Game #25. Jazz returns to Te land of wretched hovels. Jazz at Pelicans 12/16/14 6pm Mtn

i think what he's trying to say is that burke and burks playing big minutes particularly closing out with such poor defense and being unable to get and or hit good shots pretty much gives us little to no chance of winning games

Exum's TO's and blown layup to end his playing time stint is what started the Pelican's run.
 
Your point being ?? he was talking about things in broader terms ..... defensive liabilities don't win many games. Merely an observation of what we're stuck with atm
 
Burke started the game on fire, then left us with cold ashes in the 4th. 1 assist and 5 turnovers ain't what we need from our starting point guard.
 
Our defense sucks. Why do we always let 3 pt bigs go off? Kleuza, anderson, Red Rocket, etc?

And why did we stop feeding Kanter?
 
I think we can't blame too much about the Jazz defense tonight...the only thing is that we don't run enough to defend fast-breaks.
Ryan Anderson was on fire nailing 3s all night long and most of his shots were contested too and Davis played as usual. Austin Rivers has been a factor for their come back too.

We made too many mistakes down the strech because of inexperience and we lost. We have to learn to close the games!

Snyder should manage better the timouts...I noticed bad timing when the Pelicans made their run at the end....or maybe we are really tanking.

Anyway, we played a very good road game!

was thinking the same thing. If he attack the rim instead of shooting weird lay up and draw foul, the game could've had different outcome

The Jazz gave up 41 points in the 4th quarter. We can absolutely blame the defense.

Would've been helpful to go through Hayward/Kanter down the stretch instead of Burke/Burks, sure, but the defense was the main problem.
 
Again this team fights, this team is doing stuff they just fall short against some good teams. I hope they just can keep their spirits up during all that losing.

Now let's go to south beach and keep your heads high!

Go Jazz!
