Game 27: Pacers 104, Jazz 84
Posted by: TACOREV on December 19th, 2012
The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of the Utah Jazz.An 8-point second quarter — that’s right, EIGHT points — dooms the Jazz in Indianapolis, dropping them to 5-11 on the road and 14-13 overall.
Three Pacers breached 20 points, led by Gerald Green’s 21. Paul George and George Hill each added 20.
Favors led the Jazz with 16 & 9. The blowout gave Burks a chance off the bench, where he scored 12 points in 14 minutes.
Millsap, Jefferson, and Foye went a combined 6-of-25 for 18 points.
A 52-28 deficit in the paint. That’s almost double. Sickening.
Realistically though, we should have all seen this coming. This Jazz team is on a fairly predictable cycle of solid and putrid performances. They can hardly have a great showing without an equal (or greater) amount of letdown games.
1-1 on the road trip so far, off to the Sunshine state to finish it up. At Miami Saturday, Orlando Sunday.
Jazz player of the game: Derrick Favors

He’s….A…..Veteran…
Tonight our VETERAN starting lineup straight dominated the Pacers with a combined 35 pts. COMBINED, in 114 minutes of playing time they were well oiled machines with another combined -131 efficiency rating.
Oh and that guy that has a season full of DNP’s because hes not a veteran and doesnt deserve time because he hasnt proved anything in his career … scored 12 points in 14 min. So… to me its confusing when a player that gets DNP’s can come in and score as much as our ENTIRE STARTING VETERAN LINEUP!!
I agree with your player off the game.
Its a good thing we have all these veterans while we try to rebuild after the DWill era, who can scrape us into the playoffs, where we get swept in the first round all while not getting a lottery pick and not developing our young talent.
This is working great.
I seriously love right now the fact that Locke in his Emptying the Noggin states the reason we lost is not because of effort. They are just better! Hahahahaha the Pacers are the third WORST offensive efficiency team in the league. In that first half they scores what 55? That is nothing else but a lack of effort. We have had way to may teams that suck on the offensive end score on us. Ever since we traded Kosta Koufus we have been bad defensively.
How many games have we had like this? Whether we ended up winning vs the Wizards or have had these crap losses it has been a lot! Where we just do not show up! It is getting old
I agree Dallan. I liked Locke when he was less biased to Ty and FO.
Its hard being a jazz fan right now…if i lived in utah i would get a ticket right behind the jazz bench and let corbin hear his garbage ass coachinh skills. Damm man who wants to hire black coaches after seeing smart, gentry, corbin flubbing away like idiots. WE have talent on this team but man we are garbage because a coach cannot utilize his players. GS doesnt have as much talent as us and dammit they are playing great basketball because “mama there goes that man” mark jackson is a better coach. Oh and they are winning with rookies and young players lmfao.
1. corbin is treating heyward like shyt with his short leash and foye jefferson watson etc has a long ass leach.
2. i dont see steve novak playing 30min per game just to shoot threes. (draft bust foye is doing that).
3. Management better do something fast because they have no nads.
4. NOOOO one on the jazz can beat their man like burks other than mo.
5. i feel like slapping the shyt outta corbin
6. WHO the hell is chase with those riduculous comments and is hell bent on a mediocre jazz team. you cannot be a fan especially with that trade u wanted.
7.Did you see burks breaking down defense last night and dishing off some nice passes while in the air.
8. Burks and kanter/favors played a hell of a pick and roll game.
9. Gerald Green and augustine looked like stars.
10. I AM 100% POSITIVE THAT THIS TEAM WOULD BE GREAT WITH THE CORE 4, EVANS , WILLIAMS, JYD. THATS MEANS EVERYONE ELSE MUST GO.– that means you watson, tinsley, even foye, jeffeson, still iffy on milsap because he’s clearly frustrated and would be better without jefferson playing with him.
Utah Jazz has now jumped into the train of the teams that DO NEED a trade to improve. 8th seed is the limit right now, which means “nothing”.
I am all for a blockbuster Millsap + Jefferson + Bell + Burks (sorry can’t see him as a typical jazz player) trade to the lakers / raptors / Wolves / or whatsoever.
Something has to happen. That will be the christmas gift jazz nation desserves.
I WANT RICKY RUBIO…SO BAD… He would make Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter look like the twin towers (Tim Duncan and David Robinson) back in the old days. Could you imagine how much more fluid our offense would be. Ugh, I want…we NEED a pass first point guard like a Rajon Rondo, like a Ricky Rubio, like a Steve Nash… I say we get a pick from the Wizards and get us a PG!!!
Amen, printz11!!!
Its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. What has Jazz FO and Corbin done over the past 2 and a half years to make us believe Jazz are going to do anything differently?! If Jazz do make a trade it will probably be trading away Burks and Kanter for some mediocre vets. Corbin will get new multi year contact. I have ZERO faith in KOC and Corbin, so perpetual mediocrity for Jazz.
@Omar, I say we get a trade to free us of all these worthless big guys, finish the season with Corbin, then have Dennis Lindsay hire a Stan Van Gundy or a Mike Brown. Someone who will get it done!!!
I want Rubio too!!
another fun stat from last nights game. Neither Burks or Favors had 1 turnover. Zero. Thats not really loose cannon balling. Theyve earned play time.
Agreed Adam! Mike Brown might make the Jazz into one of the best Ds of all-time!
Great point Jazzed upon it! Burks looked relaxed was making the right play had a sweet bounce pass to Favors for a dunk but missed. Burks runs the floor better than anyone on jazz! Needs to play.
How does a guy get fired twice from coaching and people still want to hire him and say he could do great things for us?? You gotta be kidding me right? great coaches don’t get fired.
@noneyadb, Cleveland fired Mike Brown because LeBron left and they were really, REALLY starting over… LA fired him because they are so idiotic that when they lose a few games due to the egos and mismatching playing styles, they blame their coach. Mike Brown is will respected and a great coach!
You always forget to mention how crappy CJ 2.0 does. Another stellar performance from Hayward. Like I said One half way decent game and four terrible ones……
Jazzman crawling out of his hole to dis on Hayward again.
