
ugliest game ever?
College games are way better than this BS
Ty had better be throwing some chairs at halftime.
I might be!
I think Boler is a little too excited to be in NYC...

Every time he talks about the city it sounds like he is going to need to change his shorts.

Sweet lay in by Harris
Nifty move, Devin.
Sick harris lay up there
Is 'Sap a Pats fan?

Maybe he is just depressed today?

no show man

Hells this is MSG man . . .

What would explain the week and a half before that?
Sap is in quite the shooting slump
I'm not saying we should guard Steve Novak...
please take Sap out, he is killing us on both ends
Their passes look so bad

…why are they working?

Getting our teeth kicked in by Jeremy Lin, Steve Novak, and Bill Walker.

Is this a bad joke?

that is a bad joke
38 point half
Honestly...

Is this the lowest scoring half for the Jazz this whole season?

Whoever said that they look hungover was right on the money.

moni

Will have a classic post tomorrow – killer idea – to a pathetic showing

Lin with 9 and 7

wtf

More than our entire team has
so much for my prediction Harris

Would shut down Lin #showsomeeffinpride

i've said this like 10 times already, but Ty needs to do something

the team is playing without the slightest sign of effort, he needs to keep these guys acountable.

on a secondary note… Sap has been awfull, completely…. if he’s playing like crap, we need to bench him

Uuuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhh

I don’t think this play is even worthy of a booing.

Oddly reminiscent of the Warriors game a couple of years ago

When we got blown out by d leaguers

The Knicks are basically a D-League squad right now
Yes , but their ivy league all stars are obviously capable of using advanced science and math

To destroy us

This is why cj should have gone to college
Where does this halftime box score rank

on the all-time list of pathetic Jazz halftime box scores?

I can't wait to draft Kendall Marshall!!
Start this second half with Watson and the kids.
we need Harris-Hayward-CJ-Favors-Al to start
We're getting killed by scrubs, why not play our "scrubs"

in Burks, Evans, and Tinsely?

Ty still don't know if they got ball skills.
well our starters clearly dont have ball skills

tonight, at least

Sap went from playing like an MVP candidate

to playing like a 6th woman of the year WNBA candidate

This is by far the most frustrating game to watch this season :(

agree... i'm so mad right now
Don't disrespect DeWanna Bonner like that.

Yeah I googled it.

Liar.

That is knowledge you already had.

Not that there’s anything wrong about that.

Look at my history and I will prove you wrong.

Not sure how a #5 pick in the draft would be a 6th woman of the year for three years straight but hey the WNBA has pulled it off.

this thread is indicative of how the Jazz are playing
If you can't stay positive, stay out of the thread lol
Millsap! Throw that up and get me a foul!
Wait wait wait. Was that Raja shooting the T?

Since when do we let Raja shoot at all?

this might be a turning point for this team and this season

will we fold on the road, or will we stand up to the challenge?

I love thread forecasting
Stay down and fake it Harris.

Lets get Watson going.

Hayward wants to win this

We just need to start getting more stops. That was a good step in the right direction by Harris

Hayward is going to need a big night to carry this team.
Of course Devin hustle turns to crap.
Novack

Jazz Killer for this game

Insert Kanter to punch him in the face.
who on earth is supossed to be guarding Novak?
no-one

Jazz don’t defend outside of the arc

ESPN has him as a SF

So Hayward probably.

Pure 3 point shooter gets open shot. He's on 13 points.

Next play down the floor: Same guy has no-one within 5 feet of him. Luckily doesn’t get passed the ball.

But seriously, what are the coaches doing? The Knicks don’t have many tricks. They shoot the 3 and occasionally get a lucky drive. Guard the bloody 3 ball.

Love the big guys going up quickly with the ball.
Smart pullup Gordo!

Love it

WHITE MAN SHOOT OUT
How many offensive fouls is that?

By far the most I have seen all year. It is getting a little silly now.

That wasn't meant as a reply, but whatever.
Great hustle Devin...

Like his energy

Raja...no more shooting, no more lay ups, no more defense

What good are you anymore?

Bavetta just saved us a layup on the offensive flop
is it just me, or is Lin pushing with his arm as he dribbles an offensive foul every time?
didn't notice until you pointed it out

but yeah

he just did it again!

usually rook’s get every call against them. why does Lin get special treatment?!

Why is Jefferson playing so far forward on the key?
Gord is making things happen tonight...
Too bad everybody else isn't feeding off on it.

Come on Ty, make a sub. Obviously Miles/Burks and Watson play better with Hayward, especially when he is in this type of game mode.

Big Al wasting Hayward's effort there
Hayward is going it all

Big Al is just being a ball hog. I don’t care that most are going in, he’s playing the offense that loses us games. We win when we pass.

