Jazz square off against them Indiana boys on an Indiana night -- Jazz @ Pacers 3/7/2018 5:00 pm MST

He was the worst defensive player on the team. Does that move your contrarian needle at all?

Joe Johnson was and it's not close. Dont be daft.

 

[Et tu Brute]

Its just dumb playing guys big minutes in a blowout win.

DM had turnovers tonight, he just looked a little fatigued.

Also should be giving the bench some burn just in case there needed at some point.

Yea what was the go with that? Taking them out with about 90 seconds left in a 20 point win???

Hood was dumb and look for his own on offense but who cares he is gone now we got better in Jae Crowder

This team is on its way to being the most loved team ever. All these guys stories, personalities, and effort is great right now. The stark difference in a Gobert and Mitchell are the exact personalities you need leading a team going forward. Gobert has the all business attitude with an attitude he’s the best player on the court and that he’s never satisfied. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like he was happy with a big win. Donovan is very vocal, a great team guy, always cheering, always positive, and shows some serious emotion at times.

I really hope this team makes the playoffs. The future is bright.....and Rudy is absolutly amazing.

Someone should have gone out and ripped that singlet off his back.

My absolute favorite moment of this game was Ingles laughing very loudly at Lance Stephenson getting an offensive foul, the nutjob getting a tech, then seeing Ingles hit the tech.

Pure magic.

He was never some big liability. He was just a guy who would occasionally get beat defensively. This year was an anomaly because he played about 1/6th of his total minutes with Gobert. He actually played w/ Joe Johnson more this year than with Gobert, which really hurt his defensive rating.

Well, Johnson's defensive rating was brought down because he was playing a lot of minutes with Hood, and his defensive TPA was still a lot better. Hood's defense metric was the worst on the team, by a lot, and he didn't play a ton of minutes, so that's not an influencing force.

My 2 bob. Eye test says Hoods defensive issues are overblown. He isnt great but nor is he a huge liability.

 

[David Stern]

Cmon DesNews, step it up... doing articles about former player's parents playing pickup ball? Kinda pathetic. We've all moved on and found an actual superstar.

As Rubio goes so go the Jazz.

If he is hitting that shot we are tough to beat. Imagine if he was an elite finisher (not dunking, but just could make the majority of his drives).

He's really put in hard work, and become a key part of this core. I know that I was starting to give up on him in December. Glad hes completely turned it around.

 

[Revolution 9]

9/10 times he shoots as soon as he catches and there is 14 seconds left on the clock. Thats not good basketball. Im sure he'll get better though.

My friend who is a Boston fan recently commented on Jae.

"Love him as a player, and what he brings. Only negative is that he shoots too much"
