    I didn’t expect a win given the B2B, but it sure would have been nice. Glad to see Quin mix it up with Butler there, but really didn’t understand putting him out there with Conley and Clarkson. We needed size and length. Really wish we had a coach willing to mix it up more. Paschall in...

    It was nice to see a competitive game against a good opponent, but definitely watched the whole game knowing the Jazz would end up losing. To be fair, they were down a starter and two rotation players. That said, even fully healthy I don’t think the Jazz win this game. There is something just...

    Man, the guards of the NBA must get so excited when they see the Jazz coming up on their schedule.

    What seed to the Jazz get?

    With 16 games to go, the Jazz are 41-25 and in the 4th seed. They are 4 games behind the Grizzlies for the 2nd seed, 3.5 behind the Warriors for the 3rd, and .5 game ahead of the Mavericks in 5th and 1.5 ahead of the Nuggets in the 6th seed. The Jazz have 8 home and 8 road games left...

    Does anyone still like this team?

    Always and forever a Jazz fan, but definitely have not enjoyed the team this year. Watching games is feeing more like a chore. I never get excited because the whole game I am just waiting for them to fall apart. I am very grateful for League Pass though. I just start fast forwarding as soon as...

    I have a hard time imagining Quin’s job is safe. This team is showing every indicator of being desperately in need of a new leader. You cannot call a coach who hasn’t gotten out is the second round a top 5 coach in the league. That’s a bad take. No coach in NBA history has ever taken 8+ years...

    It wouldn’t surprise me if they lost 5 out of 6 on the upcoming road trip.

    There is no way the Jazz win this game. Popovich is one win away from the record for all time wins and being on the losing side of that type of record is quintessential Jazz.

    Do the Jazz get out of the first round?

    Having now seen 75% of the season, do you see the Jazz getting out of the first round of the playoffs? The likely first round opponents are Dallas or Denver. They may or may not have home court advantage. Less likely but possible first round opponents also include Golden State and Memphis.

    frankly, I don’t think it matters. Whether they finish 3rd or 6th, sadly I don’t see the Jazz getting out of the first round this year.

    And we have two other point guards who can score sitting on the bench collecting 0 minutes.

    7 minutes is all Quin played the end-of-bench guys in the third game of a 5 game road trip that was clearly over midway through the second quarter. Unacceptable. Rudy is right. This team lacks hunger. All season long they’ve played like a team that already knows they are destined for defeat...

    What should be done with Rudy Gay

    I actually would like to see him inserted into the starting lineup. I know it is counter-intuitive, but we know there is no way Quin will bench him. Given how bad the Jazz have started games I would love to see them experiment with different starting lineups. Gay wouldn’t be my first choice...

    I do appreciate this point, but think the other pertinent part of the story you told is that everyone else on the bench went wild. The Jazz need some energy and big dunks can energize a team (see: Memphis Grizzlies). If not Mitchell I hope the Jazz to after another athlete this summer that can...

    Feeling Better About This Team

    So, the Jazz start almost every game by getting behind several points in the first 5 minutes, and end almost every game by giving up big leads in the last five minutes, and yet somehow the lineup that does both of those things is +9 on the season. Seems like perhaps that lineup does better at...

    The Jazz really need to put the ball on Conley’s hands for the last 4 minutes of the game and let the point guard play point! Also, why doesn’t Donovan funk anymore? Watching him this year you’d have no idea this guy won a dunk contest a few years back. His first two years in the league he...

    I think he is already heading to the Bulls. Carlisle had a weird quote about it after last night’s name.

    Feeling Better About This Team

    Yeah, I really resonate with this. I almost never watch games live anymore, I just cannot take it. I watch it on LP afterwards so I can fast forward as needed. Honestly, I feel like I brace myself for watching a game instead of getting excited for it. I obviously think there are some needed...

    Yeah, this one hurt. The last few games started to give some hope and then the Jazz come out and remind us who they really are. This team becomes so tight and timid in clutch situations. You can see it in the way they carry themselves. Once the momentum tide turns against them they...

    I would definitely be willing to try Evans if we had an open roster spot for him.
