Game Thread Apr 28, 2022 08:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Mavericks - Game 6

[MTS]

Jazz broadcast crew at the end of the season - "We are healthy finally, watch out NBA, the jazz are coming!"

Jazz broadcast now - "We just gotta re-tool"

Re-tool how?

We have no draft picks, and multiple players on atrocious contracts.

Like I said last year's Jazz team would have swept this mavs team.

Niang and Ingles of last year would have made a massive difference in this series.

You gotta give it to the Mavs though, they got more backbone than the Fraudzz. They took the Clippers down to the wire to game 7 last year, while the Pretenderzz simply choked and phased out like lottery team. Respect to Luka and Mavs.

Been a hard frustrating year. Trading Ingles hurt not only me personally but I’m sure the team as well. Hate to see it, but a retool / blow up is needed . Back to square one re-tooling and planning on a Jazz championship run. I pray and hope that I’m alive to see it.

Reasons we lost this series
1. Three of our 5 starters are undersized. If you're undersized, you better be quicker and faster. We were slow and short
2. Two of our 5 starters are not threats on the offense.
3. Our defensive strategy was to funnel players into Rudy. If Rudy isn't there, there is no one there. We had no wing defenders.
4. 5 out completely takes Rudy out of the defense.
5. Dallas was able to slow down Donovan and take him out of his normal game.
6. Quin was not able to make adjustments during the games when Dallas went on runs.
7. We worked all season to get Conley to the playoffs healthy just to have him totally run out of gas.
8. Royce was dreadful in the playoffs and didn't do well on defense or offense.
9. in 2020 we got torched by Jamal Murray, 2021, we got torched by Reggie Jackson and Mann, we did nothing to address this problem.
10. As Stephen A said, if there is something that can go wrong for the Jazz, it will go wrong.

That's why you don't build an offense that's live or die by the 3. Unless you're the golden state warriors it hasn't ever worked.

So what do you build it on?

Unless you have a 6'8 star forward you're building off a sub-optimal schematic.

I hope he decides he wants no part of the Jazz and leaves tomorrow.

**** that POS.

Re-tool how?

Just bring back the Tools we already have. Re-tool.

I don't even think the Mavs played well this series.

At least it was a good game.

I really liked the way Mitchell played offensively (terrible defense for large stretches, but what you going to do).

The 3rd quarter was a nightmare tho. That's where we lost the game.

Sucks that Mike and Bogey really choked down the stretch. Wish Quin would have just called a timeout in that scenario, but alas. I'm glad we didnt just defer to hero ball.

Yeah but Mike’s been doing this long enough not to do THAT.

Really ****ing sad ending. I tuned in right at the end to bid farewell but hoped I didn’t have to.

Bruh he's our only hope. If you leave it up to Ryan Smith and JZ, they are just going to do the safest options. At least Ainge has the power to influence a ballsy move.

Niang and Ingles of last year would have made a massive difference in this series.

Niang was completely unplayable in the playoffs. Shot like 17% from 3. So I guess he would have fit right in.
