Jazz 76ers Game THREAD

Another? The last blowout loss at home came over a month ago.

The Jazz played lazy D. I don't see how that's all on Rubio. it's was a collective effort to lose this game. Yes, Rubio played poorly, but he was far from the reason for the loss.

When you’re below .500 and fighting for the playoffs in the west, you can’t suffer many more losses at home, especially crushing blowouts.

And block. And Onto the ignore list you go.

Lol, if that’s your reaction to respectful discussion, glad the block button is there for ya

Let's see him be a consistent backup first, then look at increasing his minutes before we think about starting him.

Yup, I didn't get to watch the 1st half but Exum played well in control in the 3rd quarter but he went back to forcing things and rushing things in the 4th before he got benched.

Quin really needs to park those Rubio/Exum lineups neither player does well in those.

A loss is a loss. The Jazz lost to a great team. It happens. You move on. This isnt a back-breaker.

When did anyone give him an excuse?

I think this is less about fans excusing him as it is Snyder’s decision to play Exum 8 fewer mins despite Exum’s effectiveness and Rubio’s ineffectiveness. Let’s face it, their first half performance was ample evidence to have convinced Snyder to adjust his lineup and give Exum far more burn than Rubio.

Yup Rubio is terrible this year. I've been pretty hard on Exum but Rubio is just as bad if not worse. Take his prestigious name off of his jersey and he starts for noone.

You gave him an excuse the moment you replied to theejazzfan with your comment. Right now there is no pressure on Rubio on losing his starting position, and whilst there are many elements involved as to why that is, he is excused every time he has his starting position.

Blowouts absolutely are more deflating than regular losses. Not sure how you can argue this. We’re not only fighting for our record but for confidence. This blowout at home hurts, especially to Mitchell who was clearly pressing against his ROY Competitor

Rubio has played better the entire season, but 8minutes of Exum outplaying Rubio means Snyder should completely abandon everything to play Exum more because he made two three's in the first half?

He was clearly pressing? He pressed less tonight than he has in the past.

I really don't think tonight's loss was that deflating. It was a bummer no doubt, but like I said, I think the team will move on just fine. This is the same team who gave it to the Warriors and Blazers recently. It's not like they question their own ability to beat good teams.

You are just spouting BS right now.

When you see how poorly Rubio was playing and how aggressive Exum was in that first half you make lineup
adjustments. I’m not saying you bench Rubio. However, Exum should’ve been first off the bench and should’ve been put in before 3:45 in the third quarter. Part of being a great coach is making in game adjustments. This is something Snyder could definitely improve on.
