Uta vs. Hou: Game 2 off/def strategy change up?

infection said:
Serious question: Who are we going to obtain?

Name a free agent who isn’t restricted who would feel our fifth seed and first round bump is a better situation than other available.

Now look at the trade market and tell me who you think is attainable for what we have.

Now tell me anyone... anyone that you think is more likely than Kevin Love.

When July 7 hits and we have nobody biting, we’re ****ed. DL has to make a decision or all that “flexibility” becomes wasted, so he takes what he appears to be a move that’s the lesser of two evils and deals Favors, Exum, a first and a second for Kevin Love. The narrative is that we’ll preform better in the regular season. Then we’ll operate above the cap to have the MLE.

Brogdon, maybe, if we throw enough money

He needs yo take some sort of risk at some point. Something like Philly did with Tobias Harris, or throw the book at Conley. With Mitchell and Rudy we are a playoff team regardless if who the others are. He needs to find a way to build off of that not stay stagnant or else these guys are gone. Plain and simple.
 
Houston is the only team we clearly don't match up well against. I was afraid of this, hopefully the Jazz put up a decent fight at home and not fold pathetically.

**** man, basic math tells you that we’ve played a half and half of 24 is 12 so we’d still be down 70-56 at the half.

Melo averages 1 steal a game and 5 defensive rebounds a game. That's 12 points Houston wouldn't have. Houston up 60-38 at the half becomes Utah up 50-48 if they had signed Melo.

I just don't understand why the Jazz are playing like they have never seen a basketball before. Dejected and scared doee not win games. Clearly no adjustments were made between game 1 and game 2.

Because there are no adjustments to be made. The Jazz are two tiers down from the W's and Rockets. Utah is playing 80's basketball in an era when even centers can shoot 3's. When Hayward left, Dennis said he and Quin doubled down on defense. What that really meant is they went out and signed whatever scrubs they could who would take $5M or less. We've seen that experiment FAIL miserably. Even the Lakers with Lebron couldn't make it work.

At least, as yamers said, there can be no excuses for Dennis. I'd put everyone on the trading block - except Donovan - after this Houston debacle. Rudy can only be effective if Utah's perimeter defense can at least give some resistance. Bricky was once considered a decent defender. Not sure when he lost two steps. And Donovan doesn't escape criticism, either. Can he be an effective 2 at his size on defense? That was one of the reasons he slid to #13. I think Utah needs to get a big SG and move Mitchell to PG. Jazz also need a shooter at the 4. It's time for Lindsey to make changes.

Then you’re either stupid or ignorant.

Golden state would be kicking our *** as would Portland. OKC would beat us this year. Not to mention the top EC teams.

This has much more to do with us doing nothing last summer than with Houston being a bad matchup. We should’ve known that we had to upgrade last summer. The don’t know why we didn’t.

DM has been complete trash this series. Playing like Oct:Nov Donovan.

To me, and this isn't a knock on him, but sometimes he let's things get in his head. Big games, games on National TV, game winners.

Same with Rudy.

They're learning.
