Game nr. 11 Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers, November 7th, 7pm MT.

Oh, and my new announcer pet peeve is when Harpring tells people right handed shooters don't like shooting going to their left, either off sreens or off the dribble.

99% of all shooters prefer going to the side of their opposite hand to shoot.

I don't understand how a former NBA player can keep saying that. At least Boler has an excuse that he isn't someone who is suppose to be especially knowledgeable.

Rebounds show who is by the rim when a shot goes up. A large majority of rebounds in the NBA are uncontested rebounds. Guys like Drummond, Jordan, and Gobert are leading rebounders by and large because their teammates willingly concede those rebounds to them.

Yep and when both are close by Favors runs down the court and lets Gobert get it. Favors just works hard and tries to do the little things.

This season Gobert is averaging 21.5 rebound chances per game. Favors is averaging the same amount as Rubio at 8.7 per game. Favors has a higher adjusted rebound chance % of 61 vs Goberts 49. So he is getting a higher number of rebounds that are in his area that not deflected.

Gobert is a bigger reason we are struggling with defensive rebounds than Favors is.
 
It's actually pretty crazy that we played well in many areas, and lost simply because we shot so poorly, and only lost by seven.

Funny you say that cause there are countless times where I see Favors not hustle, box out, jump, go for a board and it ends up being costly. I think he plays ok half the time. The other half, the dude takes his foot off the gas like he can't breathe.

I agree, he looks tired at times. He is also struggling at times to find his role on offense. But again so is everyone of our starters. They all look tired, lost or lacking effort at times.

I still think it is that they are practicing very hard right now, combined with trying to learn a more complicated offense that is based on timing and over thinking the game. The game will slow down and they will look better. Mitchell is a prime example of this. He looks slower and struggles a lot of the game in sets because he is thinking too much. When it is a free for all or he is in the fourth and he is just playing and not thinking he looks much better.
 
Even before the loss of Exum & Joe Johnson we expected this offense to struggle. But what I can't understand, and maybe you smarter posters can explain to me, is why Quinn keeps running the same sets that get the same shots for the same guys that keep missing them. Just my novice observation, that if you don't have the personal to run it, then maybe adjust what you run to the people you have.

Maybe this is the only way a team can play in the modern nba, in which case the jazz just don't have the personnel to do it.
