68 all in the 3rd.

The Jazz couldn't stop Paul in the 4th. That's of great concern.

And the Jazz got the ball STOLEN a lot too.

Paul, Paul, and Jordan had steals in the 4th. Johnson only the only steal for the Jazz.

If Johnson is to play big minutes in the 4th, he'll have to make plays; steal the ball, and score). He seems to be the most capable to do that as of now.

 

[nuraman00]

I'll make a BOLD Prediction.

Diaw will have a few of the impressive steals kind in this series. I think his length can do it.

I don't know what to think about Ingles' steals. We will see if he gets any big ones in this series.

 

[nuraman00]

Wow, I'm putting a lot on Diaw. A 9+ assist game and impressive steals.

Well, he probably needs to play like that if the Jazz are to win this series.

The only fun I found myself having was when Rudy Gobert was in the game. He didn't do a lot, but you can see how awesome he could be. The kid just dwarfs everyone. My son and I were laughing, making in game commentary with a french accent with his every move.

@Sackataters and his son didn't get to do the French accent during the playoffs. Unless they did a "sacre bleu!" when he got hurt.

Also, impressive that he realized Gobert's potential before any else of us did.

I can just imagine you sitting in the corner watching them. Smiling with your hands together. Creepy. Just kidding.

When my hands were together, were my fingers pressed, pointed upwards? Or did I have my fingers intertwined?

Game 2 is Tuesday night, TNT

7:30 PM PST
8:30 PM MST

 

[nuraman00]

I'll watch the video later, blocked at work.

Did you at least channel sackataters and his family and say "sacre bleu!" when Gobert got hurt? Followed by an "excuse my French" (even though you didn't say any profanity).

 

[nuraman00]

Summary of game 2: Jazz with a wire-to-wire-loss.

 

[nuraman00]

The Jazz have allowed quick scores off made baskets or fast break.

 

[nuraman00]

Jingles misses on the 4-point play.

@MHSL82 would have played the French horn if Joseph Ingles had made the free throw.

 

[nuraman00]

Game 1 and game 3 have the same Paul thing in the 4th.

Jazz need to put a speedier, bigger guy on Paul. It should be Hill. That's why they traded for him.

 

[nuraman00]

Favors dissipates his free throw attempts.

 

[MHSL82]

@MHSL82, did you smile at that Diaw assist to a cutting George?

I saw the one to Hayward... but I like assists in general so I'm easy to please. Let's also say I liked the one to Geotge?

Oops, you are right. It was to Hayward.

Gordon Hayward makes dunk (Boris Diaw assists) 6 - 4

Gobert is starting! Now you have to do these.

TODAY.

 

[nuraman00]

Gobert with 4 quick rebounds before he takes a breather.

Favors comes in and makes an impact.

 

[nuraman00]

Charles Barkley thinks the Jazz have more talent and a better bench.

 

[nuraman00]

I wonder if Diaw could have a 9+ assist game. He's been pretty good at times in the playoffs in his career.

He could do it without being the main playmaker. He is good at either getting the ball high and passing it to a cutter, or getting the ball low and if not attempting his hook shot, passing it to someone.

Wow, I'm putting a lot on Diaw. A 9+ assist game and impressive steals.

Well, he probably needs to play like that if the Jazz are to win this series.

I thought I had added Ingles on the list, along with Diaw. But I see now I only mentioned Diaw.

Anyways, I'll get to the positives later, including the theme of this thread, and how one of the goals happened.

It's just that for someone who puts more on margin of victory, as well as time spent leading, the Jazz didn't do great in either department for game 4.

They trailed most of the game, and needed a well-played late 4th quarter just to win by a few.

It's not a good recipe to win games by trailing for most of the game.

Hence why I don't want to talk about the positives about the game right now, since the Jazz were losing most of the game.

7 assists by Hill!!! Wahooooooooooo!!!!!!! Yeah, he shot 3-12, including 1-7 from downtown, but what the hell. 7 assists!!!!!!!!!!

Why aren't you posting about what somebody did in game 4?
