My eyeballs tell me that we’ve slipped when it comes to staying in front of the ball. Our on-ball defense has been downright putrid in several games.

I agree. This same group of players has done a much better job of doing these things earlier in the season though. I think it's more of a focus/effort issue than a situation where they just can't do it. Ya know? Hopefully they come out of the All Star break with new focus on that end.
 

We won 50 games last year with what many here felt was a piss poor team lead by Rubio at point guard! We better win 55+ games to justify all the dumb trades we made and letting go Rubio, Favors and a few others!

Let’s hope Mike Conley is leading the way on that. He was a darling for the advanced stats crowd last year on defense. Seems almost inconceivable to me at this point.

It's both. I throw out Udoh's name because one would imagine that situation could lend to applying some pressure to get something done, even if just a buyout. Obviously there are lots of variables and being able to get him isn't a sure thing, but there are a number of options out there that aren't sure things... but between the trade deadline and free agency, if you've got like 8-9 different options that all would have a 25% likelihood of being able to happen, then striking out on all of them indicates there's lack of urgency about the situation.

Integrating into Snyder's system takes work and time. You also risk alienating players. And given the Davis and Green scenarios, the grass might not always be greener. That's why Ekpe makes the most sense to me.
 
I'm still on board despite the overwhelming negative attitude on this board.

We are slumping but we will pick it up again. This is still the best Snyder team and probably still the best team since Stockton and Malone days.

I knew we'd slump at some point but i didnt think it would be this long or this bad defensively. A likely first round matchup with Houston probably doesnt help the jazz fan mindset at the moment. I honestly think I'd rather play any other team.

But there is still some season left to play to play. We've hit rock bottom, we can only go up from here.
 
Currently watching the Bucks playing the Raptors, man I wish the Jazz played like the Bucks. They're well team oriented and play well together. I sure hope the Jazz rebound tomorrow against the Celtics.

I felt like the jazz did play that way during that long stretch without Conley

Tbh I think it needs to hurt more to cause the proper amount of remorse to create enough motivation. Im sure that's not popular, but it's my take. Last time I felt this way about the team is right before sloan retired.
