Jazz in 6

We’re down 2-1 by not using small ball dumbass can’t do any worse than that.
We're also down 2-1 by not trying to play 4 players on defense and having one player cherrypick all game, might as well try that too.
 
Because our perimeter defenders are traffic cones.

Basically all of the national pundits recognize this. Not sure why you're so slow on the uptake.

Yet our defense and offense looked better with Rudy off the floor. Imagine that.
 
Well I mean we probably wont ever see it again. And for the record Im not saying it will work in other games. Im saying it worked last night. If something is working then it might be a good idea to continue with it while its working. Especially if the alternative isn't working.
If we do go on a huge run again with small ball tomorrow do you think it would be wise to go back to our normal lineup and if the normal lineup collapses just stick with the normal lineup and never go back to the small ball again?

Yes, that’s exactly what we should do because we were -20 net rating during the regular season.

Then stop arguing with me and start arguing with the guy who says going small ball the whole time is going to win our next 3 games.

I dont think that me or eliza have said that our perimeter defenders are good. We haven't even said that they were good in our small ball lineup. What happened was that we played better than they did with our small ball lineup. Again, that is a good thing. It means that it might work again if needed. Its almost like you are mad that small ball worked for the jazz last night. Why would that make you mad?

I have been arguing with you about last nights game. if you say stuff like "our small ball lineup got torched" and "they got a bunch of open threes against small ball" then im going to argue those points since they are incorrect. If you want to speculate that it wont work in the future then my only response would be you might be right. You might not. I have no idea if it will or wont.

Because it's not a discussion grounded in reality. Expecting small ball to be the magic bullet that will lead us to a 3-0 finish this series is beyond delusional, and I feel embarrassed for even joining a discussion on it.
 
We can switch everything with Gobert on the floor. He can defend anyone on the opposing team.
we have already agreed about this. We agree that we can. We dont though. When gobert is on the court the other team gets lots of open threes. For whatever reason, thats what happens. Lots of things could happen, but that is what actually does happen.

It gives us a better chance of winning that letting them shoot wide open 3’s with Rudy on the floor.

They get open three against the small ball, also.
