I think the Jazz's biggest problem right now is that none of their rotation guards or wings are knock-down perimeter shooters. Defenses just back off and clog the lane like they always have.

If you're playing against the Jazz, you just back off Trey, Alec, Gordon and Exum and let them try to beat you with the long ball. I think what Snyder is trying to do just doesn't work if your guys shoot 33% on jumpers.

All our guys are pretty good going to the rim, but none of them are deadly outside shooters. They're all streaky at best.

This offense seems to get wide open 15-20 footers and the jazz take them.

I'm not sure if taking those shots is a good idea or not (seems that's what the defense wants you to do) but it seems to be the gameplan right now.
Trey, Alec, hayward, kanter, all get alot of open looks from that range.

Hayward has been hitting them before tonight, Burks was hitting them tonight, kanter has been hitting them too.

Should we continue to shoot them?

I don't understand Quin substitutions...he benchs players when they are hot...he benched Booker early in the 4th quarter when he was on fire on defense...then he put him back on the court in the last minute over Kanter without sense!

Quin had his worst game coaching tonight.He needs to quit overcoaching and relax so his team can understand what the heck he is thinking.

Gotta feel bad for Favors choking out there in his ATL. Horrific pass to Booker, and backing off Korver. Ouch.

That's what the defenses are giving us. It's not like we make them pay like Dirk Nowitzki or anything.

Those shots will be there with 5 seconds left. No reason to take them with 14 seconds left. Work for a better shot.

Those two possesions could have won the game for us but so a lot of other things. I almost jumped out of my bed thinking Favors was going for a dunk. That would have been awesome.

I agree.
The question is, should the jazz players just pass up those open shots or keep shooting them?

If we pass those looks up, we might end up taking a more difficult shot later in the possession/shot clock

Good answer. And I agree..... I wonder if snyder is encouraging these types of shots or if he gets mad at those types of attempts

It is called overconfidence...I hope he will learn quickly from these mistakes!

He said in preseason I think that they need to step back and hit the 3pt shot. I don't think any coach wants his players to take long 2s early in the clock.
