And Gobert's ineffectiveness on offense is a result of the Jazz's poor shooting night. It lets Memphis pack it in on the paint and focus on the dives by Gobert. It's not like Favors at center was producing offensive results either.
Nah, I don’t buy that.I've been quietly wondering how the departure of Kokoskov would affect the guard play. The early returns are quite disconcerting.
That's fine, but you also have to reject that his coaching had anything to do with Rubio's growth last-season (which contradicts Rubio's statements), or when an out-of-control rookie SG took a team from below .500 to the second round of the playoffs. Guard play was Kokoskov's job.Nah, I don’t buy that.
Kokoskov never worked, at least directly on skills training, with Mitchell.That's fine, but you also have to reject that his coaching had anything to do with Rubio's growth last-season (which contradicts Rubio's statements), or when an out-of-control rookie SG took a team from below .500 to the second round of the playoffs.

Quin is struggling
Allen and Jae had it. He eventually went with them, but he waited too long.How so? He tried just about every player he had tonight looking for offense. Nobody had it.
You can tell Donovan isn’t playing with much joy right now. He just doesn’t look happy on the floor, he looks pressured, then he really starts to press. I actually think a road trip may do this team some good tbh.We need Mitchell out of his funk. I think that's our main issue right now. When he plays well his energy gets the whole team going.
