Jazz v. T'wolves

[Dali]

Jeff Green played 18 minutes tonight but it felt like 40

Yeah it felt like an eternity.

 

[Rubashov]

Haven't watched the whole game but outside of the first 5 minutes never felt like we were going to win it, 3 quarters of what I watched was hot ****ing garbage. A ****ing embarrassment.

Let the two way guys and Oni, Kidd, NWG and Bradley have a shot. This can't be hung on TB tonight.

Sure it can. He sucked so bad that we had to play Jeff Green at center. Jeff Green sucked for and in behalf of Tony Bradley, who was on the bench.

The difference in the game was basically Towns drilling several 3s in the last 6 minutes of the game. At the same time, our guys had a hard time getting good looks or knocking down the looks they got.

Too true. Unfortunately Tony Jones has this right that they aren’t looking for anything.

This... he’s in year 3 peoples and he still can’t be trusted for 10-12 solid minutes. If we aren’t going to play him ahead of other options, for the third year in a row, then why is he still on the roster and why pick up his option?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I do think part of Bradley not playing was to get Dante some minutes and keep Green at his normal minute allocation.

Utah is supposed to have one of the bigger playbooks (if not the biggest). Well, Lowe made a point about this before the season: that perhaps it was an opportunity for Quin to simplify the offense a bit.

In the past the offense was this way in order to create good shoots for pretty limited players/lack of spacing (Ingles at the beginning, Favors, Rubio, Exum, etc).

More than middling? Mmm, the offense with Haywood, Hill, Joe Johnson, Rudy, Joe, Diaw was pretty good. The offense adapted to the players' strengths. I imagine it will take a couple of months, just like in previous seasons. I hope so.

The 2015-16 and 2016-17 Jazz were both 28th in offense. Which year are you referring to?

 

[Eminence]

It's been pretty rough. I'm not sure what the move is, but something really feels off, if we don't get a win in Minny I wouldn't be feeling good about our squad as the front office. Can't wait forever for things to click, we'll wind up the 5th seed again and flush our championship aspirations down the drain if we don't get our asses into gear.

2016-2017. We were 12th in ORTG (109 per 100 poss) and 3rd in DRTG (104.7). Per NBA.com

Edit: in 2015-2016 we were 16th. I think you need to check your sources.

So, middling. Like I said.

 

[latin jazz]

So, middling. Like I said.

It was a very good offense despite not having a superstar. And if I remember correctly we were top 10 for most of the year before having a bit of a slump at the end of the season.

I guess I see the glass half full, you half empty.
