GTS Utah @ Dallas 3/24/13

Ugh, Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013) obviously has no interest in playing DC or Evans, so I'll switch it up...

Who has the best +/- for the Jazz in this game?

jazz by 4 burks

Dallas by 4, Marvin with the best +/-

Dallas by 9, Favors.

JAZZ BY 2

Dallas by 11.
Hayward.

What the hell.

Jazz by 7...with two minutes to go and then they choke it away, missing 3 shots, turning the ball over twice and going 1-4 from the line, eventually, to the delight of the drunken beefsexers in the crowd, losing by 3.

Damn. I can't stand to watch it and it HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET!!

So. Mavs by 3, Kanter with the top +/- in very limited minutes.

Dallas by 9
Burks

Since I'm going to be there today I'll post, here's whats going to happen.

Jazz finally pull it out, Dirk cries enough to get a T.
Kanter gets the best +/-.
I almost get ejected from the arena for harassing Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013).

Jazz win it, 104-99. Hayward with the best +/- (he's gonna go for 22/6/4 with a chase down block)

Mavs 7
burks

Jazz by 6

Millsap

Changing my pick.

I'll still go with Jazz by 6.

But, after thinking about it, I think someone on our bench will have a better +/-. I'll go with Marvin Williams.

UN-be-frickin'-lievable!!

Nice call Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013). Close game for 32 minutes...then the light bulb goes on over Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013)'s head!

"Let's try a lineup of, oh...Jefferson, Millsap, Tinsley, Foye and...umm...Marvin! Who knows? They might make a big run!"

Down 19 now, 7 minutes later.

I hope Mutang gets a punch in.

Unbelievable, just stunning. It's hard to imagine a coach more directly negatively impacting a game than Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013) with his rotations in the second half of this one.

Favors played like crap in this one too.

Ugh. I can't stand it.

After that AWFUL lineup gives the game away (they rebounded like they hated the ball, giving Dallas chance after chance at the end of the 3rd. Nothing more dispiriting than just getting out-worked and turning a close game into a rout.), Burks and Evans come out, and yes...there he is...a Dermarre Carroll sighting!

We trot out guys who, arguably, might just have shown a little more fight instead of giving the game away, and Boller says..."Well, we've got to preserve the starters, got a game tomorrow night THAT MIGHT HAVE TO BE GIVEN AWAY

Yes, we want them to be fresh and able to give the same kind of performance we got tonight. Wouldn't want to have to play anyone else too many minutes. We don't want to have to play Kanter too much and take away Jefferson's minutes. We don't want Foye to be so tired Burks will have to play too much.

We don't want to have the component pieces of Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013)'s Best Lineup unable to replicate THAT MAGICAL F'ING CHEMISTRY THEY HAVE DISPLAYED GAME AFTER LOSING GAME JUST LIKE IN THE 3RD QUARTER TONIGHT.

I mean if the subs play...it could be a disaster like the last half of the fourth quarter.

Games like this have to be the most infuriating thing a Jazz fan can watch. I feel like this game was a microcosm of the season. Take something that is working pretty good, eff it up really bad, fix it after all hope is lost.

I think Jazz fans may tear each other apart if they have to watch 12 more games of this.

That lineup is like comfort food for Ty. Really truly mind-blowing how he thought that was a good idea. The sad thing is that is what he has been doing all season, going with his reflex gut bullheaded instincts instead of daring to be a tiny bit creative much less clever strategic moves. He has one of the best mix and match roster and in-game rotation options in the league, (Nuggets a clear exception), and he spins out that old tired shit...that hasn't worked for months.

Mu was at this game wasn't he...

Bet he lost his mind when he saw Tinsley and Marvin checking in at the end of the third there.

I know the +/- stat isn't much of an indicator of how good players are, and it throws out some especially meaningless stats for single games...

But DAMNIT!! DOESN'T AN ABSOLUTELY CONSISTENT RESULT OVER A HUGE, SEASON-LONG SAMPLE MEAN ANYTHING??

I mean, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, can't explain it, don't like it, whatever...as a coach, don't you have to, oh, I dunno...TRY SOMETHING ELSE?? I don't care if it's your five best players, your most experienced players, the ones you are paying all the money to...if, in combination, they LOSE YOU GAMES...wouldn't any rational, competent coach play other lineups??

It makes me literally ill.

Would have loved to have seen what Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013) would do if the kids had forced overtime.

I was looking to see if somebody attacked Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013) by the bench there. They must've tasered him before he could get there.

Didn't Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013) leave that lineup in for the first few minutes of the 4th too, minus Tinsley? That was the group that got it all the way to a 19 point deficit.

It was actually Tinsley, Foye, Williams, Favors and Jefferson at the end of the third. Millsap came out right before Mo with the Jazz down 5. Tinsley checked in at exactly 3:00 and that group went -7 to put the Jazz down 12 a the end of the quarter. Kanter and Hayward were subbed in at the quarter for Jefferson and Foye, Jamaal played another 41 seconds with those two, Marvin, and Favors and came out with the Jazz down 15 for a grand total of -10 in just a shade under 4 minutes. With Mo back in the lineup they would have been about even if it weren't for the 5 point Goaltending+1+Technical play that ran it up to 19 points.

Then with 7 minutes left and Favors not playing well, after over 6 minutes of game time on the bench, Millsap comes back in for Favors with the Jazz down 21, plays 2 minutes at +3, and with 4 minutes left and the Jazz down 18, Jeremy Evans, Demarre Carroll, and Alec Burks come off the bench and do exactly what they do every time they come off the bench, play hard, score buckets, win matchups.

Thanks, I had company over and was limited in following the game/ranting. I did get to tell a little baby what an idiot Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013) was and got her to shake her tiny, angry babyfist at the TV, though.

Haha, well busted. When Paul was rolling in the third with his hustle, defense/offense, steals, and Al was sucking, I thought for SURE, Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013)'s not going to do that stupid rotation and pull out Paul, right? I mean, no wayyyyy, right????!! And there goes Paul, in comes Tinsley and Marv, I LOST MY FREAKING MIND. People around me were cracking up as I was yelling at Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013). TINSLEY??!!!!! TINSLEY??!! FML!!

I couldn't believe it......No Burks??? Al left in all that time, and Paul out? I mean, it didn't even make sense. Tinsely.....

Well, highlights is I was right by the tunnel for the players. I got DC to sign my DC3 shirt and as I did I told him the fans love him and he's got to stick around next year. His response was "I got you"....soooo, I think he's doing it for me, nice. As all the players left after that game I told Paul/Fav/Kanter/DC to just keep it up and play through Ty Co (former Utah Jazz coach 2011-2013) ( I swear Fav smirked) and as Ty walked out verbatim told him "thanks for nothing again Ty"...hah, so thats about as good as it could get.

i truly though, can't believe how bad Ty f..k.d this up again. Tinsley? No Burks? Paul out.....Foye all those minutes...I just....can't believe it. ........TINSLEY!!!
