I'm Worried About Clarkson

Jazzmix said:
I guess it's time to bump up that thread now.. Yesterday he not only had one of his worse shooting nights in Jazz uniform, he was visibly struggling to get to his spots in the paint and turned it over a lot.

It's really just one game, he will be back to his normal self next game. The playoffs are a match up of defensive match ups and strategies. It wasn't only Clarkson everyone was missing their shots, especially from 3
 
It was painful to watch.

I want nothing but the best for Clarkson. I have loved having him on the Jazz.

He was a big part of what cost us the game last night. A big part.

Yeah, agreed, but he was far from the only part. At times he was the only one who could create anything. That's the thing we struggle with the most is Mitchell is the only one we have who can consistently create his own shot. And bogey laying a huge goose-egg in the first half didn't help either.
 
I wish Quin would reign him in just a little bit. I'm not sure I've ever seen a player given such a green light offensively, especially a bench player. He just uses too many possessions.

I wonder if Quin left him in so long because of the 3-point streak. Kind of glad it is broken now. He needs to focus on his game, not streaks or awards, which I think has gotten into his head.

I think it was a regular season streak anyways, right? So it’s still alive and shouldn’t be affecting him either way.

This is partly on JC but the other guys weren't exactly aggressive either. I think he is a rhythm guy... he also likely had his role change a bit with DM out.

I pray we get flame thrower back for the majority of the series.

Despite the recent struggles, you always need a guy that has no fear to score and gets the green light to shoot. That is Clarkson. A lot of guys shrink from the moment.

While I agree with your point but when you are 0-8 from 3pt land perhaps you should try something else that game to help the team. The Jazz need him to make 3pt and be more efficient if they want to move through the playoffs. This isn't only Clarkson's problem but sometimes the Jazz players do not make adjustment in the game when things are going badly for them in a particular area.
 
You cannot win a playoff game when you only play one and a half quarters. Jazz were lucky to only lose by 3pts and had a shot to tie. It was a team effort of bad basketball for most of the game. Jazz were not ready to play and were rusty is my hope. Memphis is a talent team and the Jazz better come ready the next game or they could be in big trouble.

Looks like you are right. So much for my theory. Now I'm annoyed Quin left him in so long. Even my mother, a huge Clarkson fan, was over it last night.

We get Mitchell back and a lot of things will fall back into place. Clarkson was greatly affected by the extra defensive focus on him with Mitchell out. The is no denying it.
