Jazz vs Raptors Game THREAD

[The Fresh Prince]

In all honesty, this is exactly how the beginning of last season felt. A team with no direction and not enough talent to compete. Poor shooting game after poor shooting game until something finally clicked. We're trading easy shots for our opponent with crappy pointless offensive possessions. Nobody looks like they know what to do out there, lost as a blind guy in thick fog...

Ok but at that time Gobert was injured. Yiud think after the team clicked they wouldnt regress back to a lottery team. Lol.

Its actually easy to guard us. Just put a guy right on Ingles. Put a guy right on Mitchell. Dont let us throw oops to Gobert.

Favors and Rubio have almost zero offensive game. Gobert can't do anything but shoot within 5 feet. Actually easy to guard.

Problem is teams knew that last year and we had a great run to end the season and a nice playoff run.

It’s much easier to think that’s closer to who we are than being historically great for a stretch and just assuming we’ll get it back.

Rubio shot 40% from three during that stretch. That seems like much more of a fluke than a ‘wait for it, gonna happen again’

Many long faces. And its a long season.

Longer when your losing and the locker room isn’t happy.

I like Mike Smith in the studio.

Running it back in this constantly evolving league may have been unwise.

Also the Jazz have lost every game that Thurl Bailey has been the color guy. #bringbackfrysaucemattwhousetoplayfootball

Well... Alec did have a hot shooting night.

They're playing a different style, the run and gun style, this year. A team with Rudy anchoring can't play that way. That's the difference this year. We just don't have the shooters at the right positions, that is at PG, to do that. None of our PGs are good shooters, even Donovan is only so-so, as he gets his points mainly on drives to the hoop. He's really only an average 3-pt shooter, being kind of streaky to balance out his bad nights. When Ricky has nights like tonight, it's impossible to beat a good team.
