Jazz at Dubs Official Game Thread -- 8:30PM MT: NBATV, ROOT

Not if everybody chokes like this, but with a guy like Hill, all it takes is for one person with confidence offensively to spread to the other players. If fully healthy, Utah can play with this team, for sure.

I feel like they beat themselves excluding Rudy. Hood missing 2 free throws sums up the mentality of the team this game. If we had the confidence, a few 3s go down in the first quarter and our offense wouldn't be the disaster that it is right now.

I agree.
 
Please shut up. This isn't the 90s.

The Warriors have two MVP caliber players and two all stars. All of them can shoot the lights out, and collectively they play great defense. Jazz have to slow the game down and pound them if they want a shot to compete with them. It might not be the 90's anymore, but doesn't mean it's not a viable game plan. Nobody can keep up in a shootout with this team. It's my opinion that you have to beat the snot out of them (like the Pistons of old) instead. Nobody is willing to be the team to try it though. If just one team would do it, I bet others would follow and they'd be so beat to **** by the end of the year that their game wouldn't be as effective.
 
I like that they are toying with us. More ammo for when we kick their *** in the playoffs.

It isnt a viable gameplan at all. Foul a really good shooting team so they get into the bonus quicker? Brilliant. Just great gameplan. It's a terrible opinion and has no statistical value in the modern game. I guess it sounds cool and macho, like lets "lets show them how tough we are and foul them really hard. Maybe they will stop playing because we fouled them so hard". When in reality, they just get more FT's and shake it off. If the foul is too hard, our players get flagrants and the refs just tighten their whistle which would further benefit the better FT shooting Warriors.

If we want to beat this team we have to be 100% healthy, hit our open shots, and penetrate their defense. Diaw will have to actually hit shots to make himself a threat and Hill has to be in the game to breakdown defenses and open up driving lanes for Hayward.
 
We've shown we can play some decent D to slow them down, hard fouls arent necessary. What is necessary is limiting TO's and actually making shots to prevent their quick attacking offense. Also kind of necessary to play Exum and Mack less than 20 combined minutes.

We need a Dennis Rodman. Is there a Rodman type player in the league?
