Does anyone still like this team?

While I agree to a point here it is just so easy to take Royce out of the play. He dies on literally every screen and is never there to rebound when Rudy covers for him. It's huge part of the problem with Gobert. If he shows he knows his man will roll and get to the basket unencumbered. If the shot is missed there is no one to rebound. That and royces reluctance to shoot an open shot handcuffs us on both ends.

If you look at the numbers his rebounding has actually been good in the clutch, but I completely agree that we could use more rebounding (Bogey is a terrible rebounder). His shooting aversion is Royce's biggest issue. Even then, he gets so few opportunities to even touch the ball it isn't close to the root cause of our melt downs.
 
The NBA needs to give the Jazz some recognition for giving other teams so many amazing moments this year. It's so exciting to make a come back and win a game you had no chance of winning. It's such a galvanizing moment for a team. We've provided that service for so many teams this year.

I've mentioned before that we are the Washington Generals of the NBA. So many amazing moments have happened at our expense. You are welcome NBA.

It's not much fun to be a fan of the Washington Generals. It does make things a little more predictable.

Between the Warriors game and the Suns game, Royce shot 1-for-9 for a grand total of 3 points. Maybe he's not the main problem, but he sure isn't part of the solution.

He's also shooting just 14% in the clutch this season.

Our offensive rating with House in the clutch is a 94.3 and defensive rating with House in the clutch is 130 (-35.7 net rating). Despite this, House has been fine, and has not been our problem in the clutch either.

Really small sample size. All I know is that right now he's defending much better than Royce, navigating screens better than anyone on the team, isn't afraid to shoot, and plays with great energy. I'd definitely rather close games with him in the playoffs. I think we're going to need his defense and his willingness to take a big shot down the stretch of playoff games.

Not really my point. I'm fine with House closing, but don't expect that it will make any difference.

Donovan Mitchell currently has more missed shots in the clutch than any other player on our team has attempted shots.

I'm trying to remember if he took a shot in the clutch last night, or even touched the ball on offense during crunch time.
