[fishonjazz]

Well this weekend sucked. Jazz lose two home games against teams they should beat, byu loses a game that I think was played in some version of hell to a team they should beat, and I have been at work the whole time.
Im going fishing tomorrow morning. Hopefully I have fun and catch some fish and dont die or something

Suns and Warriors aren’t losing games like this. That’s the difference.

Watching the Suns in the clutch is just something else. They value the hell out of each and every possession, move the ball extremely well, and work damn hard to get a good shot off. The Jazz just settle for garbage and the ball movement completely dies.

It's fascinating. By almost every metric, the stats would paint the Jazz as the superior team. But what the stats don't track is that the Suns are hard as hell to beat in the clutch, whereas the Jazz are very miserable in those same situations.

And the problems aren't that difficult to identify - it's mind-blowing to me that nothing has been done to fix it. This has been a years-long issue.

Nah. It is the way.

The sky isn't falling after Jazz fall to Wizards, but some things need to be addressed

With 15 seconds remaining, Donovan Mitchell lined up across from former teammate Raul Neto for a pivotal jump ball. He lost it, and the Jazz lost the game.

Royce is so overrated as a perimeter defender.

Very overated.Also jc and don took 22 3 s and had 7 To . Rudy with 4 to didn't help.

At least DWill won tonight.

We need a clutch player on this team...is Joe Johnson still in basketball shape?

Ainge is here to save the day! Let the shakeup (did not say BLOW UP) begin!

Another night with dudes hitting ridiculous shots at the end. I mean we run some dumb hero ball with donovan taking highly contested bad shots but both teams that just beat us made highly contested bad shots at the end.

Honestly, how many times are we going to loose at the buzzer??

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Depressing. What happened to the strategy of feeding it down low that made us look dominant for half of that 8 game winning streak?
