Game Thread: Jazz @ Clippers 11/3/19 19:00 MST

[mellow]

For those who fear the sky is falling...hold on.

Jazz play unbeaten 76ers next. Embid and Horford with a gaurd line up of Simmons 6-10 and Richardson 6-6 . sixers have outrebounded their opponenst by an average of 12 a game.

Then the jazz face Milwaukee. The Bucks are the number 1 rebounding team and Rudy was unplayable against them last season.

This week could be rough.

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).

I just don't see them trading Joe, although i agree with everything else, rebounding is all about effort and desire and has little to do with skill. Our guys hearts ****ing pump Kool-aid.

Stop. DM got plenty of calls in the 4th. We didn't rebound, plain and simple, and until we figure that out we'll be a 6-8 seed at best.

Mitchell got plenty of calls, but they stopped calling the fouls for him the last 3 plays and they kept calling fouls for Leonard. Even if we learn how to rebound the ball, what's stopping the refs from calling bs fouls for Leonard and George down the stretch?

I hope you're right, but I'm feeling pessimistic. We have one player that gets super star calls and they have two players that get super star calls.

Still pissed off after what i just saw.

I'm very ready to see what Exum has to offer. I know, I know.

Can we get favors back for the love of God? Rebounding and this midget back court will be the death of us smh.

I think these 2 days rest will help us alot. Finally home for a week or so. Hope it helps our energy against sixers and bucks.

Effort can help, but rebounding is about size and strength. The Jazz decided to put rebounding low on their priority list by trading Favors and trading for a tiny 34million dollar point guard. Now that's fine if you can win your games through offensive excellence, but currently at 23rd in the league in offense, the plan is off to a bad start.

No question that Faves was a good rebounder but he was also a poor floor spacer. Also no question that Rubio was a better rebounder and brought a toughness that I feel Conley lacks, but he couldn't throw a rock in the ocean from deep. I guess it's always a tradeoff. Personally though, I don't think the Jazz have ever been a great rebounding team under Quinn Snyder. Why is boxing out such a mystery to these guys? I was on an undersized team in high school but we didn't get killed on the glass cause coach instilled in us the fundamentals of boxing out.

Jeff Green has brought in a grand total of 1 rebound in the last 2 games, averaging 21 mins/game.

watch him, he’s just standing around not doing anything...he’s not rebounding, he’s not playing defense and just waiting around to jack up a few outside shots...even worse, he’s up off the bench, right beside Snyder, telling Donovan what to do like he’s some wily vet ...not a fan right now (so Shirley he’ll score 30 next game since I’m writing all this)...

And then parks himself in the corner on offense?

To his defense on that one, we were running a lot of isolation plays for Mitchell down the stretch, and for good reason. Neither Shamet or Beverly shot a good percentage, so there's that in his favor.

With one rebound each for he and Green, I just wish they'd make more of an effort on the glass.

Rebounding is for sure our bigger problem but outside Mitchell we haven't had a consistent scorer and I think the offensive sets are the real problem. Discombobulated mess most times down. I'm hoping with a little practice time we can get things figured out. We've only given up over 100 points this one time. That should be good enough to win games with even a semblance of organized offense and more than one weapon.
