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

[mellow]

We are being beat so badly the nba has placed us in the lottery... we are clearly tanking.

There was a time for that, sadly it passed.

Jazz are in worst possible position. Not good enough to compete, too good to get draft picks, too Salt Lake to get free agents.

 

[Jack Strop]

I fear we're now stuck in that middle ground of fighting for the last few playoff spots, but not getting a pick that will be good enough to improve the team. The rebuild was ****** **.

Jazz aren't just a player away like some of you think. If Lindsey can't convince a significant FA to sign over the summer (and I don't think he can), then I'd go nuclear. Jazz control Donovan for the next 5 years. By then, Utah could do another rebuild. Trade Rudy for two starters and two #1's. Trade Joe for a 1st. Keep Favs, but trade him at the deadline.

Rubio has got HEART

Funny houston dumped him double quick time and has look superb since...

That's not the right way to look at it.
Correct way is imagine how much better Houston would be if they had kept Melo.

Really hope nobody is shocked when Kemba doesn’t come here.

I guess the 98 finals game?? Can't remember if that was this bad but I was like 11..

I can think of many regular season games and countless playoff games they don't show up - Houston, Warriors, Lakers, Kings, Mavs, Blazers.

Maybe it's in my head, but I feel the Jazz get blown out of the water a lot when the lose in the playoffs.

Wonder if Haywards available?

 

[Jazzta]

Good boy Rubio.

 

[MVP]

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.

Jazz: Struggles against the elite teams all year long, even against other good teams.

Jazzfanz: We're a 2nd round team at best, can't beat Houston or GSW and probably not even a healthy OKC or POR

Jazz: Get their asses kicked by Houston for the first two games
