Nov.5 game thread: Utah Jazz (0-3) at Brooklyn Nets (1-2)

[The JKidd Kid]

With all this talk of playing the starters more minutes, shouldn't you worry about their legs come playoff time?

We don't want the starters to play more minutes, we want them to play more minutes TOGETHER to build chemistry.

Come on brooklyn residents. This could be the last time we have this team so fill the damn arena. I don't like seeing the arena empty like this.. And I have to listen to that dreaded piped in chant with a half empty arena.

Man, Lopez is really putting on all the near-offensive fouls against Kanter. Elbow into the chest on the first shot, hooking and baiting into a foul on the missed shot.

Brook made that but Paul was wide open and that's where brook needs to develop. Overall the nets energy is great right now but can they sustain it. And blatche better play defense or he better sit his ass down if he won't.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Brook needs to play like this every damn game. He's getting great position, and not being a softie, although he was on that first field goal attempt of the game where he didn't go up strong and dunk it.
If he can actually be consistent for once he can carry us in the first half, and establish an inside out game that will be deadly.

[mrpibb]

Yeah, Kanter was not the problem against Lopez, coach.

EDIT: Brandon Rush sighting!

Joe Johnson sucking on defense again ..

Stop with that piped in chant ffs

Joe needs to start picking it up . Dude has been a scrub for 3 games..

[mrpibb]

Joe Johnson's still in the league?

[It's A VC3!!!]

Here we go with all the subs..

[El Kabong]

Jazz coughing up the ball way too much so far. Not handling the Nets defensive pressure at all.

Exactly. I think Kevin or Kidd told me to stop shooting jumpers and to be a force Downlow. He's been so dominant down there

It's really obvious Rush played his first five-on-five scrimmage yesterday.

Only have a couple ball handlers on the team.

That's the worst foul in nba history

No, it's not. There was contact. It was not a foul, but at least it had contact.

EDIT: I don't think Alec Burks knows how long an NBA quarter is.
EDIT #2: I don't think he practices his free throw shooting.
