Comments about ‘Utah Jazz need to figure out a way to stop Phoenix veteran Steve Nash’

Jazz are in a win/win dilemma- if they win, they get to go to the show and lose 4 straight games to the Spurs again. If they lose, they receive a lottery pick- hopefully for a guard who can defend and assist/run the team so that they can beat teams like the Suns and Spurs.

The Jazz have the horses to get it done, time to step up and execute on every possession.

Making Nash work is the key. Question is will the Jazz do it. It has to start from the opening tip. Corbins sub management will tell the tale. Go Jazz!!!!!!!!!!!

It is obviously a proven mistake to believe Harris or Tinsley can guard Nash. How has that worked out this season? We are 0-2.

It is time to try something different. Remember what Atlanta and some other teams did to Deron Williams by guarding him with Joe Johnson and other bigger 2 guards? It did not stop Deron but it had enough of an effect to beat us.

We need a longer Hayward and Carrol to tag team guarding Nash. We need to see if longer taller players can bother his passing and shooting.

Harris can't fight through screens worth squat.

The other big factor is Gortat in the high pick and roll. He eats Jeffersons lunch because AJ is incredibly lazy guarding the pick and roll. He does not show on the screens and makes it impossible for our PG's to recover. Favors defense on the pick and roll puts Jefferson to shame and Faovrs should be guarding Gortat.

AJ ought to be embarrassed about his play against Gortat. He got beat down the floor last game about 4 times by Gortat for layups.

Its no coincidence AJ has never led a team to the playoffs.
