he had 5 assist he's gonna break Stockton's recordJC shooting 7-12 with 3-7 from three was a silver lining.

I missed the game but it doesn't sound like its worth watching. Still waiting for the team from last season to show up because this season has been kind of a dud. The Jazz are playing like they are bored by the regular season and they are content just playing well enough to land a 3-5 seed. If they plan to coast early in the season I don't see any reason to not iron out a few things in preparation for the playoffs.

We wanted the playoffs success to regular season success ratio to increase by pumping up the numerator, not by dropping the denominator.This is what everyone wanted after last season ended.
All i kept hearing was how the regular season doesn’t matter and how no one cares about the regular season. Jazz made some moves to improve our playoff play that would sacrifice our regular season a bit.

You see passion and experimentation from the coaches and players in an effort to expand our repertoire for the playoffs? If so, please tell me where you see that because I’d like to lean into those perceptions. If they’re real, of course.This is what everyone wanted after last season ended.

It's a lot like life. We feel the years pass faster and faster, yet I've spent an interminable hour waiting for a doctor to tell me I had cancer. In the short-term our perceptions change. So yes we know we needed to improve our odds in the playoffs, but I still want them to win every single game. And by golly I'm gonna bitch when they don't! Especially when the reason is largely lack of effort and focus, which has been a real problem this year.This is what everyone wanted after last season ended.

Bruh… we went small last night. I mean it was out of necessity and clearly not something we have prepared for at all… and is partly because Quin would rather die than play our third string center who’s option we picked up for no apparent reason. This is huge progress lmao that you can’t see it.You see passion and experimentation from the coaches and players in an effort to expand our repertoire for the playoffs?

We have needed more functional athleticism on the wing for a while. Look at how big a boost old man Rudy Gay is. It does seem like Joe is either too far gone or a little burnt out. I’m hoping it’s not true… it would be pretty easy for him to mail in this next few months before heading back to Australia.Unpopular opinion:
Maybe a lot of players are just mentally and physically exhausted? They had the Covid bubble year. Then a jam packed year. Summer Olympics. Now this sloppy season.
Honestly, there’s a lot of bad basketball going on right now. And it could be worse, we could be Denver with 2/3 of our stars dealing with serious injury.
I do think however, we need some juice. Jingles especially, looks mentally and physically exhausted. I wish we had some draft picks that could spell jingles right now. Or a trade that could bring some athleticism to our team.

I think the one seed matters A LOT. You have to be a clear favorite to advance to the finals to not care about seeding and the very meaningful advantage that comes from being the higher seed in a series. The Jazz are not the far and away favorite to come out of the West this year, so they are going to care very much about seeding when they start round one on the road against a team who is favored to beat them.Thats not what i heard end of last season. It was more like who cares about the regular season and the regular season doesnt matter and it was stupid to try so hard for the one seed cause seeding doesnt matter.
No one cared about the denominator.

This.Just like in games where the Jazz coast through 3 qtrs and then try to "turn it on" in the 4th when they are down by double-digits only to lose by a few points, I'm afraid that if they wait until the playoffs to care it's gonna be too late by the time their "I give a ****" engine gets warmed up.
DL missed all of his second round draft picks during his jazz tenure. I mean all of them......Wasn't he the same draft as Oni, Brantley and Justin Wright-Foreman? Like, we whiffed on three guys in the late 2nd round instead of him.
All things considered, I think that it’s fair to moan when there’s been an absolute minimum of experimentation and, at times, a noticeable lack of passion.No i see different lineups. Sometimes integrating new pieces into the lineups and figuring out those new pieces fit can come at the expense of regular season wins.
We shouldnt expect this different team to be as good as our historically great (and under appreciated by many jazz fans) team was in the regular season last year.
The new additions made and the players lost SHOULD benefit us in the playoffs. Thats what we all wanted right? So we shouldnt get down on this team too much unless they underperform when it matters.
