James Harden Slaps Phone of Jazz Fan After Being Called a ‘Flopper’

During their last five games, the Rockets have scored an average of 111.6 points per game (0.6 below their season average) and allowed an average of 100.6 points per game (3.1 below their season average).

Utah head coach Quin Snyder was pleased at his team’s balanced scoring effort on a night in which six players finished in double figures, and he raved about the contribution of Ingles. The Rockets love to run screens with their big men near the three point line.

Well, that just happened. “He loves getting back to that 3”. “Get it going now”. But yeah, just get back in transition defense.

Exum’s foot speed and length made life hard for Harden as he did a great job staying in front and forcing him into some tough shots.

The tale of game one: Harden danced his way around the court, dropping a game-high 41 on a rather exhausted, and ill prepared, Utah Jazz team. “Considering the circumstances, we definitely stole one”, Coach Tyronn Lue said after the game. “Now, he might play bad and that’s because he’s human”.

At one point on Sunday afternoon, James Harden was matched up above the three point line with Utah center Rudy Gobert, the odds on favorite for defensive player of the year in the National Basketball Association.

Mike D’Antoni, asked about Jazz not having an answer for James Harden.

Some compared Mitchell to Spider-man after the play. He was asked what he would try if he had to guard Harden. “I thought he not only made some creative passes, but he made some simple passes that were reflective of him making the right decisions”. I think to stay poised, stick together and just keep executing. Surely, they will shoot better and be more aggressive with a bit more rest.

Well well, the Utah Jazz have made this a series with the Houston Rockets. Against the Timberwolves, we saw lulls and lapses of defensive pressure, which the Jazz should look to exploit.

The Utah Jazz weren’t even expected to be a playoff team entering the 2017-18 season after losing star forward Gordon Hayward in free agency, and went 48-34, tied for the fourth-best record in the Western Conference.

The dunk was so impressive that the reporters covering the game, who normally remain stoic in their objectivity, couldn’t help but react in awe of Mitchell’s ascension.

Had a great time at the Jazz game! As such, big things were expected from the former fifth overall pick this season. They did a good job in the second half.

The Jazz scored 36 points in the first quarter, with Houston struggling to get going after a slow start.

“It makes Donovan handle the ball more than they would like”, Ariza said of Rubio’s injury.
