Why do we play so slow?

We are going to be battling for a top 5 pick if we don't pick up the pace a little. Our half-court offense is terrible. Does anyone on our team know how to set an off-ball screen? I feel like they are just walking through the motions and not actually impeding the defenders progress. That's what the Flex is all about right? Cutters, motion, quick passing, backdoor cuts, etc. This leads to no one getting open and someone just jacking up a deep two.

I don't think so....

Didn't we trade our pick away?

Thought we did...
 
We have our pick if we make the lottery. It is Minnesota's but it has protection. So losing let's us keep it.
Several reasons why the Jazz don't run: You have to get the rebound, too many turnovers, getting stops, PG who walks the ball up and some big men who are slow and laziness.

The lack of effort by many of the players is the most troublesome issue with the team. The guys don't even look like they care or think they can win.
 
Watching the game last night the biggest problem was defense. Say what you will about turnovers playing slow or what ever. You can't be a good team if you can't get stops. The jazz have always had turnover problems, and as bad as the defense has been over the last few years, yesterday was worse.

And don't just blame Al or Harris or bell for the bad defense, because there defense was a total team effort or lack there of. I'm also speaking of Hayward Favors Watson and yes Millsap too. They were no better then the rest.
 
I would say favors didn't play enough to say he was bad defensively. And Nene didn't do much when favors was in the game.

I see it the other way around. Our offense is so bad it leads to offense for the other team. If we could make some buckets, it would allow us to set up our defense better. Also I think our guys get so discouraged from how badly they are offensively that it effects our defense.
