I'm starting to doubt Dennis Lindsays plan.

3 bad games in a row for Rudy

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Why did favs guard Aldridge? Do we not remember when Gobert ate his soul?

I didn't like Quin's decision to put Mack in the starting lineup and downgrade Neto.

In addition Withey should get some of Gobert's minutes.

I agree with your second point, but Jazz have had great 1st quarters in their last 3 games and a LOT of it is because of Mack.

 

[Stifle Tower]

lol half of Kawhi's shots were wide open.

And he hits those. He also had a couple of spin moves when he was closely guarded and scored. Gordon, meanwhile was a non-factor.

 

[Ron Mexico]

3-16 3s doesnt win you games. Have to hit open shots to win. Spurs defense packed the paint and forced us to shoot jumpers and we couldn't hit them. They went under every screen.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

The guys do need to learn to throw lobs to Rudy a bit more... He will feed off the dunk energy.

 

[FabioJazz]

Spurs has a devil covenant

Mack was responsible for the early lead. Bench Gobert and put Kanter in.

There was no need to put him immediately in the starting lineup, it shows little respect to Neto and Burke. Mack is not Teague.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Gordon and Kwahi are both max players... There are varying degrees of max players.

 

[b_line]

Difference in the game:
Kawhi is a max player; Hayward is not. Kawhi makes shots even when defended; Hayward hasn't thus far.

Gobert has been a joke lately.

A couple things:

You consistently overreact. It's quite ridiculous.

Gobert has struggled for TWO games. He is tired, probably needs to play a little less for 5 games or so.

Hayward is a Max player. Kawhi is a top 5 player. They are not the same thing. Would you rather the Jazz not have Hayward at all? I certainly love having him on this team, as we don't even sniff the playoffs without him this year.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

There was no need to put him immediately in the starting lineup, it shows little respect to Neto and Burke. Mack is not Teague.

Which one of those guys earned their job? I think part of the reason Neto was decent tonight was he realizes he needs to play harder to earn his minutes... They will no longer be given. Mack had a bad night but it wasn't horrendous.
