Houston Rockets - Utah Jazz Game Thread.

[nuraman00]

The triple header became a double header due to too many players from Memphis sitting out.

Going to watch this game, then Cleveland-San Antonio (or however much is remaining of that).

 

[nuraman00]

Very good start and defense, 4-11 in the 1st.

Hayward is playing today after missing the last game due to injury.

 

[nuraman00]

Elijah Millsap fouls Harden on a drive near the rim.

 

[nuraman00]

Is Gobert the new Dwight Howard?

That's a good person to live up to, but I'd rather he be the next Ben Wallace. Because Ben Wallace's defense was even better!

 

[nuraman00]

Gobert has 10 rebounds in the quarter. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that.

 

[nuraman00]

23-28 after the 1st.

Gobert with a 10 points, 10 boards, 1 block.

I want the defense to be even better, avoid a couple more fouls.

Hayward has 7 points, 2 assists, but I don't think he's been as impactful as his line suggests.

Nothing remarkable about Exum so far.

Nice U-Verse commercial with Quin Snyder and his daugther.

Hayward-Rudy pick and roll.

Rudy salutes after the dunk.

 

[nuraman00]

40-49, 1:05 left.

"Who wants to come down and salute Rudy? I do."

 

[nuraman00]

43-51 halftime. The game should be closer. The Jazz didn't play that well in the 2nd quarter.

Official review to see if Hayward got fouled before the halftime buzzer.

Hayward is ruled as getting fouled.

He makes both.

43-53.

I'm not really feeling Hayward, even though he has 9 points, 4 assists. His offense wasn't that impactful. And he didn't guard Harden, even though Harden shot poorly.

 

[nuraman00]

Sexual Favors blocks Harden for his 98th block of the year.

 

[nuraman00]

I'm still not feeling Hayward. He has 23 points, but they're on broken plays.

I want to see him create his shot more, and I want to see him guard Harden.

And he's not getting those driving assists from other games.

 

[nuraman00]

Jazz have held 14 straight opponents to under 100 (longest in the NBA this year).

Jazz have outrebounded their opponent for 15 straight games (longest in the NBA this year).

 

[nuraman00]

This was a good team win. But poor individual games outside of anyone other than Gobert.

I made this remark to my dad about Gobert's performance in the game: How great is a player's performance when a teammate scores 29 points and seven assists and is clearly not the MVP?

Thanks.

This is the first time I've heard you mention talking about Jazz games with your dad.

Nice U-Verse commercial with Quin Snyder and his daugther.

So that is Snyder in the U-Verse commercial, right?

Because I saw it today during the Detroit-Portland game. Not sure why they'd show a U-Verse commercial featuring Snyder, for that game.

@MHSL, do you know the one I'm talking about?

 

[nuraman00]

Nice U-Verse commercial with Quin Snyder and his daugther.

Ok, I found the U-Verse commercial I asked about a few months ago.

So this isn't Snyder then, is it?

Nope, not him, but good resemblance - will only strike people who've warched him.
