Lot of lulz in this thread with people thinking NAW or THT has a shot in hell at guarding Dame
I have the feeling that NAW is as much in the future Jazz plans as Juancho.This
This is the AAU era where everyone is buddy/buddy. Players don't do that anymore.What is wrong with this picture: Kyrie drops 48 on us and then Dame has his performance. If Sloan were coach there would at least been some bruises and dried blood on those two.
Yeah we have no perimeter defenders, like none whatsoever, so guards and wings will feast on us. It has been happening all year. We have had a few good games where we played decent team D, but in the end you need someone who can at least keep up with a Dame and get a hand in his face now and then. And then, on a night like last night, maybe he ends up with 40 instead of 60, who knows? Sometimes there is literally just nothing you can do. It is the nature of the beast.What is wrong with this picture: Kyrie drops 48 on us and then Dame has his performance.

Did someone say they do? I saw people saying to try some different options. Not that any of them would sure fire work.Lot of lulz in this thread with people thinking NAW or THT has a shot in hell at guarding Dame
On those few good games where they played decent D it was more due to effort than our guys being great defenders. I just very much doubt we get those types of efforts anymore from dudes that know they'll likely be playing on another team in the next 10 days or so.Yeah we have no perimeter defenders, like none whatsoever, so guards and wings will feast on us.

Should have tried Udoka cuz you never know it's something different right?Did someone say they do? I saw people saying to try some different options. Not that any of them would sure fire work.

Good lord you are a giant tool. You just can't admit your boy Hardy is stubborn idiot half the time.Should have tried Udoka cuz you never know it's something different right?
There is different and then there is extreme hyperbolic difference that no coach in the league would try. The latter wasn't being discussed though.Should have tried Udoka cuz you never know it's something different right?
Suggesting NAW and THT can guard Dame isnt extreme hyperbolic?There is different and then there is extreme hyperbolic difference that no coach in the league would try. The latter wasn't being discussed though.
It basically comes down to either we are going to get roasted with a drop big (WK) out there or we are going to go switching where our personnel is *** for switching.Locke broke down all of the Damian Lillard field goals from last night on his podcast today. It's worth a listen, in my opinion. Locke sees things little differently than I saw them, but I appreciated his perspective.
He's a 35 year old rookie head coach who has done an incredible job. Sorry he is not a miracle worker who can teach a bad defensive team how to guard Damian Lillard in January.Good lord you are a giant tool. You just can't admit your boy Hardy is stubborn idiot half the time.
Why didn’t Dok, the largest of the Jazzmen, not simply eat Dame?Should have tried Udoka cuz you never know it's something different right?
That's kinda what I'm getting at with my previous comment. Opposing iso players eyes must light up when seeing our team on the schedule. Mind you it's felt that way since like Kobe daysIts not even all about getting the stops... its also about having a guy someone like Dame has to worry about. Whether its solid defense, steals, physical play.... we dont have anyone who causes concern for opposing guards. So they can play loose and its all about whether they hit their shots or not.
