I refuse to believe that Ingles is just cooked and old as his issue. That doesnt make players not be able to shoot anymore. I think his heart just isnt there right now for whatever reason. He looked cooked for a good chunk of other years as well. This is just a longer stretch. But I am not sure that he cares enough anymore to turn it on. That or he is coasting through the regular season by coaches recommendation.

If it was the rest of his game I would believe he is just old and worn out, but not shooting.

I agree. There's no way he went from the best year of his career to the worst in just a few months. I honestly think the trade rumors are affecting him big time...his name has constantly been in rumors since the offseason and it's the first time in his career he's ever had to deal with it. It's probably tough to find motivation to go out there and give it your all when you know the team that you've been with your whole career is actively trying to get rid of you and you likely won't be here in a few weeks anyway. I can kind of understand why he would care less than some of the other guys right now.

I think if he's still here past the trade deadline he will be much more locked in and focused the rest of the year and will likely end the year shooting 40% or higher from 3. I really think he's gone though.

It would be sad to see him go, but if he can net us a solid player that would go a long way for this team. I wish he had not killed his value though. We probably should have traded him in the off season if we actually had something decent in place. We will never know though.

When Hughes lost that rebound out of bounds off the FT the camera panned to Quin and you can just tell he hates Hughes. Felt the same way with Butler too. Those dudes just aren't allowed to make mistakes even if they are the two most offensively talented deep bench guys Utah has.

It must be brutal for those guys to watch Clarkson have some of the most unearned freedom in the NBA.

Reminds me of his treatment of Exum. One bad play and it's a time out or substitution. Younger players have never received the opportunity to work through their mistakes with the exception of Mitchell.

We talk about the success in getting older players like Royce and Ingles to transition into the NBA and find a role but that is far different to someone straight out of college who is transitioning to playing against men. Even Clarkson didn't develop his game here, we simply found a way to utilise his ability to score that was needed at the time and has been detrimental this season.

Joe really just looks tired. Two shortened off seasons and an Olympics I think has really caught up with him.

If he is, Snyder should sit him for a few weeks. Let him get his legs back. The Jazz aren't falling below a top 4-5 seed. Seeding at this point shouldn't matter. The goal should be to make sure the entire roster is healthy by April. If that means sacrificing regular season games, then so be it.
 




Stuff like this is why the Jazz are hated by most NBA fans. We have this "arrogant" feeling as a fanbase, and it is shared by our reporters.

If Ben wasn't an idiot, he would look at Donovan's shooting lately, or Steph's shooting lately.

Granted, a bunch of media covering the NBA act like they walk on water, and carry themselves like they are important - like dude, you are covering sports.

Good effort, but you could just feel the Jazz losing once the Suns took that lead in the 4th, like it was destined

I was talking to my dad about this and we both were enjoying where it was going even though we knew it would end in a 15 point loss. We weren't too far off. But all in all it was a very fun game to watch. Phoenix had to be worried there for a quick minute and that is enough to make it a moral victory imo.

It was fun to hear the phoenix announcers last night talking about how Booker was "cooking" the Jazz, they kept saying that he was going for 40 or 50, and when they went on a rant about this after he hit a 3 in the third...to pull them within 5 of us since we were in the lead. It was so funny. Cooking the Jazz so hard that we are in the lead. lolol
