Game 3 - Rockets @ Jazz

Am I the only person who thinks that the step backs Houston shoots are a travel more often that not? They take at least 3 steps on most of them, maybe 4. If these are the rules now, can the Jazz take 3 or 4 steps too, or is this only for select teams like the Rockets and Warriors? I hate the pushoffs and step back travels and flops, and drawing fouls by driving into defenders, but if the rules allow these things, then the Jazz should do them too, and demand the same treatment.

Ha shows how much people care about this and after hearing the player that has been far and away the only player to play half way decent is now not starting, I almost want the Jazz to lose by 50, obviously speaking out of emotion but tell me what has Crowder done that Favors has not done that deserves him getting more minutes. If your answer is not completely suck and miss a **** ton of 3's then your wrong cause that's it, he hasn't played anything but **** D, he hasn't rebounded and he's missed his usual layup attempts, good coaching decision.

Think this is the first time I've quoted myself but........ there it is.

I like Jae and my complaint is more about Fav's, he was the 2nd leading scorer and got 15min. Jazz played 10 players and only Neto played less.

Game.
Set.
Match.
Series.

He has been the least bad player every game this series, meaning no player has been good and he's been consistently the best or 2nd best player in the 3 games. O'Neal in game 2 was pretty good and tonight Mitchel was pretty good only thing that kept it from being good was his missed FT's and missing the bigs down low a couple of times.

Ingles and Crowder have been the 2 biggest disappointments in the playoffs, Jazz need to play Ingles so that's on him, Jazz don't have or need to play Crowder the minutes he's been given, that's on Quin.

I mean, yeah. We've seen this team shoot better than this over a much larger sample size. I'm not saying we don't desperately need more shooting. I'm just saying this is an outlier shooting slump this team is going through, and it's obviously cost us a game tonight.
 
Anyway, the Jazz played hard tonight, and came up a little short. They need to learn some things , but as they aren't as bad as their fans here think. The defense was quite impressive tonight. There is potential to be a very good team. They lost by one basket to a team that is probably top 4 in the league, a real contender. I am wondering if they shouldn't just try to copy Houston's style of play.

I bet the Jazz are shooting worse on wide open, open and uncontest 3's then the Rockets are shooting on contested 3's.

I bet if you dive into the analytics of all the playoff teams, I am will to bet my house that no team has gotten more open looks then the Jazz in the playoffs, obviously no team is shooting worse than the Jazz on open looks or overall but I am really curious how every other playoff team is shooting on contested 3's just for perspective of how historically bad this is or at least it is feeling like right now.

We don't have the personnel on offense to do this. Our team is well below average athletically and we don't have many guys who can create in one on one situations. Our offense was executed pretty well tonight, we just couldn't convert open looks.

I got you so much I'm answering my own questions.



Life of a Jazz fan.


Wouldn't change a God damn thing.



Unless, of course, for a championship.
 
What's worse at shooting Jazz or Storm Troopers?

Trick question, Ingles would pass up shooting then both he and Rubio turn it over and give up offensive rebounds so they don't have to shoot. So Storm Troopers win by default.

Maybe. Maybe they would convert those open looks if they copied the Houston style of offense. Maybe they just need to find a couple more guys like Tucker and Oneil, and have them learn the Houston style of offense and commit to it for a couple years. It's not like they are starting from scratch. They already have some very good pieces.

What, in your mind, is Houston's style of offense?
 
Houston's offense works because James Harden is one of the greatest offensive players to ever pick up a basketball and they've got a bunch of good shooters on the wings.

I don't think abandoning a system that generates the amount of open looks is the answer. The system works, we just need better shooting.
 
My choice for crucial moment of the game was Mitchell and Rubio combining to miss 5 of 6 free throws early in the 2nd half. We were up 6 at the time, so that was a great moment to be up 11. Your starting guards can't do that. Oh well.
