It is very simple.Dm and jc taking about 45 shoots per game few less or more.when one of them is cold it is close game when both are It is lost game. As everyone can notice we got alot less asist per game aswell . What we can do with no roster change ? I woud use joe as we used minivan before, put him in corner and play him like 15 to 17 min till PO. Cut jc ussage ro 12to 15 per game couse atm he is hurting team atm. When game is close give mike to run game not DM for god sake he simple don't have this yet. Also some line ups looking rly wird but this is even longer story... And refs are even longer one ...

The thing that really frustrates me about this is that rebounding isn't about some mystical magical ability granted by the wood fairies as part of a sacrificial ritual, it is just work. Plain and simple, get your *** into the paint, box the guy out, and go hard for the ball. It is fully 80%+ effort. The other 20% is of coure size and natural ability. But I was part of a team in high school who was at a size disadvantage in most games, but we almost always outrebounded the opponent because we all crashed the boards, everyone. Our coach drilled that into us. Get the ball. He made it clear you can't win if you don't have the ball. And his mantra was that rebounding was 90% effort. I watched our shortest guy at 5'7" get a rebound away from a dude who was about 6'8" with others that big in the vicinity, with effort and hustle. We just do not have any semblance of effort or hustle.

But can we bitch about everything on the floor rather than try harder? You bet!

The NBA is not your HS basketball team.

Rebounding is a skill. Effort/Focus on the boards is a skill. You cant just teach NBA vets to suddenly become skilled in a part of the game that doesnt come naturally to them.

I find it hard to believe you ever played organized ball before, you know, with a real coaching staff of any kind. Saying that professional players cannot develop a skill or learn to work harder at part of the game is patently ridiculous and we see this happen literally all the time.

Show me the NBA vets who greatly improve their rebounding ability at age 30. And not just due to team change or significant lineup changes (like a 3 becoming a 4 in a 3-guard lineup).

I don't think Royce is overrated by Jazz fans, he is overrated by the Jazz media and the Jazz org in general, and frankly by the NBA media in general. I remember one national game this year one of the NBA announcers talked about Royce as a defensive stopper, and right after that Royce's guy just blew right by him and went up over him because Royce was giving up 4 inches on the guy, and he got the layup. That was pretty poignant.

This. Jazz media is absolutely in love with Royce. It's honestly a little strange.
