Why didn't Gobert start? Did that throw him off his rhythm? I didn't get to see this one.

This was a test to see if we are truly back.

We failed, but barely.

We are getting there, but we arent where we were last year (yet). Ingles HAS to be on for us. Donovan is becoming last years star again, but
we need that other scorer with him.

 

[Revolution 9]

Portland scored 109, shot 50% from the field and 44% from 3. People were saying our defense was back to last seasons form though?

Its not. We just played poor teams. Tonight was a test we didnt pass.

he's someone who needs to play with better/more creative players to be maximally effective. he can stay within his role much better with the starters as he can't really create offense.

This just means he isn’t very good and is much better when given the least possible responsibility. Wide open catch and shoot, great. Disastrous when he puts the ball on the floor and tries to do anything more. Locke was ranting like he’s some great find this year when he was stinking garbage for the first 10 weeks of the season and has had a couple good weeks against crap teams.
If Royce is playing 37 mins we’re fooked

And you know, the Jazz arent healthy.

People are just flat out wrong when they say Royce can't make or facilitate plays off the dribble

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Royce O'neale played like garbage in the 4th quarter. And his piss poor offensive abilities has a major negative impact that you (and others on this board) are not taking into account.

Lol

Well he can but I don’t think he’s very good at it

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

You and I were watching different games

The blazers scored 15 points in the 2 d quarter. Would have been 12 if not for the Jae shot blunder. Jazz played incredible D overall in the 1st half because of that.

He's not great at it, but he's better than most players who make a minimum contract in their 2nd season.

True. Prob expecting too much from him. He’s certainly better than he was earlier in the year

We arent going to win many games with our 2 best shooters going 0-8 from 3.
