Gamethread: Game 1 of the 1st Round. Utah Jazz @ Houston Rockets. 7:30 MST

Capella looked completely out of breath there.

As someone who gets URI’s at least 2x a year, this is not surprising.

Joe with ZERO points and only 1 assist. He is letting us down big time.

I hope his wife slaps him and asks where Headband Joe is

Willing to bet that Favors is the only starter with a good +/-

You are right.
Favors is -2
Korver is +1
Neto is even steven.

The best defense in the NBA is getting torched running a gimmick defense. Frustrating.

Imagine if Utah went out of the norm and made a trade to get a 3rd star. This game proves the Jazz aren't even close to good enough.

Houston switches a lot on defense. They are comfortable shutting down your system and making someone beat them 1 on 1. All those easy things like Ingles look off layups are taken away on switches.
Long story short is someone has to step up big time and be the man. We have only one player that can do it, DM.

 

[fishonjazz]

Yep. All our defensive pride out the window. We go with a gimmicky D showing we are afraid of one player. Stupid.

to be fair they phased him out of the offense for long stretches especially in the 1st q it seemed like he didnt even touch the ball

AKA a tweak. A minor adjustment. It takes two to make a deal and he made a major play for a legit PG or are we going to ignore all the reports from Jan - Feb?

He needs to land a major move. So let’s talk about it right. Not this tweak ********. Which is both in factual and missing the point.

How many teams made moves at the deadline this year alone? All but 4. 4. Utah was one of the 4 who did nothing.

Just play our normal d and throw Royce on Harden. Sell him on the opportunity.

Shaq clowning Rudy.

Kenny is 100% right

Lol everyone around here loved that video that suggested we do exactly this. I see a few positive adjustments that can be made, it is a game of percentages. (Alley oops are high percentage though...)

We’ll see. Definitely could have been a better half...
