Lol, judging by that awkward mic’d up moment between he and Donovan until Donovan almost told him with his facial expression “I’m mic’d” it was like Quin was clowning the “get Rudy the ball” stuff being pushed. Almost like he was okay with Rudy fumbling it because it would prove his coaching right/Donovan’s approach right. If it was what it came off as, it’s disgusting coaching.

That's inexcuseable if true.

Does

It was terrible. Donovan gave him like a look as if to say “remember I’m mic’d up” and Quin tried to play it off. No wonder the Jazz are a joke, it’s starts with their joke of a coach and cliques on the team.

anyone have a clip of this? I missed it

They had a chance to put this series away tonight, and perhaps get rest before playing Phoenix.

Instead, Luka probably comes back in Game 3 or 4, and this turns into a 6-7 game series.

Anyone thinking this team has a chance to compete with Phoenix at this compete is kidding themselves. This is who they are. They'll be lucky to beat this Dallas team.

It was kinda rough. It is kinda amazing that Quin can’t see the difference between what people are asking for and what he did. I’m not a big feed Rudy the ball guy to be honest but post ups? Nah… then joking like hey we paid our taxes… now we can do what we really want.

I think they wait for game 4 now. If they get game 3 then they may wait for game 5. This buys them a little more time and we are playing with fire. We don’t make stuff hard for other teams… we just don’t. The locker room interviews were very… “hey we are cool we got the split… why y’all tripping?”

It is unlikely that they shoot this well again, but what isn’t unlikely is that they could find ways to win again. If it’s not shooting, it could be something else. Then for that one game we could say that it’s unlikely they do _____ again. They almost beat us in game 1. The question is, when they need a big play down the stretch, can they come up more times than not? Conversely, if we need to convert down the stretch or get a stop, can we bitch that more times than we succeed? I believe the answer to both questions is yes, which makes amalgamated regular season statistics have a much weaker correlation with what we’re going to see in these highly specified scenarios.

Um... No... it's NOT. That's the issue. The league understands how to counter Gobert. Pull him 2 steps in to the paint and swing the ball to the side he is covering. It's the same thing everyone has done against us and Quin has no counter. The Clippers as a TEAM shot 75% against us. 8 / 10 is what we should expect on wide open threes with no contest from the wing when teams KNOW they won't have pressure.

Predictable outcome. It will be maddening to watch this episode over again.

Quin has got to go. Gobert cannot play without an adjustment and we didn't learn. Piss poor showing.

It was on the NBATV broadcast. I’ve looked for the posted clips of Donovan mic’d from the night but I can only find game 1 clips, none from tonight. It was just a weird *** moment where it was like they were both in agreement “that’s why we don’t give him the ball” kind of proud moment or something.

Agreed, no one is asking to force feed Rudy. It’s like he takes things to an extreme instead of doing the reasonable adjustments just to prove a point. No one is asking for Rudy post ups.

Trivia question for the "Gobert got exposed" truthers: What happens if Gobert stays on the perimeter to guard Kleiber?

Keep Gobert in the paint...

Let WHOEVER drive in to the key. Royce takes away this corner. Bogey traps in his corner. Donovan and House cove the 45s and top. I like my chances allowing the penetration but then one vs one against Gobert in the paint. The problem is that Bogey doesn't assist Gobert and if he does then they go back to the 45s. So LET THEM DRIVE IN TO GOBERT AND LET HIM GO ONE VS ONE. It's the most logical adjustment. It takes away corner 3s. It takes away the drive and kick because we don't collapse so there is no kick. It ain't rocket science. But Quin has had 3 years to think about it and he's got nothing but to bench Rudy Gay after all the talk of adjustments.

We watched the same lineups and the same responses and now we get to watch the same results in the playoffs.

PISS PISS PISS POOR jazz.

He had that smug convo with Donovan too “we fed the big guy… pause for smirk… keep looking for the lob”.

I’m convinced he’s outta here… I’m ready for it. Just don’t bring in Doc.

Anyone have a video of this? I'd love to see it.

I’ll DVR the replay of the Jazz/Mavs game that replays tonight. It should be on there, if it’s not posted by then I’ll try to remember to try and get it in the morning. It’s on the NBATV broadcast in the 2nd quarter I believe.

 

[oneye]

If I do not, it will be because it may be blacked out for 3 days. I’m hoping it will record fine, but I wasn’t watching it on my TV I was watching it on a feed. It’s possible the replay I try to record will be blacked out. If you’re outside Utah and can record the replay that’s on in a couple hours do it please lol.
