Jazz answer to Golden States ,Death Lineup

And Draymond? And Bogut a also great passing big and Barnes and Iggy who all can pass or attack.
I think Steph and klay make those guys what they are

Green helps those guys too. Goes both ways.. GSW improved to a championship caliber team when Green got his chance. He is a Very high iq player. That swhy I LOL when people question Denzel Valentine in the NBA.. These 2 are so similar except one Is a forward and the other is a guard
 
That lineup is awful defensively. Taking our best or 2nd best perimeter defender and putting him inside, Burks can't guard anybody....and we have no interior defense! None!

Lol at the idea GS would only put up 90 on that lineup. I swear some of you don't actually watch basketball.
 
2 years ago before GS was champions ,Curry was 26 and Green and Thompson were 24,meaning they were young veterans....Now Jazz are entering that stage ,Hayward is 26,Favors 24,Gobert 23,Hood 23,Exum close to 21,Burks 24 and Lyles close to 21 too.....Unless some Jazz fans are so down on these players that they think they won't ever become good then I can see where your coming from BUT I don't ride that boat !! Jazz were picked last year to become the top up and coming team because of their youth and great defense. Of course we know injuries derailed those expectations.
OKC showed length does bother GS and Jazz minus Exum more than held their own against GS at their home court,THEY didn't play in AWE.Kind of mind boggling some fans have such a poor view of this Jazz team.Jazz have 7 keepers ,all 1st round draft choices.
 
So the way to beat GS's death line-up is to attempt to put out a similar style line-up, but clearly not as good? Makes sense
Aaand that's pretty much the thread.

Some unbelievers here ....that's not me putting out that lineup ...that's who the Jazz have on their team and who they have to work with !!!! Who's to say Coach Snyder doesn't try that lineup when he sees GS trotting out a 6'7" (Green) to play (C).

And GS does start Bogut ,like Utah will start Gobert ...but some nites Bogut isn't getting major minutes. GS usually puts their Death Lineup when their ready to put teams away.I'm saying Jazz have a younger team that will be athletic and long,all high draft choices.This is where the difference in the view of the Jazz differ,some here think their ready to take off into a really good team and some here only trash on the Jazz and think their never going to be good ...I think their going to be really good next year.
 
tHING is Curry and Klay are each better then any single Jazz player. Jazz do not have anyone on those 2 level. They do not have a big guy with fire like Green. Favors is awfully passive of a personality.

Going small isn't the answer just to try and match some length, we have to play our brand and our best basketball to beat them. It's not just about size/speed...its about the quality of players they have that work so well in the system they are in
 
Dante Exum (PG) 6'6" vs. Steph Curry (PG) 6'3"
Rodney Hood(SG) 6'8" vs Klay Thompson (SG)6'7"
Alec Burks (SG) 6'6" vs Andre Igoudala (SG)6'6"
Gordon Haywood (PF)6'8" vs Harrison Barnes (PF)6'8"
Trey Lyles (C) 6'10" vs Draymond Green (C)6'7"

Jazz don't have the Dubs rep but they look like they will be able hungry to play against the Dubs death lineup.Jazz will have so much flexibility next year .


Sounds like the most 3 pointers made in a game instant-break to me.

I agree about the klay and Steph part (it's obvious to me that the jazz need their best player to be better than anyone they currently have).
As for having fire like draymond, Gobert does
