Your interpretation of what I said, is not accurate. The point I'm trying to make is that Rudy's effort was lacking during that third quarter when Mann went off. Maybe he was tired. Then Quin should've given him some rest because the Clippers were scoring at will even though Rudy was in there. Morgan or Favors couldn't have done any worse and would've at least added a little offense.

Rudy was playing hurt. He had an MRI on his back after the game.

That's even more reason Quin should've taken him out.

It reminds me of when the Red Sox manager wanted to take his star pitcher out in the playoffs, get's talked out of it by the pitcher and the first batter hits a game winning homerun. The manager got canned.

The Jazz is easy to hate because they do absolutely nothing when it counts the most. If they were winners, it'd be much harder to hate on 'em because you'd be able to just toss out the fact they've won rings. That seems to shut a lot of people up pretty quickly. It's why all the LeBron hate goes nowhere because he's won rings.
Imagine Troll Maxwell had the Jazz put things together and won it all. He'd be neutered and his attacks only seen as desperate - not actively working.
Until the Jazz ever shake the loser tag, they're going to be easy to pick on. Not only do they come from a state perceived to be the most racist in the Union (weird, of course, considering there's the whole South and all) but their actual success (or lack thereof, I guess) when it counts makes it easy to dunk on 'em.

You are right Quinn should have tried something else, also because he did get injured after that fall, but mainly because he had given Rudy an impossible task. But your assessment that his problems were entirely based on effort is ********. He wasn't slacking off, he had an impossible task. He was expected to stay with Mann, something any center in the league would struggle with for an entire half, but he also had to cover for everyone else's failings by trying to be there at the rim when their own defensive assignments blew by them. He was set up for failure. He wasn't slacking off, he had impossible choices to make because his teammates couldn't guard a mannequin.
Add into that the fact that he got hurt on that fall and it should be no wonder to anyone he couldn't continually close out on Mann or anyone else. And Quinn should have at the very least tried something else to throw out a different look or get Gobert some help or some rest. But he just continued to beat that dead horse when it was very clear it wasn't working.

"Cobb County, Ga., officials extradited Maxwell to Gainesville after he was arrested on kidnapping and aggravated assault charges. According to police records, Maxwell abducted female acquaintance Belinda Beine and locked her in her Marietta home. When Beine tried to escape, Maxwell beat her. At one point, Maxwell struck her with a TV tray, causing a bruise on her back. Maxwell gave a false name -- “Kenneth Shaw” -- to the arresting officer."
Why the Hell does anyone care what Vernon Maxwell thinks?
