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.

It would probably help if Hardy actually played our best perimeter defender in NAW. His dislike of NAW is one of the more baffling things that I have ever seen.

I don’t get his lineups at times. I thought Conley and JC looked awful and Sexton gave us some life. Sexton often has the right idea, attack, score/get a foul but often I see Hardy chewing his *** out. It makes no sense because JC, although entertaining, takes some of the worst momentum killing shots of the team.

I was really disappointed in our game plan last night. I mean really, how many more times do you need to see Kyrie just dribble down and score before you figure out it’s going to be “one of those games” where he’s going to try and outscore your entire team? Sadly, we never figured that out and never tried to get the ball out of his hands and force some other *** clown, like Simmons, to score. That’s another thing that stings. It’s not like the Nets were surrounded with great shooters. Why we didn’t play the Gobert defense against Claxton and/or Simmons to trap/blitz Kyrie and force the ball out of his hands is beyond me.

A few trades and we'll be good to go. As long as we're top-5 bad we have a chance at #1.

The fact we can potentially add a few 1sts to our stockpile while also having a chance at a top-5 guy is exciting. I would rather do this than get a play-in and lose early in the playoffs.

The Jazz will not be top-5 bad, whatever they do. They would have to go at most 5-28 the rest of the way.

Didn't time stamp it, but they were doing various levels of doubling/hedging/blitzing throughout the game.

Well name at least one possession. And hedging was what Kessler was often attempting to do. It has pretty much nothing (even if done properly) to do with the aggressive doubling which worked perfectly for at least one play.

We doubled Kyrie after it was too late and one possession led to a wide open Seth Curry three.

The hate of our former players is unbelievable.

Sorry, but this is total bull ****. Most everyone really likes all of the players past and present. Some just get a little upset when their performance helps beat our current roster because they're, you know, fans of the Jazz. Have you not watched the reception the past players have gotten?

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

What does that last sentence have to do with anything? Did something happen last night involving racism that I missed?

Interesting. I didn't see anyone in the entire thread show any hate towards Royce. The crowd gave him lots of love. Royce acknowledged the love after the game too.

Agreed. NAW had a really good stretch of games. Everyone blown away by his play. People talking about him being the point guard of the future. People saying he is better than Sexton. He has a little bit of struggles (like literally every other player not named Lauri) and boom, DNPCDoghouse.

Oh shutup. You got to be a complete bozo not to have seen how much Royce was scapegoated and hated on at times the past two seasons. Plenty of people acted like we scammed the Nets on the trade.