B-E-A-Utiful ball movement
Jazz needs to make those 3s
Jazz need to make ANY 3's
Timeout! Sub! Something Ty! Do SOMETHING!
Thank you Knicks.
I don't think Ty is there....

It’s Karl in a Corbin suit

no wonder tha pants are so baggy.
We can win this game!
I would put CJ in, and take Bell out
So when is Burks allowed to play?

Other than injury and garbage time, is Burks allowed to play this year? It’s not like the people above him on the depth chart are playing any good tonight.

I don't really want to talk about it.

I am fairly irrational about this kind of thing.

High five's to fans after an f'ing jump shot?

We better come back and win this damn game!

Jazz hanging around

Comeback coming, right?

Just hope we don't "blow our wad" as Coach Johnson would say

trying to get back in this game. Need some energy in the 4th.

hopefully that's what our bench can do
Our 3 point defense is still non-existent
If Jeffries doesn't stop this flopping crap

Someone should give him a REAL offensive foul

I know a Big Turkey who could help with that
hey bright spot

we are shooting 86 percent for fts.

And just like that 'Sap goes 1/2
and favors, never saying bright spot again

ever…

LOL... live and learn!
You're jinxtastic.
I thought they were calling another offensive foul on Favors.

I was about to lose my mind.

Were only d0wn 6. Should we panic?
RAJA NOVAK!
ALI / FRAZIER
Tatiana Ali/Frazier Crane

maybe

FRESH PRINCE!

She was hot when I was 11

i'm glad you didn't say when she was 11
I bet she was though....
Fire it Raja

Wait, what?

Anyone notice that the Jazz are actually running off ball on offense this quarter?

It’s unbelievable that something so simple could stifle this team for 24 minutes

Thank goodness for Sidney Lowe's magical halftime suit.
When the core action of your offense is off-ball movement and screens

it makes perfect sense ;)

Feeling very good now
Who do we start in the 4th?
Kanter, CJ, Watson, Favors, Howard, most likely...
No Hayward

Or is he playing too good?

You just asked would would start..

He played the whole third. Let’s see… damn, I was dead on. Go me.

Its Hayward!

Get him a footlong and mountain dew. He be ready to go.

not so good last play, we could've done better i think
SHOOT IT ENES!
Kanter...what up with that rookie?
Nice D, tough luck on a bad CJ shot
Hate that shot by CJ..

don’t even care if it went in.

Did Lin just pull a Boozer 'AND 1!'
Punch him in the face.
lol just saw the @tribjazz tweet about Jeremy Lin stock on NBATV
Just makes me think of @FakeTribsBTS
there's a real BTS?
HAHAHA!

You win.

sure have been a lot of Offensive fouls
Earl doesn't have his usual energy, imo

Hope it picks up.

i think

were gonna run out of fouls to give very early

Burks over Howard please
Lin has been playing really well.

But he has 7 TOs.

Just fired up the feed...

What’s our summary so far? In 15 words or less.

Knicks started D-League. We decided to suck it up.
no melo or a'm'a'r'e?
Amare out with death in family. Melo started then left shortly after with injury.
First half ugly: too many TOs. Running out of time to catch up.

Bench stinks.

Lack of effort, and not taking care of the ball.
this unit has no offense at all
I don't think it's legal to ask for Devin Harris right now, is it?

#loveyouEarl

Dick Bavetta gets off calling offensive fouls, doesn't he?
At that age...

I mean… whatever works right?

Hey, it's starters time.
kanter gets called for an offensive foul

for that shoulder jab, but lin does it on every play and doesn’t get called?

So are these refs Giants fans or something?
No carmelo and stat. H0w cud we l0se!
Favors and Kanter might kill Lin before the game is over.
I liked Howard early in the year.

But it has faded. I hate that he takes minutes when Burks gets a DNP.

It's not like he is superior to Burks or CJ

He’s just a bit more of the same.

I like Howard, but I don’t like him when he’s not playing at an elite level

The MVP chants kill me
I actually like it.

I hate it when Lakers fans do it for Kobe. I like it for Lin. Makes me laugh.

Back to the turnovers

Haven’t enjoyed watching this game at all tonight guys.

1. Because we haven’t played well
2. Because the starters have had way too many minutes and I’d rather watch the younglings lose than the starters grind out a win
3.Because we’re playing a team who’s best player is JEREMY LIN and we are LOSING.

All of the above?
i can't stand losing... even if we are playing the young guys.... not against these Knicks smh
Good going Shumpert with the CJ shot
smh at the reference...
Lin has Bobby Hurley's haircut
The 'my barber forgot to pay the power bill' do.
You do need to put the ball in the basket to score.
oh, that wasn't a foul on Millsap, not at all

you suck Bavetta

No, everybody under the basket with three opposite players and playing jumpball twice gets no fouls.

Learn your basketball.

