Hero Ball

[oneye]

Okay, so here's the point I'm trying to make: as I said earlier with my reference to Doc Rivers, good coaches have multiple options (and go to players) at the end of games, we have one. And I might add, that one is a 6'1" shooting guard, that to my way of thinking has to work a little harder to get himself open for the shot. (Is there another player at that height in the NBA with a similar usage rate at the end of close games?) And as I said earlier, none of this falls on Mitchell in my view, this is Snyder's coaching scheme. Am I wrong to suggest that this highly respected coach may have some flaws in his designs?

This year, in a very small sample size, we are eighth in close game wins - this is not representative in my view. Last year however, through the course of an entire season of employing our late game Iso Mitchell strategy we came in dead last in close game wins https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/win-pct-close-games?date=2019-06-14 .

Every coach in the same position would do he exact same thing....give your star the ball and let him do what he does. Some of you are just being too impatient with DM. He’s 23.....this is still season 3....and some of you guys expect him to be super star status every second of every game. Don is still developing. And the correct answer for that development is to let him make some mistakes and learn from them. Quin does exactly what every good coach would do. Give the ball to your potential super star talent and let him make mistakes, win games, lose games. Let him become what he’s going to be. His playmaking has been great in a lot of situations this season. It’s not going to be perfect every time, but he deserves the opportunity to have the ball EVERY SINGLE LATE GAME POSSESSION. The Jazz hopes of winning games or a title are on how good Donovan becomes not if we lose a game in November to Milwaukee short-handed. You show that dude you have full confidence in his ability to take you there. Quin gives it to him and draws up the play for him every time or let’s him iso and go to work and he should continue to do so every time. What’s good for DM is good for the Jazz in the long run.

He got a decent look like 7 out of 8 possessions in those last 5 minutes so....

The fact remains that we finished dead last in close game wins last year, and that our designated late-game iso player measures a mere 6'1" tall making it more difficult to get his shot off than say a Lebron or a Giannis. We need more wrinkles and options down the stretch, and Bogey definitely needs to be in the final equation IMO.

He almost always gets his shot off. This was one of the very few times his shots in this position didn’t get off.....

The only player that was really open was Jeff Green in the corner. Would a pass out to the corner to Jeff for the open 3 have been better? In hindsight yes.

I would like to see Bogey have more of the responsibility in those tight games, and to trust him to make a play.

Royce was wide open

Mirchell is not there as an end of game iso player. He might be at some point, or he might not. Just move the ball and try to get an open shot as usual.

Don was clanking everything in the second half and still wouldn't make a pass. SMH. I didn't think he would become this type of player but last night was really bad.

Boler and Harpring mentioned the lack of the "blender" in the broadcast last night. People on this board have been saying that for weeks. If this team would learn to pass up their shot for a better shot and stop this NYK style of iso bball then ALL our problems would go away.

NYK style iso....did you just find further proof?

With Conley at the point, this Jazz team will be hard pressed to even play .500 ball! With Rubio and Favors and the rest of those guys we had at the end of last season playing so well together, it was absolutely ludicrous to break that team up for any reason! Front office and head coach lost there minds is all I can say.
