Non jazz 2019 playoff discussion.

Nick Nurse might be the best coach in the league. I love Quin, so this isn't a knock on our coach. But Nurse just doesn't let ANYTHING phase his team! He makes adjustments on the fly so well and never lets a game feel like its gone too far. I mean in the first of tonight's game the Raptors looked like garbage, but he didn't panic. Instead he played his gameplan and look what happened.

Also, Lowry has been nails. Made every right decision.
 
My favorite part was to see the Lakers/Heat/Warriors bandwagoners switch to Toronto in realtime, chanting for the Raptors as the game comes to an end.
 
Just think if Dennis Lindsey was the GM of the Raptors. They wouldn't have traded for Kawhi or Gasol. You know cause that roster was full of players that were friends.

Nick nurse also has who i said is the best player in the league in leonard.

And snyder has a PG who cant shoot. Id say snyder has always done the best he could with the rosters he was given, but

That aside i think snyder and nurse were oretty close in the g league. Think they were touted as the two top coaches.

Yep. That’s why I cringe every time somebody on here calls DL an “elite” GM. There are probably 5 GMs that are clearly a level above him.

He's playing alright, definitely benefiting from playing next to a mega gravity superstar like Leonard.

To be fair, there where a few times when Leonard was left WIDE open. Some of that "gravity" is just the Warriors playing crappy defense looking for calls instead of playing position.

Meh. Jury is still out on him.

It helps to have Kawhi, a very good PG, and smart veteran players like Danny Green and Marc gasol.

Snyder hasn’t had that luxury with the exception of that one year when we had George Hill and Joe Johnson.

Give Mitchell and Snyder some help and I think we look a lot better.

Lowry’s role has changed. He was arguably the #1 option before. Now, he’s much more of a facilitator. Toronto has weapons, like Kawhi, Gasol, Green, and Siakam. Lowry’s job is to run the offense, not score. He controlled the tempo of the game in that 2nd half imo. Golden State’s offense is a complete mess right now compared to Toronto’s Well oiled machine.

I think as jazz fans we’ve forgotten what it’s like to have a competent PG. it makes a difference when Deron or John could control a game without having to score every time down the court. Sigh
 
Am I imagining things or were there Lowry to Utah rumors at the deadline? That seems kind of crazy in retrospect. . .
