What is wrong with this picture: Kyrie drops 48 on us and then Dame has his performance. If Sloan were coach there would at least been some bruises and dried blood on those two.

This is the AAU era where everyone is buddy/buddy. Players don't do that anymore.

The Jazz don't have athletic sturdy defenders who can get out and stop Dame especially after he gets hot. Now that it's public knowledge every guy on the roster not named Lauri/Kessler is on the trade block don't expect them to give much effort defensively either. I'm not pointing any fingers but it's just human nature not to go full balls to the wall on both ends for a team that is getting ready to trade you.

Yeah we have no perimeter defenders, like none whatsoever, so guards and wings will feast on us. It has been happening all year. We have had a few good games where we played decent team D, but in the end you need someone who can at least keep up with a Dame and get a hand in his face now and then. And then, on a night like last night, maybe he ends up with 40 instead of 60, who knows? Sometimes there is literally just nothing you can do. It is the nature of the beast.

On those few good games where they played decent D it was more due to effort than our guys being great defenders. I just very much doubt we get those types of efforts anymore from dudes that know they'll likely be playing on another team in the next 10 days or so.

Should have tried Udoka cuz you never know it's something different right?

There is different and then there is extreme hyperbolic difference that no coach in the league would try. The latter wasn't being discussed though.
