**** Bobby! Dude is elbowing everyone in the league. Once even broke his team mates jaw. I

Jazz just don't like teams sitting their stars against us. So we play low to their level. This is DA Jedi mind trick!!

It is crazy how insanely stupid Hardy can be at times. I don't think I have ever seen a coach have such headscratching low points.

When Hardy emptied the bench those guys played as bad as our reserves of the last couple of years. All hail Oni.

15-7 offensive rebounds advantage for bucks

Portis had 14 rebounds
Jazz starters 11 rebounds total

Need more sleep

Coach Hardy blathers on about physicality yet he plays Gay so many minutes and he bails on any risk of getting the slightest bump. Sometimes you gotta look in the mirror about where the trouble begins.

Kessler was giving up uncontested three point on every Bucks possession. He didn't deserve minutes, neither did Gay or KO. Hardy should have tried Lauri at the 5 with Vando at the 4 to help him on the boards.

Should have played zone.

Kinda want to see how we play without KO.
Nice not to have to watch him flop, flail, and stumble all over the court at least.
We would miss his shooting and passing ability but wouldnt miss his lack of rebounding and defense.

Plus he might be forced to play vando and kessler at the same time. Gasp!

Going back to the preseason esp in that Toronto game it was obvious this team would struggle against longer, athletic teams. Milwuakee, Boston, and Toronto are probably the 3 worst matchups for this Jazz team. Luckily those lengthy teams are in the East.

The Jazz played the Pels without Ingram in those wins too. Long, athletic players are their kryptonite. Finding a 6'-8"+ skilled athlete type that can rebound, defend, shoot a little needs to be the top priority for Ainge in this next draft and there should be a few of them available. We can't be using Rudy Gay against some of these lengthy teams.

Don’t understand the point of Rudy Gay. He continues to not shoot well and he never has contributed anything else. I’d rather see more Kesler and… whatever else we have on the bench. I think Gay is what he is; a spent vet who has had a great career.

Perhaps we get to see Potter in the next game. The Jazz can find out if he is a keeper or the next Tyler Cavanaugh.
