Burks is not a ballhog just because he doesnt pass everytime he slashes to the hoop doesnt mean he is a ball hog. ISO Joe is a ball hog which doesnt matter because he can score. The Jazz pass the ball way to much Ingles had like 4 TO trying to make the extra pass.

When the rest of our team just shoots jumpers we need slashers. We are seriously lucky the Clippers are dumb they dont take advantage of their superior players.

Who of our young guys has really develped? Quinn doesnt trust any of them. Mack is playing over Exum. Diaw is playing over Lyles. Burks who was a key piece of this team is out of the rotation is done.

Meanwhile, Gordon stiffled by Mbah a Moute is shutting him down. The defense is complete trash without Gobert. Clippers should just post up all of our bigs because without Rudy the inside cant defend.

There's some truth in here.
 
Should have put burks in
 
Truth is the Jazz didn't play with intensity this game, especially in the first half....it didn't seem a playoff game, more a practice game.

Probably they have speculated a bit because they won the first game.

I want to see Exum, Burks and Lyles getting some burn. The Jazz needs easy buckets attacking the rim.

How bout giving the guy a little break. He has hardly played all season and has struggled with knee's and leg injuries. Hard to stay in shape when you have hurt legs. Especially in basketball shape. Add to that he probably didn't figure to get more than 15-20 minutes a night in this first series to try and get in game shape. For all of that he played decent.

Again, the point I'm making is not dogging on him. But what if this is what we get from him now? What then? Just wait it out and hope that the position he plays that essentially determines a team's offensive and defensive strategy with any given lineup figures itself out? At what cost?

I'm going to continue to advocate for prioritizing a defensively-competent 4 that can spread the floor. I might wrong a long-essay about it at some point, but the gist is that there is greater net-value in spacing the floor if you have the right center in most cases, in the cases that the opposite is true, that PF better be bruising and good at using their size and skill to their advantage and/or be a really good defensive player. Favors is neither right now, and hasn't been in quite some time now.

Hahaha, how coincidental that you show up now and not after game 1.

Game 1 was the Clipper fault completely for their lose. We lost Rudy and they never took advantage by attacking our bigs. We got lucky they didnt change their game plan after the Rudy injury. Dont get me wrong I was ecstatic. But, I was hoping that in this game to see some young guys. I knew we didnt stand a chance.

I call the series to go 6 Clippers taking it. Then in the offseason if we dont sign Hayward and Ingles this year is a waste. If we do sign them then much of the youth is going to want off this team. Then hopefully we can pull another Joe Johnson. Meanwhile, teams with young rosters will surpase us. We might get the 7th seed next year.

Damn dude. I think he was just making a comment about how X gets screwed by referees often.

Hayward, Gobert, Hood have all developed. Lyles and Exum the jury is out.

Superior players? They got lucky Gobert went down and the Jazz have been controlling the pace of the series and that was in LA. But nope, must be an LA problem instead of a Utah strength.

Hayward has averaged 19.5 ppg, 8 rpg and 2.5 apg on %s of 100%FT, 42% from 3 and 36%FG Sure his FG% is low and he's in a dog fight but that doesn't look like being shut down to me. Stats don't support that theory either.

Defense? Clippers are shooting 48.5%FG and 31.8% on 3s. Wow, another mixed bag. No disaster? Not "complete trash"?

Jazz have shot 41 FTs to the Clippers 25. So the Jazz are winning that metric as well.

All of this when both games were in LA and it's 1-1. Next two games are in Utah.

There isn't truth here as much as there is the continuation of a years long narrative by this poster of trashing the Jazz at all costs.
