3 pointer

There was one play, after Burks made a great dunk, Minny brought the ball up the floor and Burk standing in the key, and his man was on the wing, got the ball and shot a wide open three and nailed it.

The jazz wings were way out of position all night, and minny caught on and took advantage.

This keeps happening. It isn't just that teams are getting lucky. Jazz don't play perimeter defense and really, I don't know when they ever have.
 
You play like you practice.

Jazz have no good 3 point shooters, so they never have to guard the 3 point line in practice scrimmages with any intensity.

On the flip side, CJ Miles and Hayward probably make a decent percentage of 3s in practice scrimmages because they're shooting against Jazz defenders. Then when they face real defences in a game, they can't hit the ocean from a boat.

And so the next practice scrimmage, the defence doesn't close out on them thinking they're not good shooters, their shooting percentage goes up to normal because they're unguarded, they think they have their shot back, next game they shoot against real defence and fail while the defence leaves real shooters open....

Exactly. Ty is just carrying on with Ol' Jers tradition of ignoring that commie-pinko-wussie invention of the 3 point shot. He is valiantly protecting our manhood and precious bodily fluids!

The Jazz are 9th in the league in 3P% defense. Of course that may have been before last night but last year we were 29th. That's a big improvement but don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant.

What has happened lately? We have been killed on the 3 ball, by bench players. I see zero recognition of coaching emphasis to stop the 3 ball when guys like Matt Bonner, known for nothing other than the 3 ball, are allowed to go off for 5 of 6. Inexcusable.
 
Earlier in the season, when we were looking like a legit playoff team, there were games we won where I thought, "if the other team would have just made their WIDE-OPEN 3-pt shots, we would have lost this one" In fact, I bet if you went back and re-watched those games, you'd see guy's were almost always left wide open for 3 and would clank em.

Now that teams are warmed up and the season is fully going, guys are making those wide open shots and it's making the Jazz look worse and worse.

Steve Kerr spoke years ago about shooters getting a big smile on their face when heading to SLC because they knew they would get a lot of open looks. Apparently Ty learned all he knows about this from Ol' Jer.

You're talking about 3 guys in the last 3 games, Lowry, Bonner, and Barea, who lit us up. In the previous 10 games the Jazz allowed a 3P% of 27%. Boston leads the league at 30% for the season so 27% is pretty good. If you take out Lowry, Bonner, and Barea the Jazz have allowed a 3P% of less than 29% over the last 10 games. The problem doesn't seem to be "zero recognition of coaching emphasis to stop the 3" or "that teams are warmed up and the season is fully going". It seems to be our inability to recognize and disrupt the hot hand.
 
read your own post my2cents. You have your numbers and circumstances a widdle fouled up.
