The morale of paying the LT, trying to contend for a chip, then failed to make the playoffs will be even worse. We were on the verge of falling off in both 2018 and 2019 before Korver and Clarkson coming in to save our ***. We can go 4-8 by the end of this road trip and who's gonna come to this rescue this season? No one
That's the bad thing. We are in the middle of the road. Nobody likes to lose, and you can bet your *** DM, Gobert, and Mike aren't going to toss games. Unless DM or Mike are secretly injured or someone gets injured along the way we aren't going to be able to tank.
If it's one of Brandon Clark, Darius Bazley or Keldon Johnson, I'm sure Quin would have. I'm upset about Quin’s rotation too, but he's not the only one at fault here. Playing scrubs might help this team(just maybe), but it doesn't solve any of our long term problems. Like when Mike Conley leave us in the summer, for example.
Something is wrong when you play a first half vs the Nets and a second half vs Knicks. It's like the guys have quit or have totally tuned the coaches out. It happened at times last year when there were stretches where the Jazz looked worse than a GLeague team.
Well, that's my point, whatever saved us in the last two seasons won't be the case this season. We can't get any kind of help in a midseason trade. We ran out of assets to give. So plan for the worst.
