If only we didn’t darft so hard in 2020."tarde" being the key word.
This is what I have been saying for years now.If this is going to work, Donovan needs to be the only negative defender on the floor. This is a challenge though because Bogi and Mike are treading water in a lot of their matchups.
The lineups with Donovan and Clarkson on the floor together may be a lost cause defensively.
BTW listened to the Duncan podcast today with Jake L Fisher. Said the Jazz were stoked about House and glad to get him for free. Said we'd love to get Grant but don't have the goods. He also said we are definitely willing to part with Ingles and a pick for an upgrade but doesn't see a logical upgrade out there.
celtics will take smart at #5 if that's the case. even if Celtics take exum, we will take someone else like stauskas or vonleh cuz smart refused to workout for usWhat if we lost the coin toss to celtics and drafted smart instead of exum?

the issue is simple. have your player stay in front of his man when guarding. it solves everything. any defense would be in a scramble mode whenever the opposition player with the ball just blows by your man. and we are allowing it to happen on every ****ing possession.He's been rough lately... and sometimes its tough for us to remember back further than a few games. I do think he needs to be the second best perimeter defender and not used as a "stopper". That is more on Quin.
House looks solid on that end and I think could help the rotation without gumming up the spacing. We just need that point of attack guy or that big time disruptive force to add to this group imo. Honestly a lot of the changes that need to be made are Quin things.
There was one stupid possession last night where Conley got ripped and Saben Lee took it for a dunk. We need some of that energy... then the ball handler can't relax. Guys can dance and just be super chill with our perimeter guys on them... no one gets worried until they see Rudy at the rim... once you remove Rudy from the rim.... its just all over.
We haven't figured out two things:
1- How to keep Rudy at the rim without surrendering wide *** open shots.
2- How to have some level of resistance when Rudy is not at the rim.
It's effort, it's personnel, it's coaching... I don't think we have answers to any of them honestly.
It looked like we were playing D with five Jimmers on the floor in the second half last night.the issue is simple. have your player stay in front of his man when guarding. it solves everything. any defense would be in a scramble mode whenever the opposition player with the ball just blows by your man. and we are allowing it to happen on every ****ing possession.
-these teams have 3-4 2way players.There used to be an obsession about, “can this guys be the best player on a championship team”. I’m glad that’s faded out…but sometimes the simplest things are the most telling.
Take a look at all the recent champions. They don’t just have one DPOY player and a bunch of buns, they typically have a DPOY player surrounded with high level, all defense type players. The one recent exception would probably be LeBron’s Cavs
Bucks - Giannis, Jrue, Lopez, Tucker
Lakers - AD, Playoff LeBron, Caruso, Green
Raptors - Kawhi, Gasol, Lowry, Green
Warriors - Draymond, Igoudala, Klay, Durant
Spurs - Kawhi, Duncan, Green, Splitter
These teams are absolutely stacked on defense. For the Jazz…we have Gobert. He may be the greatest of all time, but front there we have to squint our eyes to see any of players as good defenders in any situation. Royce is considered a good defender simply by proxy lol.
I think Richardson would be a better fit here, I’d rather just cut WAS out of the deal.I could picture something like this actually happening. The Celtics apparently like Ingles. Kuzma gives us a 3D forward who rebounds. He's been playing well, and he literally has Utah mountains tattooed on his back. Wizards have a logjam and want to give minutes to Rui and Deni. Jazz likely throw in a 2RP and/or a young player.

- Boston Celtics Receive: Joe Ingles, Jared Butler, Memphis' 2022 second-round pick, 2023 first-round swap (pending Utah's 2022 obligation to Memphis)
Utah Jazz Receive: Josh Richardson, Dennis Schroder
I take it you read Bleacher Report article suggesting this exact trade. lol
No idea why Celts would do that, but that is an easy yes for the Jazz.

Royce is way too disrespected on here constantly. Yes, he's not a lockdown defender. HE's still a great defender and one of the more versatile defenders in the NBA.
He isnt Gerald ****ing Green.
