What a wet fart of a Game 1

What happened to our defense? Complete and total breakdown defensively from top to bottom! From the get go our defensive strategy was flawed and non-existent! We can begin with leaving all those 3 point shooters wide-open to can whatever shot they desired to take! No need to leave your man to help out on Haden while your man takes dead aim from beyond the arc! Favors and Rudy were clueless out there when it came to covering their man. I don't think either one of them picked up a foul trying to defend anyone. That has to change next game. Offensively, we didn't play all that bad. It was just a complete and total breakdown on defense from what we were playing, how we executed our defense, and what are game plan was suppose to be. Had we played a smitgen of defense our offensive would have produced by a factor of 10. We will do better next game and certainly when we get back home.

Well, DL and CO tried to address it by bringing Conley but you need two to tango. It's pretty clear to everyone we need more firepower

Silly me. I thought Dennis Do Little addressed Utah's talent deficit by bringing in Gorgeous Georges for the Swedish Swish and replacing Lil' Stock with The Dukie. Dat chemistry...always trumps talent.
 
The rockets defense was a big difference maker. We had almost nothing going for us offensively.

When Harden got his 4th foul we should have isolated him 5 of the next 5 plays. We did once of the next 10.

Look, the rockets arent an amazing defensive team but they sure looked like it tonight.

The good thing... the jazz took away Harden and the 3 point shot. The bad? They took away everything we had and they countered by winning the paint at a clip of 60 points, the mid range, and the 3 point shot. So... we stopped harden and gave up everything else.

Favors only guy with a plus by his name. Point guards were awful.

Rudy was a-23. It seems like every time we play the Rockets he has by far the worst plus/minus on our team and I can't figure out why.
 
The problem was we didn't play our game. We tried a defensive scheme that we were not prepared to play and it failed miserably. We need to play our defense, our motion offense. Sure maybe try to push harden right more, but not to the point where we give him all the open Lanes. We need to just throw the gimmicky ******** out the window and play our game.
 
Another example of how Jazz desperately need another reliable scorer. Once we lose this series (and we will), while Houston exposes our weaknesses (so far, yes), we damned well better not have yet another off-season of "continuity" or "internal growth" or "gee, by golly, we have chemistry."

Getting Houston in Round 1 was just dumb bad luck. For all of you people out there who wanted Houston (such as one guy on twitter) because (paraphrased) "growth doesn't come by taking the easy route," I hope you're happy.

For the record, I'm just as happy winning via an easier matchup than winning by overcoming a harder matchup.
 
Jazz are not built for a team like the rockets.

Its just a terrible match up. What did you expect? They beat our *** last year with this same roster.

Nba needs to look at the buyout rules, where the rich keep getting richer. Thats s huge problem.
 
We need a change in the forward and point guard slot. Jae or Favors has to go and, obviously, AT LEAST one of our point guards has to go. I wish it was Exum but we'll have to give a pick or 2 to get rid of him sadly. I'd go after Kemba. Then trade Favors and/or Jae, Exum, Allen, thabo + picks for Blake. Problem solved for the jazz. 3 great scoring punches with Donovan.

Kemba
Donovan
Ingles
Griffin
Gobert.

Who says no to that lineup?
 
We need shooting badly. Our starting 1 and 4 can’t shoot, Korver is old as ****, Ingles isn’t some spring chicken and Mitchell just isn’t a natural and efficient.

We need guys who are natural shooters. Yet we also need a guy who can get his own shot/penetrate.
