Game Thread - Jazz @ Pistons 5 PM MTN

[MVP]

I think it’s time to ignore yamers *** just like I did on the game chat. His posts are at a whole different level of stupidity.

He is entertaining at least. Jazz and his alts though just complete idiots.

Our early struggles last year weren't just injuries. Our schedule was super tough early last year too. Were weren't playing well last season even before Rudy got hurt due to the schedule.

It was due to the injuries. And to a lesser extent Mitchell and Rubio getting acclimated to the team. It was clear that we were going to take off after Gobert came back because the team was beginning to gel well and figure things out. Me and Infection both kept saying it. It was clear that we just needed the defensive anchor.

It's not the schedule. It's been really difficult this season but its not why we're losing. We're losing because both our offense AND our defense have declined from where we were last season. Our offense completely disappears at times and unlike last season our defense isn't good enough to carry us to wins anyway. We are going to lose to plenty of really bad teams going down the stretch. The first half of both the Cavs and Pistons games should make that apparent to everyone. When we are playing bad basketball it is REALLY bad basketball.

I just don't see how we go on a run like last year unless we make a major trade or miraculously play like last year with no warning. We look like a borderline playoff team instead of the contenders we expected to be.

we're going to lose to hardly any bad teams from this point.

Don’t be a dick

Don't be hurt like our Boys health condition every time hits the deck.

Poor Detroit.

DM went full Spida on the poor sods who took Luke Kennard #12.

Good come back tonight, showed heart and poise.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Reminded me of when Mitchell put away the Cavs last year.

I missed some of the 3rd qtr. What was Thabo's injury?

Just to clarify it was Sefolosha's hamstring, not ankle.

 

[latin jazz]

Ankle sprain. Stepped on Favors foot.

@colton My bad, got confused. Exum's was the sprain. Thabo pulled his hamstring while driving to the basket

Thanks. Thought it was odd they both had ankle sprains, but weirder things have happened...

Also didn’t hurt that the schedule went from cut throat to powder puff at the same time. This year when the schedule gets really easy after being cut throat we don’t have to finish 29-6 since we are 8-10 games ahead of last years pace.
