If the Jazz were to lose in the first round to the Luka-less Mavs…

[Bawse Dawg]

Mavs have more talent

Lol

Lol

Can you imagine if their injured players were playing. All our guys are here and still lost ... So think about it

In the future, I think Mike Conley could be moved, or his role may be reduced to that of a backup. The whole league seems to be moving towards the Boston Celtics' model, where everyone defends, everyone spaces the floor, everyone can drive and create at a very basic level, everyone rebounds, etc. Unless you're a genius floor general like a Chris Paul, I'm not sure a traditional PG with physical limitations is going to be a priority.

What about point guards that can play decent defense, have a first quick step, but can't shoot at all? (Not even when no one is defending them... on purpose...)

Is the league moving towards that? Because if they are... maybe we could trade Trent Forrest for something?

Quin rather quit than trade Forrest

Luka will come back this series.

Dallas can afford to lose game three now, so, my guess is he doesn't play for game three and then will be back for game four.

Utah wins game three, Dallas pulls out a big win in game four, return to Dallas winning game five and this series either ends in game six or Utah pushes it to game seven where things probably go badly.

He comes back he is going to tear his calf or Achilles

They don't over pay one dimensional players like Gobert.

The name Porzingus suddenly pooped in my head for some reason, and Gobert has excellent skills on offense (just not as a ball-handler).

Yes the Jazz can't finish that's exactly what I'm saying. If the Jazz didn't have Mitchell for these 2 games and Dallas still didn't have Luka we would be down 2 zip

Since our entire game -plan would have been different, I can only say nobody knows that, no matter how loudly and smugly they say otherwise.

 

[NUMBERICA]

If that happens, even if Luka comes back, this build should get absolutely nuked. They already dumped the heart and soul months ago and we're seeing the results.

JB can stay, and... uhh... Juancho? House?

We can definitely see Gobert's excellent offensive skills thus far in the playoffs. He can't create offense unless his teammates find him. He totally mucked up his lobs last night

He creates offense the same way he always has, with screens and offensive rebounds. He's also pulling defenders away from the ball.

So he is only good when his team misses. Screens lol and he looks like a broken footed giraffe when he blows layups and fs up his lobs. Sounds like an overpayment to me. Dude is a liability on offense and his teammates don't trust him to feed him the ball. But again great stats offensively thus far in the series. But good screens though

He needs to go back to the Dennis Rodman type roll and accept that there may be some series where that is his roll.

His points will come from Off. Rebounds and FT's and a lob or two a game. No one complained when he scored 5 points off freethrows in game 1. It showed that he didn't need to score for us to win.

So he is only good when his team misses.

Or when they need a screen, or to pull long defenders away from the perimeter.

It seems odd to see someone dismissing offensive rebounds. Perhaps you're not worth having a discussion with after all.
