Historically Great Offense

There was a stretch last year, I think maybe around 60-ish% of the way through, where we had these historic numbers. Can't remember what it was. Perhaps it was differential. Those ended up tanking. Perhaps not tanking, but they weren't relevant by season end. Part of that was Donovan and Conley missing a lot of the end of the season, but does anyone remember which numbers it were that were hyped?

Not sure if this was exactly what you were talking about, but the Jazz at some point the Jazz had the best net rating (no garbage time) since sites started recording those things….the last 15 years or so. They also held the #1 offense and defense spot at different times in the year.

Jazz have the same super insane net rating this year. It’s just not talked about as much because the Warriors have the same and have a better record. It’s wayyyy tilted towards the offense this year though.

To put it another way, super great teams like the suns and bucks, who have guys who cant shoot threes that rudy can guard, can definitely beat us. But I look forward to the matchup and seeing who the better team is. A team like the warriors, or the clippers last year, is a series that I dont look forward to cause I dont have fun watching the jazz have no idea what to do on the court.

The Suns are the most deadly team in the league at the shots we conceded. Ayton allows Gobert to stay in the paint, but he also occupies Gobert super well. I actually think it’s harder for him to guard a good rolling big man than it is to guard a stretch 5.

The Clippers didn’t start beating us until they stopped running PnR at Rudy. Even with a spaced plot Rudy could keep it contained by switching or keeping everything in front. It was more difficult for him to defend when Zubac was in the game because the space between the two players was greater. A deadly mid range shooter combined with a good rim running big is tough to stop. CP3 is one of the best all time in that situation and Booker is great as well.

It doesn’t make PHX impossible to beat, but that’s a tough matchup because their offense is designed to score against our type of defense.

In general, however, I think PHX’s greatest strength is just how damn good they are in the clutch. I think GSW, UTA, MIL, and maybe BKN are better teams than PHX. But if PHX can keep it close they are the best on the league in the clutch.

They attack the rim like it has never been attacked before.

So unless you want massive rim pressure you better be ready to protect your rim when the Jazz are in town.
