People saying Don isn't clutch are nuts. Half the teams who have beat us wouldn't have were it not for his horrific fourth quarter play. Without him our opponents wouldn't have a prayer! He's very clutch, it's just for the opposing team.

I follow 2 teams in NBA. Memphis and Utah. The difference between how the 2 teams is obvious. At Memphis, when one player make a good play . all then bench will stand up and show happiness like a bunch of kids happpy to be together. Then you look at Jazz team and bench players seems for most of them not interested..... Utah may have better players than Memphis but cohesion and team spirit is just not here....

When we’re up big and there is no guarantee Draymond gets an actual wide open layup I’m not sure the best idea there is letting Klay shoot an actual wide open 3.

I mean who cares. When the choice is between a wide open lane to the basket or a wide open 3, the defense has already failed.

Royce getting demolished trying to follow guards around screens at the end of close games has been a staple of this team. The problem isn't that Gobert can't correctly decide whether to give up the layup or the open 3, it's that he's put into that situation to begin with.

Mitchell saying after the game " we'll figure it out". Does he mean where they'll be vacationing here in a couple of weeks?

15 games lost with double digit leads in the second half. Well, that certainly validates what it has felt like to be a Jazz fan this year…

Do you think there is any other coach in the league who would see his team fall apart in the same way 15 times and not at least experiment with a different closing lineup? That lineup of Conley, Clarkson, House, Hernangomez, and Gobert was playing fantastic. Maybe close with them.

Is this a Quin scheme?

This! Until Gobert can get out on the shooter we can’t win. They ran this 4 straight times. It was Green’s way of showing he isn’t defensive player of the year. It’s his Achilles hill. Get out on the shooter!

The ******** rose covered glasses for Gobert on this site is blinding. The League knows he can’t cover outside the paint. But it’s Royce’s and Donovan’s fault. Give me a ****ing break. Call it as it’s seen not as you all see it.

Royce didn't switch. If Gobert gets out on the shooter, nobody is guarding Draymond and the paint is wide open.

The defense had already failed before Gobert had to make the choice between giving up the 3 or the layup.

I can't fathom just how these guys are such chokers. I've never seen anything quite like it in my life.

I also have no clue why Royce is getting so many minutes, other than terrible horrible coaching.

They may have shot the small opening in the Death Star that blew it up, but it’s silly to think they’d try that again. It’s like lightening striking the same place twice. What needs to happen is the Tie Fighter pilots need to be more committed to being the best pilots they can.

- Quin, probably, as someone with long tenure in the Empire. Or at least President Scroob.

It’s all coaching. Remember, this is the coach who pretended Ricky Rubio was a shooter. He envisions a system and then plugs players in whether they fit or they don’t. It’s why I lulz at all the “this guy can’t shoot so he wouldn’t fit what Quin wants to do” takes when Quin is perfectly fine throwing a lot of other guys out there who also don’t fit his system but he pretends otherwise. Some guys, though. Not others.

Damn! Watch it. There is no guarantee that Green makes it. And last time I checked 3 is more than two. Take the layup. Or **** the even the foul make him earn it. Stop with this ****ing Gobert makes no mistakes. He was exploited AGAIN!!!!

Rudy has to trust his help. If they fail that is on them. But tonight. That’s in him. And there is video proof of it. And you can’t say otherwise cause your opinion says otherwise to what the video shows.
