Ummm

17 Uncontested 3's, just amazing. It honestly felt like more.

Why do scrubs always light us up? Damn

Because no NBA player is a scrub when they get to shoot wide open.

Did Rudy go 2-9 in the fourth? How many points did Rudy allow compared to Donovan and his "stifling" (non existent) defense?

I didn't blame Rudy. I blamed the system. The same system Rudy Gay questioned and he hasn't played since.

It clearly doesn't work.

Rudy Gobert still couldn't shoot it if left open

Cmon man. You know he could but the passes to him are never in the right place....

Clarkson also lit them up pretty good. 8/11 for 21 points and he was attacking bullock their 2nd best defender. we should have played him more.

The former 6th man has been playing really well this series

From the quotes after the game, from what I gather, is that Bogey is supposed to rotate down here, then House rotates to Bogey's guy and Donovan should rotate back up top to House's guy. Would be pretty simple defense actually. Our guys are being a little undersized and slow doesn't help our ability to rotate and help the helper, but specifically on this play it should have been easy. Mitchell needs to contain Dinwiddie better, obviously, but Bogey has to rotate. Maybe Juancho could have been better at recognizing the rotation here?

If our guards can't defend in isolation and our wings can't rotate then you have to find a way to get Gobert at the point of attack.

bogey always gets lost in rotation. this goes back to the clippers series last year when he would occasionally bump with Joe.

Neither does Donovan in crunch time.

So I guess I agree that this system is garbage.

Way too many BYU, Duke, and Baylor fingerprints all over this Jazz franchise. Basically the axis of evil for this USU and Kansas alum.

I guess it’s no wonder I find basically the whole lot of them sans Rudy unlikable as hell.
