Jazz throttle the Spurs at their place game thread

[nateboz]

He was an all star caliber player. Probably not anymore. Not at this point in his career, and not in this system. But he raises the ceiling if he plays well and start feeling comfortable. We don't need him to average 20ppg. Just be more like himself.

And BTW, I was correcting natebooz false claim that Conley's had the same roster last year.

No worries.

Bruh then you ain’t watching... Rudy Gay has his whole arm draped over DMs body/shoulder... he brings his arm up to shoot and it removes said arm in the process and they call a foul on DM... those types of calls are huge swings... should be two free throws instead it’s a turnover... the JC baseline drive offensive foul was garbage... can’t take a charge running along side a guy like that and there was very little contact... those are almost always called fouls on the defender... there was three in a short time that helped neuter us... we also had some errors for sure... they also made 400 contested mid range shots...

I think one of the big takeaways is that people have figured out we can’t take advantage on 5 out scenarios... TB has to punish them for going small and he didn’t... can’t have him out there if he can’t get to the offensive glass on 5 out lineups.

Oh. I’ve been watching the game. And the fact that jazz fans were already whining about the refs (not the poor play of our team) early in the 2nd qtr after Rudy committed two straight boneheaded fouls is pretty laughable to me. We played like crap. We’re not going to beat many playoff teams playing the way we did against Houston and San Antonio.

A bit yes. We can't get out of his contract, and I don't see any way he opts out, so if we're gonna end up paying Conley 32 Mil. next season we might as well try to get him back to being an all-star level player right?

A bonafide star as he was considered shouldn’t have to be “brought back” to being an all-star level player in the 1st place.

I lol’d... you are seeing a trend huh... how did you spot that subtle stat?

I didn’t think about it but just thought it was a captain obvious “trend”.

 

[latin jazz]

Yes. We have been terrible at getting stops against big wings. It's disconcerting. We need another defender. Playing against EC scrubs was fool's gold.

Guys... I think it’s time to call a spade a spade... he’s not a borderline all star... he’s not even playing like a good starter level pg... I think he racked up some big stats on a ****** team where he had the ball a lot and had no pressure to win... he can still help us but we got bamboozled.

I’m not sure if he can really help us honestly. Have there been any games where he’s started/played big mins and we wouldn’t have won had Mudiay/Clarkson been given his mins? I’m at the point now where I seriously wonder if we’d miss him if he and Mudiay switched roles.

One of the Morris brothers could’ve aided against Ingram and DeRozan.

I don't believe he is a bonafide star and saying he is an all-star level player was probably too much, but there is no doubt that he is a better player than Mudiay (I love Mudiay at his cost BTW) and we should try to get him back to his Memphis level.

The second half was where the calls went south... imo.

I don’t even think we played that bad... they made a lot of shots. We definitely didn’t play great but thought we were average on offense.

Those two fouls on Rudy were dumb in the first half. That fourth one is one they can call on any big almost anytime up the court.

Why not open the game tomorrow with Morgan, Brantley, Ingles, NWG and JWF and then sub the starters in. There won't be any tape on these guys and they might play with some energy. Take some of the pressure off.

 

[Katastrofica]

We could always try boxing out. Bojan’s defense and rebounding tonight have been awful too.

Interesting,he had 9 times more rebounds than DM

Ahhh... look I’m in a mood... gonna go yell at some ****ing clouds
