Warriors blew the Jazz out whilst shooting 24.1% from 3..
82 shots for both of us, they made two more than we did.
They shot 9 more FT's than we did. And at a higher percentage.
We had twice as many TO's.
And they had 7 more assists than we did.
It feels like we didn't play our ball offensively very well at all.
Review foul's... see what was good, and what was bad. Calm ourselves down a bit. Play us ball.

"Ignore me" is a great slogan for you, PG_AB.

It's just one game.

So we defended the three point line pretty well. Now we just need to shut down their runs and find a rhythm on offense and we got this. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Now AB is just in full blown desperation mode for attention. Just ignore the troll.
There is always a glass-half full or empty approach.
Half-full is that they only beat us because they dominated transition buckets, even above their usual level. Limit transition attempts and the Jazz have proven they can slow them down in their half-court sets. Jazz also need to do a better job themselves of creating turnovers and defense into offense transition opportunities to prevent the Warriors from setting their half-court defense every possession. This isnt the Clippers where we can execute into the late clock for mismatches. Has to be more of a focus on ball movement and taking our open looks. Cant rely on isolation against the Warriors.

That's kinda what I was going with, just trying not to invoke the meme.
One game all of these things contributed to our loss. Don't get hindered over it.. just watch the tapes, take your xanax, adjust a bit, and we'll be closer next time.
Warriors can and will shoot better from three. But they shot lower percent this game because of defense. We did a good job of getting hands in their faces and running them off the line. Jazz also missed a lot of threes but the Jazz missed open shots. Warriors can hit contested threes but obviously it is less consistent. Hayward isn't going to miss that many wide open shots most games.

I saw this game a lot like game 6 in the last series. The Jazz were nervous, tight, and unprepared for the intensity. Let's face it, Golden State is really the superior team. We looked like we were running in mud, they looked like they were all Carl Lewis. The speed of their game took us by surprise. We will have a tough time winning one in this series.
But I also see it as a wake-up call, like game 6 was in the last series. And if there is one thing this team has shown it is an ability to bounce back. I expect game 2 to be a lot closer, even if it is a loss. Quinn has shown he can make effective between-game adjustments. The team will loosen up a bit, make more shots. The D will adjust to the Warriors speed. But above all, like we showed briefly in the 3rd quarter, if we play aggressively we have a shot. If we play like we are already beaten, well we wouldn't have a shot against anyone.

Narrative bias and a poor choice of words. It's glorious how y'all NEED delusion to justify your arguments with me. There's no proof of what you just said, it's just your opinion, a theory. That all, not even a well formed one. Child please.
I'm here to discuss basketball not looking for attention. The levels of denial in this thread are hysterical. Not because the stat I've cited is deniable, but because of the source. Which is called prejudice.
Because it comes from me, it must be "fake news" amiright? Thats called DENIAL.Ha

What'd you have in mind? There's oh so many elephants in the room. The Mob mentality has it's focus elsewhere though.
