Game Thread Apr 23, 2022 02:30PM MT: Jazz vs. Mavericks - Game 4

[Sean]

All you doubters, whiners and negative Nancys, this is where the system begins to shine. The reversion to the statistical mean will have occurred, Jupiter will have alighted with Mars and Quin's genius will be on full display.

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquinarius...

From the #1 offense in the NBA in the regular season to this...

At times last night Mitchell, Conley, Royce and Bogey would have been lit up by chairs glued to the floor.

Chairs would have done a better job on defense.

 

[Avery]

I think Luka sits G4. Gives him more rest and they will like their chances of taking 2 of 3 at home even if they go back tied.

 

[bopahull]

Ingles was the heart of this team. No heart no life.

Remember that stint after Donovan came back from his concussion when he was playing some of the best defense of his career and was giving great effort on that end of the floor? That was fun while it lasted.

He also couldn't miss from 3. He was playing his best basketball of the season. Last night? No defense and 1-8 from three. Maybe he needed to get concussed again right before the end of the season so he would be ready to go when game one arrived lol.

Didn't think it was possible but Mitchell is Rockets Harden level bad on Defense

 

[Agent#00]

just play the reserves and see who we can keep next year.

Lillard is pretty much the same, tbh.

 

[LoPo]

Funny how this thread turned into a Donovan bitch fest.

Remember, the Rudy defense is actually the issue. You know, the one where Rudy's guy went 4-5 from 3 in the first half. You know, the 5 out lineup that totally exposes our Rudy system?

Donovan's defense sucks/sucked but we aren't losing because of it. We are losing because the Rudy system has been exposed and he is even getting in the way on offense.

But hey, keep on blaming your scapegoat

Quin's smrt. He tells everybody so. Why can't he design plays that burn the Mavs when they go small? I mean totally singes them?

The problem here is that every time you say “the Rudy system,” you fail to be talking about Rudy. You can’t superimpose Rudy’s image over Quin’s doing. And, to a fairly large extent, Donovan’s defensive deficiencies also have many Quin fingerprints on them.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I'm beginning to think we might be better off if Luka does come back. I think we'll target him on defense pretty much every time down the floor.

I just think we’ve gotten ourselves to an interesting place… where we think a team getting back a top ten player will help us. I’m not disagreeing I’m just saying this is where we are.

This is such a moronic post even by your standards.

Lopo sees a guy drive by Mitchell with no resistance, sees Rudy forced to come help, sees the ball get passed to "Rudy's guy" as a result, and sees "Rudy's guy" get the wide open 3, and thinks Rudy's defense is the issue.

It’s weird for sure, but if I could go back, I’d take Kawhi in the whole series because I know how the alternative ended. We’re close to knowing how this alternate storyline ends.

I have decided, much like the Jazz, that imma just enjoy Cancun rather than participate in this game.

Don shouldn't be guarding their 1st or 2nd option especially since he has to be our offensive catalyst.

Quin has let us down. The FO has let us down. Everybody including Rudy is getting smoked.

But the same clowns always turn it into a Donovan Mitchell whining session. It's like a dam middle school cafeteria in here.

Zach Lowe even busted Quins chops a bit in his pod. “Hoping it doesn’t work out the same way as before isn’t a strategy”. Said if they lose they should consider a full blow up and then had a frustrated “I can’t do this anymore” that felt like it came straight from my soul.

This team is broken… duct taping together some half *** retool will leave us getting junk yard value for the parts left over… not to mention a repair bill. Do it now in one big offseason and take the pain but get a premium for it.

This season reminds me of The Green Mile - but the mouse dies in this one.

Yeah, this has more of a Of Mice and Men ending feel