Damnit

Devin needed that one

Freak. No Jazzman even moved on that shot.
I probably said a different word.
I've had to censor a lot of the posts on here

This is a swear-inducing game

When the Jazz play great

it’s also swear-inducing for me.

Different emphasis though.
gross basketball
GET A REBOUND BIG AL YOU USELESS POST SCORER YOU
Are you kidding me?

He actually froze for three seconds because he couldn’t believe he was that open.

I would much rather have a blowout loss with the young guns

than watch another terrible second of this game

10000% agree

Too bad Ty doesn’t

time out coach
We must have a lot to use, don't think Ty has called one all game
lin

gets more and1 calls than MJ

Oh Devin

Make a GD shot

How about a FT?
Oh Paul

Made a GD shot

What's wrong with Sap?
He doesn't want to be an all-star?
he's blind from having gotten poked in the eye earlier

he just hasn’t tol anyone bc that’s not how he rolls.

i don't know but he's driving me insane
Just arrived, doesn't look pretty
It wouldn't be the Jazz if we couldn't beat one of the league's best teams one day

and lose to one of the worst the next.

Thats Jazz Basketball
Been like that forever.
What, the Knicks aren't in first in the East?
ESPN would have you think so
Geez the music is loud at MSG

#talkaboutanythingotherthanthisterriblegame

Burks, Evans...
Have to wait until it is for sure out of hand.

We wouldn’t want them to get any meaningful minutes.

This game is over...

Sorry to be a downer but God they look horrible

Especially when it's 5-on-8
The calls have not gone the Jazz's way.

But the effort hasn’t been there. We deserve to lose. The Knicks don’t deserve to win though.

gotta give them credit for playing with way more energy than us
its time to bring it back....

#freealecburks

I like how Matt says giving second chance points is the problem tonight.

When we are losing, isn’t it always? Second chance points, bad shooting, and letting guards get in the lane at will.

matt>wikipedia
You could make a poster of that and use it throughout the year
I hate allowing late game offensive rebounds to the Knicks; it's the Knicks for crying out loud!
Jazz aren't winning this game because of missed shots all over ther place and lack of execution...

That being said, these are the most ticky tacky refs I have ever seen?

like that right there for instance??? Al had him boxed out?
Dear Ty,

You need scorers in this game. Why do you draft Alec Burks, 19 PPG in college, leading scorer for CU the past two years and let him sit?

Explain yourself.

chance to cut it to 6 here...

don’t leave yet.

Dear king.nothing,

Burks needs to learn by sitting on the bench and seeing how we play basketball here in Utah.

Ty

GET BACK N THE BACK, DAMNIT!
Dear Ty,

What is this the WWE and they need to learn how to flop? I see Raja got that down.

Games over

give the kids some damn burn Ty!!!

I'm out... Sorry.

At least we’re not New Jersey. Or the Patriots.

You get to ask Coach Ty one question after the game. What is that question?
What did you think about seeing your team come back from 10 down in the final 3 minutes to win?
Never mind...

How about… why didn’t someone knock Lin down and erase his smug smile?

Who would you prefer to use your two lottery picks on?
Are you as eager as I am...

… to see Devin Harris shipped out, Ty?

Also

showing this crowd some Early Oops would cement Evans in the Dunk Contest

gross

This is the kind of game that ups your lottery odds. More of games like this and we’ll be lottery bound like half the people in here are clamoring for…

Well if it would mean that we get an elite PG....

I’d take it.

Bavetta just came
Jefferies needs a blade in the gut for his flopping ways
Let's never talk of this game again

All the good things Ty has done as Coach have meant nothing tonight. I know the players have played a big role in this loss, but I’ve been extremely unimpressed with the Jazz’s adjustments at the half, their defensive rotations, their offensive sets and most importantly – the absolutely terrible use of the bench.

/endrant
Gotta go chill out somehow

this game,

made me sad

Nice try, Hayward.

Not nice try, Jazz.

Can't I just see Burks for 1 min?

pleas ty?

That's a body foul on Chandler

Lin gets that call.

You got to expect a little home cooking
Worst game of the season.
By Far

I’ll take those blowouts over this anyday.

At least we tried in the GSW blowout.

This was complacency.

Losing to the Lakers opening night like we did was worse imo.
Hayward, you played great tonight.

Sorr the rest of the team didn’t follow suit.

If only we had 5 Hayward's...

(And 0 Howard’s)

I think a Fesenko might be nice, too.
Don't get crazy, it's one loss.
I've said this when we've won, as well.
Need a 3 pointer to have a chance

Al takes a long spot up jumper

Sums up the game really. Trash.

I w0nder what w0uld Nba headline looks like.
Knicks beat some 2nd rate small market team that didn't show up
See you guys tomorrow

hopefully it won’t be so infuriating.

Yuck.

Oh well… quick turnaround tomorrow. Gonna leave work early so I can get home. See you all then.

I'm gonna forget about this game and move on
