Lol dudes will go to the grave defending Rudy like it’s their life mission **** is hilarious. Did anyone else see how easily we scored the ball and got into the paint when Rudy went out? We scored 31 points in a little over 8 minutes. We did the same thing to them that they do to us. They can’t guard us.

Amen brother, I will be glad when the Rudy supporters leave when he gets traded. Especially Rudy's wife on here Cy
 
The small ball stopped working because Dallas adjusted their defense and stopped giving up wide open lanes to the basket. It probably seems pretty crazy to us Jazz fans that a coach can make an adjustment mid game, but that's what happened.

Our defense did seem better during small ball. Some of it had to do with random shooting variance as they were missing shots they were making the rest of the game. Some if it does seem to be habit/psychological that when Rudy/Whiteside isn't the game
 
I wouldn't mind being 0-3 if the team were playing with effort on both ends of the floor.
But they're not, it's frustrating because they won't accomplish anything despite the potential.
Unfortunately, we're very close to a rebuild and maybe that's why Ainge came in the first place.

Exactly. Real coaches will change their strategy as the game changes, but Quin will always be behind the curve. Another adjustment the Mavs made was hard doubling Mitchell every time la the in the game. It forced the ball out of his hands and the Mavs were able to recover faster than the Jazz could rotate the ball. You know, the Jazz might want to deploy that strategy if they had a real coach…but Quin will do as he’s done for years.

Regardless of who the Jazz are playing, they still have their unstoppable strategy of behind 5 out and getting Mitchell/Conley switched onto Brunson. Those two have provided zero resistance. The offense is probably better with Gobert out because he’s fumbling everything…but we’re not going anywhere with our defense.

We just need to give up on the idea that our perimeter defense can stay in front. Hard double every time Brunson has the ball, or force them to take an off the dribble 3. I don’t care how much space they have for a step back 3, it’s better than the free basket they get by the hoop or the free open corner 3. It’s flat out embarrassing to concede the same shots over and over without trying.

Oh yeah…Luka is also back. I think our hope rests in Luka coming back, dominating the offense, but being rusty.
