GTS Utah @ Houston 3/20/13

Multiple Choice:

Which player gets the most minutes?
A) D.C.
B) Evans
C) Neither get a single minute .... damn that Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013)!

Nice Bonus...

Houston by 12, I'm gonna go A, DC gets off the bench in this one.

Rockets +9; A.

jazz by 6

Utah will loose by 7. D.C.

Houston by 22
Evans.

Houston by 15.

C. None of the above.*



*I am picking this to take one for the team. If there is even one fiber of my being that even kind of, sort of wants them to get a DNP-CD, then they will both get minutes. I do want them to get some PT, but if I can trick the basketball gods into thinking that I do not want them to, then they will most certainly do their best to make me unhappy and they will probably cause them to get 15+ minutes each, somehow.**

**I know the asterisk thing is kind of a trollificus trademark. I don't mean to encroach on your territory, troll. I just wondered if I can pull off the "*" as well as you do.***

*** As it turns out, I cannot.

rockets by 14 DC

What the hell happened to the Jazz offense?

This is just horrific to watch.

This team is dead

Just got home from a school activity with my little man. Realized I never made my GTS pick. (Game is being DVRed.) If there are any arguments, I will disqualify my pick.

Houston by 11.
A

Here's my beef of the night, about 4 minutes into the third quarter the first unit is playing even with the Rockets, but they look like they have already lost. Lazy D, bad body language, no energy, blowing easy buckets left and right, Millsap looks like he is playing on one leg...

So why in the hell do you leave them out there? What exactly is the point? These aren't young players that have to learn to play through it, they are veterans, and they have quit, so put their asses on the bench and put somebody out there that wants to play.

Well that was nice of those guys to give the fans something to at least make the nausea go away. That group to close the game was interesting, Hayward was basically playing the point and attacking, Marvin was doing a really nice job on Harden defensively, Burks attacking the basket, Favors protecting the paint, a lot to like about that.

Jefferson and Hayward played the whole second half. Hayward was outstanding, just everything we all hoped he would become. I thought the best thing Jefferson did was get out of the way and let the other guys do the scoring, when he did get it he took it to the basket, and I thought he passed the ball well too.

Mo and Foye were terrible, again.

You mean this off-season? I still would like to keep Millsap. Everybody else over the age of 26 can, and should, go.

I must say, it's awfully generous of Ty Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013) to be featuring his starting soon-to-be-free-agent big men Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson so they can maximize their market value. You guys can't say that Ty Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013) is all bad. At least he has a kind heart.

And he is saving the legs of the Underkanter, DeMarre Carroll, Jeremy Evans, Alec Burks and Derrick Favors so they will still be fresh when they venture off to other teams, disgruntled, in a couple of years. Genius maneuvering!

Houston won by 7
C (not a single minute for either player)



Like Magnus said earlier, what the hell was the point in keeping the starters in there during the 3rd quarter? Most of them looked like they didn't give a damn. So Al made a few wide open 16' J's... so what!?!?. Other than that, he was terrible. Mo is NOT the answer at PG, and Foye has become completely useless. Kanter showed he can just about match Al's offensive production + actually play some D, (Note to Al: "D" is NOT getting out of the way, or just not paying attention when the other team has the ball) yet he can't even get some useful minutes during a blowout? Oh, and thanks AGAIN Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013), for keeping two of your best energy guys on the bench during a game that half the team appeared to be playing in mud.

It's a good thing I'm a life-long Jazz fan, cause if I was a casual fan, or a new fan of the team, I'd probably just give up.
