I went to the game tonight unfortunately, I brought a friend who isn't much of an NBA fan. After tonight's performance I think he's going to stay that way, this one was a hard one to swallow. I'm starting to wonder if Favors and Gobert can really coexist in this era of the NBA. Our bench needs a severe overhaul as well.

This. With the league going small, a big who gives you practically nothing on O isn't going to be a game changer.
 
Man that was brutal. Not much you can do when nobody but Hayward decides they want to put the ball in the basket.

And not that officiating cost the Jazz the game, but man they were terrible.
 
Burke and Burks shot horribly. That with the sub par night from Hood, and others = loss.

We dont seem to match up well at all to OKC. This is troubling as they are in our division.
There is no excuse to be blown out on your home floor.

Burks is shooting 33% for the last 5 games and 22% from deep.

The scary thought is, what if Burke returns back to shooting how he usually shoots from the last 2 years? How bad is our offense going to be then?

I love Rudy, but let's try to get Simmons out of him. Exum and Ingles will draw him here.

I would hate to give up on Rudy. Dude just needs to brush off his national team for an off-season and really work on catching the basketball and finishing strong. Whenever he jumps to go finish, it seems like he never has his body under him and he just flails towards the rim.

Guys need to chill... some of the difficults Rudy is having are a bit like hitting the rookie wall for a top pick : he spent a year and half not playing that much and has been playing 35 mins a night since february and had a summer chock full with his national team. He is still a defensive force but team have adjusted to him and his offensive shortcomings are being exposed (a lack of moves and strength).

Patience and being methodical are key.
 
Lol at overreaction. It was ugly and cost me $75 but not the ed of the world. Defense not as good without Exum which was predictable and no shooters allow for easier rotations for opponents defense. Booker, Hood and Hayward all regressed in that department but DL should cope his share of Blame for not bringing in a 3pt specialist or two.
 
So this was a disaster. Jazz are better than that. Not better than OKC but good enough to make them earn it.
 
The NBA and its rules favor scoring like the NFL these days. The Jazz didnt get the memo and think just defense wins championships. The Jazz will always get called bogus fouls even if they play good D,so trying to play caveman ball will beat the average teams it wont work against the elite scoring teams. Thats why the jazz have to change philosophy and start putting some scorers on the team and run like the dickens in the altitude.
