Couldn't catch this one but whew those rebounding numbers. I'm just gonna tell myself that we'll be fine since the defense and Donovan have been really good. Well, I guess the defense is only good in terms of DRTG and ****. I'm pretty sure I've heard Quin say for years that it's not a stop until you get the rebound. I'm gonna cut Conley some slack since he's playing in a new system for the first time in like 13 years.

That's par for the course for Utah sports fans, whether that be Utah Jazz, BYU, or Utah fans... they all whine about the refs ad nauseam and think that there's some hidden bias going on... It makes our fanbase looking ****ing stupid.
Only way it happens is by moving Joe and Dante (contractually). But it’s a very interesting point, even if everyone hates the idea. We can talk about boxing out, but everyone not named Gobert is poor rebounding, not just in general but for their position, for their entire careers. Nobody even rebounds well compared to SFs. If Gobert contests a shot, there’s nobody there for a rebound. Talk about boxing out all you want, you’re either a rebounder or you’re not. As much as people act like Love would be a defensive sieve, it’s important to look at what not securing defensive boards costs.
If Joe continues to contribute as little as he has, it’s a valid question (for us fans, FO ain’t making that move).

While I somewhat agree, this is 100% on the lack of effort right now. We are standing around watching, waiting for the ball to come down or for someone else to get it. One of the biggest moments of the game was Lou Williams getting a board and it was 100% him putting in the effort.
Jazz were outrebounded by 17 and had 14 fewer FGAs. Conley with 5 TOs to go with 1 Ast. and 1 Reb.

If Conley isn't hitting his shots, he seems useless.

And why was the shortest guy on the court inbundling from the baseline?
Jeff Green has brought in a grand total of 1 rebound in the last 2 games, averaging 21 mins/game.

Why does he even stand under the basket on the defensive end if he isn't going to fight for a rebound. Come to think of it, does anybody on this team know how to box out?

And then parks himself in the corner on offense?
