Tyreke is not finishing at the rim well, we all know that. But I don't think people realize that on most of those misses there is usually a solid amount of contact.

For those of you with Dish Network and the Regional Sports package you can still get the game through the Jazz feed.

I have a hopper and it's channel 412-42

Then he should start flopping

Go Jazz!!!!

(btw, that really should be the name of the Pelicans)

I'm not crazy about the inside matchups tonight sans Asik.... and they might as well start here and figure out how to take 10 shots away from others and give them to AD....

Sigh...me neither. Really missing Asik lately.

If AD is aggressive he could get their bigs in foul trouble.

So apparently the Jazz feed is blacked out for me. . .wtf NBA.

Kanter has some size and some offensive game (midrange and post) like a really really poor man's cousins. Hope Ajinca doesn't get obliterated. Over/Under on how many passes and rebounds he drops?

The Jazz annoucers are talking about Jimmer more than AD

Really hope to see either Gordon or Tyreke with the second unit more tonight. If I have to watch Anderson, Rivers, Salmons, Babbit, and Withey again, it's going to be a long night.

Love how they do a "video preview" with the only two shots he's made this season, lol.

Jazz doing a pregame interview with Jimmer... wow

Wait, there was a 3rd. Maybe my back was turned.

Directv....league pass 762

jimmer gonna drop 50 in utah lol

PELS IN THE LEAD!!!

2-0!

Why do we foul so much?

Ajinca blocks favors!

and tyreke makes his first layup attempt on the other end!!

championship!!!!!!!

Gordon is listed at 6"8 and he's an under rated athlete. Dude posters people with regularity.

We going to let Trey Burke look like a valid player...

holiday with the smooth jumper

AD with the steal

That's a foul on Burke... just held Jrue down to get the block. lol

just checked, gordon measured 6"8 at the combine, and he looks tall, might have even grown.

One man's trash is another man's treasurer.....lol

Is Asik making that much of a difference in our 3pt defense? We were one of the best at defending the 3 to start the year.... just giving away easy shots the past week.

eric gordon with the runner.

So it's going to be one of these games I see.

I think without Asik our guards have to help more vs the bigs, when Asik is in there is no worry and the guards stick to the perimeter. Asik is that good of a defensive player IMO that u don't need to worry about helping him at all. Him and AD are a great tandem. Asik is very under rated.

Eric gordon with the fadeaway, looks like he's getting his mojo back.

AD with one shot and is 1-1
tyreke and jrue are both 1-3

anyone see a problem here?

3 in the key on Ajinca, dude gets like 2 of these a game lol.

AD with the jumper. Like I said, give this man the freaking ball.

correction, make that AD with the AND 1 jumper!

Kanter doesn't have a prayer guarding AD. Force feed him the ball!

eric gordon with another lauyp. 3-3, got his mojo back!!

I think its more of him not getting the ball or plays. Maybe i'm wrong. But vs kanter, kanter has no chance in the high post guarding davis.

3 offensive rebounds in a row. Go AD and Ryno!
