Maybe Quin in protocol wouldn't be the worst thing. Let's see if an assistant would have a better feel for the game.

The Jazz legit specialize in particularly embarrassing meltdowns.

I've defended the team all season, have not been worried about bad performances and thrown away games. But this game worries me. The jazz don't know how to play in crunch time. they have no idea what to do unless they are hitting shots. they threw this game away. The team runs around like a chicken with its head cut off in crunch time. They don't seem to have any idea what to run, who to give the ball to. We have all these ball-handlers and they just take turns bricking it or turning it over in crunch time. If the Jazz can't win unless they are hitting shots, we're toast. No hustle from this team. Everyone, including Gobert, just standing around waiting for someone else to do something. Our roster fills awfully small when they play like this--it just seems like we don't have that many guys to go to.

We are in a brutal part of our schedule. It's pretty clear we're going to lose a lot of games.

I think Utah needs to do everything it can to get rid of our two worst ball-handlers for...really anyone who can had some versatility to the roster. This was the most discouraging game of the season by far.

This was a very winnable game and we found a way to lose. Plenty of blame to go around, but Quin is the prime suspect.

Quin is legitimately coaching games like a simulation. He is making decisions completely blind of what's happening during the game. Nothing that happens during the game will ever change his decision making.

We won the first and third quarters. Everyone gets a juice box.

Yeah, I need to start mentally preparing myself for the number of losses we’re going to rack up before all-star break.

 

[Avery]

We’re kidding ourselves if we think this team is going to win a championship. Poor shot selection, subpar team defense and quite honestly, some pretty frustrating coaching.

 

[Jingled]

I just can't understand why Quin stuck with JC so long in the second half when he was struggling so badly.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Should have been ours, no question about it!

Snyder has to emphasize finding Gobert on deep post mismatches. It's such a waste that we dont use those when Gobert has really improved his seal and catch ability.

Got to be honest though--they tried to. He fumbled the ball down there a lot. He doesn't go up strong, doesn't take the dunk when he has it. That part of his game has barely improved and it drives me crazy. I know he's great but his inability to take advantage in the post has always limited us. It's almost as big an issue as the guard-defense when it comes to playing against small ball lineups.
