    Feeling Better About This Team

    Nuggets and Mavs both with wins, Wolves down big after the 3rd q. At this point I am resolved to either the 6th or 7th seed.

    Game Thread Mar 31, 2022 08:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Lakers

    If we lose to the Lakers, the next two are on the road at Golden State and home against Memphis, both losses. That would mean an 8 game losing streak before a next possible win at home against the Thunder. The last two are home against Phoenix, who may be resting players for the playoffs and...

    Rebuild Thread

    What the Jazz need is Chris Paul. He is the leader the team needs to get Mitchell to play within the system and the facilitator Gobert needs to get his touches. I’m pretty sure he’s not available and I cannot think of anyone else the Jazz could possibly acquire for that role without giving up...

    Fire Snyder!!!

    I disagree. This is something more. The thing that is so frustrating is that this team is actually good. They are not true title contenders because of their poor defense, but at their best they are clearly one of the top 5 teams in the league. They definitely need a new coach and perhaps a team...

    At some point you probably just need to adopt a strategy of never getting a double digit lead. You can’t lose what you never have.

    This will absolutely break the team if they lose this one. If they weren’t broken already, this will do it.

    Man, this really does setup the darkest timeline for the Jazz, doesn't it? Jazz drop a bunch of games at the end of the season and end up falling from the 3rd seed to the 7th seed, where they get matched up against the Clippers for the first play-in game. The Clippers defeat the Jazz (again)...

    Does anyone still like this team?

    I’m not sure SGA would make much of a difference, even if he was available. If the Jazz need to move one of the two, Donovan obviously has more trade value and seems more likely to demand a trade anyways (at some point). Trying to rebuild with Donovan seems a little risky, as the team would...

    You are kidding, right? Karl Malone tried to get David Locke and Tom Nissalke fired. https://www.deseret.com/1998/6/16/19386071/malone-wants-k-fan-shakeup?_amp=true

    Should Donovan be the starting point guard next season?

    I was just thinking this earlier today. The Jazz’s offense is best in the league per the offensive rating metric, but I’m guessing if you asked the other 29 teams in the league they probably wouldn’t even have the Jazz in the top 5 offenses they worry about, maybe not even the top 10. From a...

    There is no question that Donovan holds the key to this team’s ultimate success. The problem is that he is not (yet) good enough. Here’s the real question: Are the mistakes he is making now necessary growing pains on his way to superstardom or is he just learning bad habits? I think Donovan...

    Yeah, I think this team lost confidence in themselves some time ago.

    The Celtics shot 59% for the game. That simply cannot happen. That is a team not even trying on defense

    I could easily see the Jazz lose all of the games remaining on this road trip. Charlotte is playing really good right now, there is no way we beat Dallas, and the Clippers are looking for a revenge game. I would not be surprised at all to see the Jazz in the 6th seed.

    Does anyone still like this team?

    I saw that too, but it makes no sense at all. The Lakers were the top seed by a wide margin in 2000. I suppose they could have tried to avoid the Jazz the next two years: in 2001 the Lakers finished 2nd and Jazz 4th and Shaq missed 8 games; in 2002 the Lakers finished 3rd and the Jazz 8th and...

    Rumor that Quin could replace Popovich when he retires

    I would be happy to see Quin move on. He is a good coach, but things have just gotten stale with Utah. Doing the same things over and over regardless of outcome, making up your mind about certain players despite what happens on the court. I’ve said this already but will keep repeating: no...

    Should Donovan be the starting point guard next season?

    Why? I bet Conley would have a pretty large market actually. He is a great teammate, veteran, elite shooter, and plays well on both sides of the floor. Only issue for the Jazz is his size. Plus, the last year of his contract is only partially guaranteed. Off the top of my head I could see...

    Should Donovan be the starting point guard next season?

    I like Mitchell more as a SG, but two 6’1 guards doesn’t work. Either get a tall PG or move Donovan there. If they go Donovan as PG they definitely should invest in a veteran PG to come of the bench.
