Jazz need to bring in someone better in O'neal's spot. I like him but trading him, Niang, Azubuike and maybe picks for someone better is in order.

 

[fishonjazz]

We never get the rebound when Rudy contests a shot outside the paint

This. So much this. It really pisses me off.

I will take the bigger sample size.

Year one .083
Year 2 .000
Year 3 .41
Year 4 .40
Year 5 .32


Really though, it doesn't matter what you have done. It matters what you are doing.

Last year's numbers don't really help in the game today.

Royce did his best. but he's only 6'4 and the jazz needs a legit forward who can secure those defensive boards behind rudy when he left the paint.

I can't believe people on here. We lose one game and they want to make a trade ... lol. Those offensive rebounds by Kawhi were killers. You know if it was Favors in there instead of Rudy, no way that would've happened. But the Jazz lost the game earlier, but the way they came back shows they can beat the Clips if they just play their normal game and hit their average on 3-pt shots.

I don't think it was Royce's height that was the issue so much as it was him not boxing out correctly and letting dudes get him out of position. Especially on the late Kawhi rebounds.

Conley 0 AST, Ingles 1 AST

We had 12 AST total

Damn

This game doesn’t feel like a loss to me because we fought hard until the very end and the clippers had to play amazing and get a bit lucky to beat us. A couple calls the other way - ahem, looking at you PG outright shoving ingles, and we win.

Big takeaway is the clippers are very good and the jazz can’t expect to stroll through the first half and win. Also Bogey is not a great defender...I maybe play more Oni against this team. We really just need one more great wing defender with length and we win this game.

 

[Ron Mexico]

one more wing defender is needed, some better shot selection is too. They need to figure out what to do when the 3's aren't falling.

That's easy, keep shooting. You don't stop taking open shots if you miss some. You shoot until they start going in again.

The refs sucked

Mitchell scored 12 points in the last 83 seconds of the game.

They always do on national TV.

Worst officiated game since our national TV game against Boston.

Royce has 9 games this season with 5 points or less
I like Royce but that is an issue.

“Pretty sure”. Don’t be a bitch.

Oh jeez. That’s your comeback? LOL

Okay dude, you totally got me. You were “pretty sure” that they’re the better team. Man, so glad you straightened me out.

Absolutely it is. And I wonder if it might be fatal? Had we drafted Bane, would he be giving us better production than Royce? We desperately need Oni or Hughes to step up and give us some help

 

[The Thriller]

Lol. You shift the goalposts soooooo easily.

The Clippers played great defense as a unit despite not playing together for a long while. They feel good.

Shifting the goalposts? Where were goalposts originally? What a weird comment.

 

[David Stern]

After watching the games this week, it feels like we need another wing defender. Not sure how we upgrade there though, maybe somebody like Aaron Gordon for Bogey makes sense? I just can't see the Jazz trading anyone at this point though.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Make no mistake.... it was their defense that won the game. The next factor was a distant second.

They’re a problem on defense. ****.

They are able to take us out of what we want to do... it felt like we missed the shots we needed to and had some dumb mistakes at tough times.

That said they got great performances from their role players. I think we have a good chance at beating them. Quin has some work to do. Part of it will be instead of just trying to beat them with force you need to use their aggressiveness against them... like this is some miyagido ****. They had the one play where they crossed DM and Mike and Bev prolly should have switched but he’s so concerned about not giving Don anything that Mike got a wide open three.

The other thing to remember is that PG always seems to be hurt in the playoffs... Beverly is injury prone... Kawhi has the tendinopathy issue... like this might be the healthiest they have ever been.

I don’t feel great about the loss because every game is a must win game... but I think we can hang with these guys for sure... always takes a little luck to win the whole thing.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I wouldn’t jump to conclusions, he sounds like the undead and looks even worse...

When they show the close up on the zone I was taken back for a minute.
