    What I can't believe is how fast he recovered his dribble and launched in the air. OMG

    That was so sick and demoralizing, i didn't even bother watching the 2nd half. I knew we were going to win easy thereafter, but didn't think we could blow them out by almost 50 lol.

    lol, I was listening to the Jazz announcers and it was complete silence. Like c'mon, I know it was against your team but that was impressive

    If I was listening to our crew while we were getting blown out and their tone didn't reflect the butt-kicking our team was receiving, I'd be annoyed. Not sure what exactly you have in mind, but I certainly wouldn't want them cutting jokes.

    I thought the Jazz announcers did a very good job, all in all. Only watching from the end of of the first half, though.

    It's not about making jokes. I'm talking about doing some analysis. Talk about things that can be improved and which are just a product of bad luck. Doing actual play by plays instead of having a ton of dead air time. Talk about how the youngsters look and what they did in practice(when the scrubs were in). There are a lot of stuff you can say to fill the air, even if it is a blowout.

    Why would you get excited about another team's player?

    Would anyone on this board get excited if Gordon Hayward did the exact same thing to us?

    No.

    Where's that guy that was constantly on Clutchfans hating on James Harden saying he makes his teammates worst and is a selfish player and the Rockets are better off without James Harden? I think his username is pointguard something... Just saying :)

    Yup, Harden has that deceptive athleticism... He will fool defenders if they're not ready for him coming in. His explosion was just ridiculous. But again, his vertical is higher than Blake Griffin so he can really get up..

    What a dunk by James... I think that dunk alone took the energy right out of the Jazz...

    Definitely agree. To Durvasa, compare it to Bill Worrell's call when McGee had that nice pass to himself against us. Even though we were getting worked Worrell still gets up for a big play which I can appreciate as a basketball fan.

    That's how a commentator should call a great play regardless of who's making it, I think that was meh's point and I agree with him. Jazz announcers are crap.

    Listening on the radio I thought the guy was overstating how great the dunk was. I was wrong, just plain filthy.

    No kidding, I was watching the feed and I must have looked away for a split second. The only way I knew about the dunk is that I read about it on twitter lol. Stupid Utah feed.
