All I see on this forum are people who bitch about Don and Bojan.

Don makes those statements because he's a team leader. What he says was right.

Then you don’t read all teh JazzFanz. We hates all our players.
 
A perfectly assy game for a perfectly assy day.

That was the full Whiteside experience… yeesh.

I have no problem with him making these types of statements...I'd just like to see him back them up by giving better effort on the defensive end.

At least there’s some awareness of Gobert’s importance. They all better start throwing him a whole bunch of lobs of gratitude when he’s back, knowing that he’s the only difference between us and Portland.
 
Royce’s defense has been really bad the last month or so. I think House might be currently better at being a lockdown guy. Cade made Royce look like Rudy against Steph back in the day… except Cade really didn’t have a ton of wiggle.

Hassan was lazy… I’m talking like me sitting on the couch telling my kids to hand me the remote and a diet dr. Pepper lazy.

Paschall was good.

Saben Lee is what Quin thinks Forrest is.

Mike looks old and slow right now and I’m concerned.

This whole team look selfish as hell. Even end of the half… Mike tosses it to House when he could get up the half court heave… house trying to get signed and is super low volume… so each miss is exaggerated… both guys doing the fg% savers club.

JC isn’t fun right now either.

TLDR Tarde teh effs outta everyone

It was telling the looks we were getting versus the looks they were getting. We had Whiteside at center… who can protect the rim I guess… they had Trey Lyles at center… Trey ****ing Lyles…. It should have been a layup line… instead Detroit shot 20 wide *** open threes… off of looks that even Terrence Mann would be jealous of.

It is personnel mostly… you see how House looks while moving his feet and staying in front of guys…Paschall too… but it really is a coaching thing at this point. Either needs to teach better principles or have enough charisma to light a fire under they ***.
 
I think Royce might be playing injured. He isn't moving as well as he has in the past. He's not the type of guy that is going to take nights off either.

I remember back when Milsap was here he would have a stretch of bad games and you would find out later he was playing hurt.

That’s kinda what I thought… starting maybe a month ago. He looks so bad right now.
 
I think playing one system year after year that relies on one player does create worse habits, but at this point I can’t even blame Quin because it is the only defensive that shows a pulse with these defenders. Maybe you do put some blame on Quin for just how bad they are…but the fact is that they are awful and unsalvageable if we’re talking about competing this year.

I mean….what can we expect? Every perimeter player is some combination of old, undersized, slow, and disinterested in defense. The defensive personnel is awful outside of Rudy. When we did have better defenders we held up well against HOU. Couldn’t shoot for **** ourselves, but we could at least defend. Talent matters. There’s no masterminding our way out of our horrible defensive personnel. At some point you’ve just got to get better players.

Also of note…Mike is not super effective without Rudy. He needs real screens set for him. This isn’t as much of a knock on Mike as it is a praise of Gobert. Having a big guy set a million illegal screens, roll hard to the rim every time, and have better conditioning than 99% of the league is insane.
