Game Thread: Hornets @ Jazz

If X is in the NBA next year, I'll be surprised. I don't know if its work ethic or a deer in the headlights kind of thing, but he has not gotten better.

Why did Gordon get taken out?

gordon had some words with monty...monty told him to sit on the bench

Who is X?

gordon loses the ball too much

Is Gordon hurt? I saw him favoring his left side/hip going into the half. Now Darius is out there early in the 3rd.

What reason is there to take Davis out...

Man X has some terrible luck lol.

Is Gordon hurt?

What day is it?

Fatigue maybe?

Vasquez could be quite a legitimate SG in this league...

Operation Tank is in full effizeck.

Ryno is 0-9... he's hit a wall.

Holy cow - Monty Williams just went at Eric Gordon in a BIG way - yelling screaming and charging at him. #NOHatUTA

I am not sure I have ever seen an NBA coach go after one of his players for that long a period of time. #NOHatUTA"

Fatigue with 5 minutes left in the quarter? I doubt that.

Good.

Wonder what Monty told Gordon. Wonder how Gordon will react (maybe come up lame for a week)?

Tank is in full effect

Hoping somebody asks him postgame what happened. FSNO will probably just brush it under the table

Look how close to the baseline the first row of seats is in Utah's arena. Man I wish we were like that.

Have David Wesley and what's his name said anything yet? Or John Deshazier?

That's a understatement. They haven't even mentioned Gordon.

Entergy Solitions is a great arena. Been to a few Hornets Jazz games there. Being public enemy #1 there is intense.

I feel like Wesley and Meyers are purposefully ignoring gordon situation. Wesley right there said "4 of the 5 starters have played well" then kinda stuttered (obviously thinking of gordon) and then kinda said something else.

I really like their set up. I've always wished the fans were on top of the court more in our Arena. Just way to much room seperating the fans from the court.

I get scared every time Davis jumps into the crowd. Chris Paul flashbacks.

Is it ok to imagine if greivis was as athletic as Aminu lol

NO!!! Then you have to come back to reality.

Monty needs to be careful as to what he says, if anything. Gordon has little trade value already, he cannot damage it any more.

The seats at ESA are right on top of each other. And the fans are rude. So if you come in as a fan of another team it makes for great trash talk...unless you went to 3 games where the hornets were up and lost in the 4th qtr when CP3 allowed himself to be DWills *****.

Had no help from the bench whatsoever. And it really irks me that we have a team that is so young but just refuse to run when we have some guys that can do so. I really think if Monty would push the pace it could do wonders as far as offense.

Thats why I really think a PG like Burke would be a great pick.

Was it just me or was that the emptiest arena with a reported crowd of over 18,000.

Yeah, I think that is more Monty than the players.

Derrick Favors had 6 blocks tonight, to go with 10 boards and 10 points. Al Jefferson was on the court longer and managed 14 points, 5 rebounds.

This is why Jefferson is on his way out in Salt Lake.

Energy Solutions fits about 20,000, but the upper bowl looked mostly empty and the lower bowl had a bunch of patches.

Yeah, that crowd was terribly overstated. I would bet there was no more than 14,000-14,500 there.

I mean running a half court offense is good if you have veteran high IQ guys thats ran it for years and knows how to exploit the holes in the defense with it. But in order for a young team like this to win or really compete you gotta let them use their athleticism more. Let them boys run and gun a little.

this is far from the silliest thing I have heard around here....

Anyone got a video of Monty going crazy at EJ? Missed the game.

food for thought.....you have this guy who is supposed to be your "cornerstone" and you go in another direction? might be worth remembering....

I made a post earlier in the game about how much time we waste trying to find the "PG" after rebounding the ball. You really don't see other teams doing that. Grab the board, get it to someone who can handle the ball, and advance the ball. If you can't get a easier look, then find your PG and get into a set.
