It's such a common sense thing that I feel the Jazz are tanking.
THT can't guard quick guards like Kyrie. His defensive strength is help D and on big physical wings
Get bent man. Royce started his career with Utah and was a long time player. Acting like fans should not appreciate former players is so lame.
Didn't time stamp it, but they were doing various levels of doubling/hedging/blitzing throughout the game.
Neither could anyone on the jazz last night. He scored 48 points
When he's on no one can. Just made a few mistakes early and he got too much of a rhythm. I guess racist thrive in Utah tho lmfao
Our game plan, if there was one, made zero sense. I kept waiting for something like this. Especially when it became obvious that Kyrie was literally the only player we had to guard AND they were going to play Simmons for most of the game. How our entire coaching staff didn’t figure this out gave me flashbacks to our series against the Clippers.
There aren’t many players who can defend Kyrie. He’s one of the best guards in the league. It has to be a team effort. I do think top level coaches and teams figure out ways to slow him down/force him to give it up. When they’re at full strength? That’s hard to do because you’re most likely going to leave KD open. But without KD, stopping Kyrie with a good team defense should’ve been much easier. Especially since they played Simmons for 37 mins. I kept waiting for us to exploit this and it just never happened.
At some point we have to have almost a complete turnover of our guards. Maybe keep JC (This is a struggle for me) I don't want any player that I have to hide on defense. Most of you on here are more in the know when it comes to college prospects. I need someone who is positional sized well with great court vision that can run an offense and defend well (doesn't have to be great).
The hate of our former players is unbelievable.
