With 3 minutes left, Rudy got an offensive rebound when we were down 3. He fumbled it and was stripped. They went the other way to make it a 5 point game. Closest we got.
Even with blowouts, how many times were we blowing a team out with 5:00 left and our starting unit was still out there? This happened frequently and even in the playoffs. Guys like Brantley, Eliza, and Morgan just sat on the bench and rotted while our main guys added miles.
The extra two minutes doesn’t add up at all. We needed depth to just load manage guys during the season or spell them in the playoffs. It’s just a BS excuse... like other teams are fresh as a daisy. Our main guys average less than a lot of other teams... that ain’t it at all.
Valuing Matt Thomas over Craig who has deep playoffs experience and fits a need just exposed this FO in the worst way. If there's ever the final straw for fans confidence in jazz management after all those weak moves over the course of last four years, that surely was it.
Matt Thomas isn’t an nba player... flat out. If DL is back so Matt will be too... DL loves sunk costs
I just have the fear that Matt might be DL's new "Niang" after we let the real one walk this offseason. Spending year after year to groom him into a borderline rotation guy who's just gonna get abused deep in the season, if the Jazz ever gets there again.
He’s garbage. He can shoot but can’t get his shot off. Everything else he is s basically hot garbage. Great work DL... what a winner.
i mean I'm hardly surprised by this Matt Thomas acquisition. He isn't the first undersized guard who DL brought onto this roster.
I get that DL should’ve added players. But it made no sense playing our starters deep into blowouts. It wore them down and prevented others from developing. This needs to change. Even if we had drafted better or added Craig, would they have gotten time if Q Thibbs our starters?
