An explanation of why, mathematically, this has been the most frustration Jazz season of all time.

If we put big money on anyone, it should be a PG. Going out and overpaying for a starting caliber wing to be our 3rd or 4th wing isn't solving any issues.

If Jazz win by 10 or more, they'll have a differential of +2.0 or better. I wonder if that's ever happened in a 16 team playoff with 30 total teams.

permitter defense is not a known whole. No team defended SFs better than the Jazz. Carroll isn't a creating wing-- and he shot pretty putridly from the field despite having two excellent shot-creators playing next to him (and several coming off the bench).

The known whole was PG play. 20 minutes of Burks will not suffice. Anyone with eyes will quickly realize this.

perimeter defense was a known hole. Anybody who watches the jazz knows this. Glad you mentioned just the SF, doe. You're really on top of it.

Sounds like the play of a really young team. I wonder where the Jazz team ranks as far as age goes...

Quin Snyder was on the radio this week with Spencer Checketts and Gordon Monson. He essentially said exactly what I did in the OP.

Didn't give me any credit though

Last season was definitely one of the most disappointing in recent memory. Thinking back at the losses, think if you have a veteran leader at point guard who can be relied on to quarterback the team we don't blow as many leads as we did.

I would do Crowder for Burks. That's it. The former isn't that good but has some toughness and could become the great perimeter defender we need. I think I would love that trafe actually. Just not a big Burks fan.

That's an interesting trade idea, actually. Both teams could see it as a way to balance out the skill set of their guards. I don't know how interested I am (for me, it might come down to who we draft), but it is worth considering.

One problem may be Crowder starts for them and may become disenchanted here. Still, I would really like that trade. You do that and sign Conley, and draft Maker, our toughness goes up 10x.

I don't know if Celtics would do it since Burks has missed a lot of games the past two seasons.

When your giving a guy 10 million a year you better hope he can play more than 30 games

I got five pages in and I didn't see my thought posted, so here it is:

Why does Snyder get such a HUGE pass around here?

The problem wasn't injuries, or we would have seen a huge drop off when our players went down. Our problem was the 4th quarter.

That's the beginning and end of it. We suck in the 4th quarter. Yeah, it would be nice to have more talent...but why is our talent so great the first three quarters and then we disappear in the 4th?

We were out coached in the 4th quarter. Other teams made adjustments. We did the same thing we did all game...and fell apart.

I'm not saying we should move on from Snyder, I like the extension. I'd rather they hired Horny mid-season when Corbin was terrible...but that's neither here nor there.

BUT, Snyder needs to get better and get better fast. HE was what held us back last year.

And we need Exum back healthy and attacking like he did in the SL game.
