[MTS]

As is Rudy's inability to play offense. But the board is torn here.

We had a poll actually - the board isn't torn.

If we don't beat this Mavs team will be the most laughed at in the NBA, again!

I still can't get over the fact that the Mavs ran the same play over and over and over and over again, and the Jazz couldn't seem to counter it. How does that happen to a professional basketball team?

I don't think anyone thinks Rudy is a superstar. But we don't see many bigs going off for career highs and record scoring binges in the playoffs, do we?

Gobert was pretty bad tonight...but holy ****, he wasn't the only one.

I mean, who was good for the Jazz tonight?

Most of Gobert's badness came in the 1st quarter. Outside of that he was dominating the glass, which is the only thing that kept Utah in this game.

They watched the Clippers game and copied it to a T

The coach has zero answers. And again the FO knew that perimeter D was our biggest issue for THREE YEARS!! and did ****-all about it.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

and anyone mentioned how our starting point guard fail to score any point in a playoff game?

I thought only Ben Simmons is capable of achieving this feat in modern day NBA

Yes i told it from the beginning of the game. Mike really sucks tonight. And Quinn benched him early does not help him to find the rythm...

I love it when we combine scared, rushed, Donovan Mitchell hero ball with the inability of anyone on the team besides Rudy to guard anyone.

Careful, that's the System you're talking about.

Yep true we like paying one dimensional players so much money that get exploited in the playoffs that can't create their own offense. Wonderful

If you think Rudy is the one that got exploited, you didn't understand what you were watching.
