Issues about defense to one side for a moment:

We aren't winning anything if we get as little offense from Korver and Crowder. We need more buckets from Ingles, too.

Jazz defensive schemes sucked. They tried what Bucks did by daring Harden to drive right but where half step slow to react and constantly left shooters open. Unfortunately on offense we could not use our strength in size and constantly turned ball over. I think based on our roster and what we have it is better to let Harden go off for 50 pts but stick to everybody else and do not let Capella, Tucker, House and whatever other scrubs they have to beat you. Whatever defense we saw in game 1 was beyond pathetic.

andy Larsen talked about this, and I agree-- our offence looked terrible last night.

we need more ppl who can penetrate and get into the paint. we had a couple fun joe ingles derrick favors plays, but otherwise I don't think joe scored a single layup. he could not get any driving lanes. Rubio did well in the first quarter, but then he didn't have much else. they're also not respecting Ricky's three point shot.

that's why at this point i'm inclined to give Korver's minutes to Grayson Allen. He couldn't have been much worse on defence, but at least he can put the ball on the floor.

Right. I understand what Utah is doing. It's not the worst idea in the world on paper - I just don't see it working on the court. Harden is just too good a decision maker and you're leaving him with a lot of choices. Gobert is DPOY but he's not a miracle worker. And which "help the helper" defender is going to stop Capela? Ingles? Crowder? No way.

Favors.

I checked the box score this morning hoping what i thought I remembered was a bad dream . Nope. It really happened.

Favors wad the only Jazz player with a positive +/-. How he did it i will never know. Clearly he is the problem, can't wait until hes gone.

Lol, but Crowder is sooo amazing. Group think.

As you said we just don't have the firepower. Rudy is limited and they know this. So is Rubio. Add in Favors and there is absolutely nothing to fear on the outside. This makes Capella's job amazingly simple and allows CP3 to guard these guys as everyone else can switch or sag off. I agree we should've attacked Harden but that's easier said than done when all Houston had to do is clog the paint.

Dantoni is exploiting this team. I was reading somewhere where an assistant coach said they got exactly what they wanted with Rubio and Crowder being the focal points, not Donovan. While Rubio and Favors played well they just don't match up well in today's game. Crowder is a little better but at 33% from the three, teams are not afraid of him and dare him to shoot. Ingles, who I haven't mentioned, is scared of his own shadow at times.

Yeah I get that we’re limited. But I’d like to at least see us try and exploit harden. I’d rather have us force plays against harden than see Thabo and Jae brick wide open 3s.

This just might be my favorite thing I've ever made for Jazzfanz.

Definitely the best thing to come from the game yesterday.

Well, that was a bad one. Can't even bring myself to read the thread.
