Jazz/Pelicans game thread

DC is the man.
How in the hell does he not get more burn?
He instantly makes the team better when he's on the floor.

Jazz down by 7. DC & Favors check in....swing it into a 6 point lead.
Then....DC & Favors yanked. Lets see.....

Just stunning isn't it?

The starting unit goes out at the end of the first with a 7 point deficit, comes back in with 3 minutes left in the 2nd and an 8 point lead, and now it is 2 points at the half.

The box score right now is ridiculous. Jefferson -13, Hayward -13, Foye -13, Mo -7... DMC +15, Alec Burks +15, Jamaal Tinsley +9, Paul Millsap +6.

Mo looks like ass out there. Foye brings nothing when he's not hitting, and he's not hitting. Jefferson isn't getting the ball, so what good is he?

IF ever there was an "I told you so moment" for most Jazz fans this is ...another one. Seems like we've seen this story a few times before haven't we?

Fans notice & appreciate the play of those guys too. Did you hear the reception DMC got when he checked in?

Hornacek notices too. Did y'all hear his half time comments? He said, "we build a decent lead and then a few guys check back into the game and make some mistakes and blow it for us."

Greivis Vasquez is doing a great job in his audition to become Utah's starting PG next season.

Probably a lot of truth to that. Whether he knows it, or not.

Hell of a game from the Jazz 3 bigs. Millsap 20/10 and 7 assists, Jefferson 7-11 FG's and 3 steals, Favors 10/10 and 6 blocks.

Stat of the night, and this isn't exact, but Locke reported that the Hornets were something like 4-25 with Favors on the court. He was dominant tonight.

Except for the fact that he's not a free agent until 2014. Good luck prying him away from them this summer, Priority #1 for them will be moving Gordon so they can keep Vasquez.

Oh, Gordon's the kind of guy who needs to play in LA. He's pretty much too good for New Orleans, which is amazing since he's never done anything.

The Lakers should totally trade Gasol for Gordon. They could get anointed all over again next year!!

Good point. I think I was thinking of the other Latino PG, Calderon that is a free agent this summer.

BTW, when Harp said in the 2nd quarter:
"Well, Carroll and Burks and Favors are giving Coach Corbin what he wanted.",
I thought
"O rly? Corbin WANTED to be made to look like an oblivious, stubborn, idiot for not using this rotation for 70 games instead of 5?"
