Jazz vs GS....wouldn't miss it for the world!

Look the facts are Donovan doesn't play good against elite teams yet. He hasn't all year. Sure he dominates bad teams. But the jazz don't need that
It's time for you to go dillweed. Someone pull out the wood chipper.

Mitchell was good last night. He had Klay draped all over him, then when he got past Klay he was boxed in by Iguodala or Looney. Yet he still got shots off and created offense to score 25 points.
 
Donovan was not "good" last night. He shot something like 33% total and in the last 2 minutes he did his classic bulldoze into the paint and get blocked/turn the ball over twice in that span. He also left Klay/Steph WIDE open in the last 4 minutes for 3 easy 3 pointers for them. Not exactly "good"
 
Donovan is the only reason we're not down by 25. He can't do it all... every... single... night.
Sure buddy. Donovan was the biggest loser at -13 in PD. Shot worse than Rubio, had more turnovers than Rubio, had less assists than Rubio, had less steals than Rubio, and more fouls than Rubio. The whole game was Rubio's fault though. The team is the reason they weren't down 25 NOT Donovan
 
Rubio got us behind as soon as the game started. two quick TOs and easy points going the other way for GS. Neto was way more effective on both offense and defense.

Okay? and those were Rubio's ONLY TOs for the rest of the game. Let's not forget Donovan left Klay and Steph WIDE OPEN in the last 4 minutes when they were barraging 3 pointers sir.

25 pts on 29 shots is really, really bad. He had a few stand-out plays, but overall it was a poor performance offensively.
 
Unfortunately, Ingles gets exposed against long, athletic defenders. He can't compete athletically when the game speeds up and the defenses really buckle down. It's not that Joe was passing up shots. He just wasn't getting open.

This is what the really good teams have shown us. We need players who can manufacture offense in isolation, like Mitchell and possibly Exum
Everyone talks about stretch four and fives. We need a more dynamic 3. Maybe O'Neal is that player. But, Ingles doesn't have the speed to keep up with good 3s.

The Warriors defensive game plan worked to perfection. They sagged way off of Rubio and let him fire away and then completely smothered our efficient shooters.
Every team should do this.

I don't really see a team in the west that can take the warriors to 7 games this year.

I have zero doubt the Jazz could do it, especially with pre-injury Exum back. The Jazz or the Bucks are the only two teams that could realistically knock out the Warriors.

The Warriors didn't play that good of defense. We just missed WIDE OPEN SHOTS and chip shots and bunny shots. The Warriors on the other hand, take and MAKE most forced shots they take. They will continue to win championships because they have the VERY BEST of shooters on there team compared to the whole league. Until some of them retire or get traded, they will continue to win championships and there's not a thing we can do about it!

Disagree. Even on a poor shooting night(poor night in general) DM's scoring is a must with the makeup of this terrible offensive first unit that is close to bottom in the league. If Mitchell doesn't score who does? A passive Ingles? A PG shooting below average that defenses dare to shoot? Rudy? Streaky Crowder?

As I said it's unfair to him that we have failed to put offensive help around him. We have some solid pieces but to expect a sophomore to come out and keep the team afloat with scoring is and was a terrible plan by our front office who I've generally supported until their decision to stay stagnant when the team obviously has holes.
 
GS has the best shooters when they are open. They have the BEST shooters when they are covered. They have the BEST SHOOTERS when they are forcing shots. They have the BEST shooters when they are double teamed! They have the THREE best shooters in the league, Durant, Thompson and Curry! Until that changes they will win the NBA championship every year.
