[Handlogten's Heros]

If I'm thinking of the same layup, that thing was lucky as hell. IT was a tough tough shot from a player playing out of his mind.

He drove and had half a step and went up and put it right on the square... nothing hard about it.

Yes but that’s kinda the point... too many teams can scheme and change Rudy’s impact. If he’s the greatest defender in the game like we claim then our defense shouldn’t be ordinary in the playoffs.

When you are playing a hobbled guard who doesnt play D regularly and two older slow guys, and a guy who is overburdened it happens. It's got **** all to do with Rudy lacking. Give the man some damn help.

 

[LoPo]

Jesus Christ, what a moronic take.

4 straight years I've been right that Rudy doesn't dominate anything in the playoffs. You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it.

Not only does he not dominate, he's a diva. On and off the court.

Hey DL, that was a heckuva 2020 draft. Really gave us some needed depth. What is NWG up to these days?

Yeah signed two players in ersan and Thomas who did sweet f all 100 percent on the recruiting staff and coach not changing things up

The Rudy system is like running the football in college football. It's great for the regular season, but when you face great teams, you gotta be able to do everything.

Rudy has been the beard covering DL’s complete ineptitude at his job. He should be fired the second we lose game six. We should completely clean house. Period.

If we don’t, I think I will go back to where I was pre-Donovan. Just watching my college teams and not giving a **** about pro sports.

Oni. Brantley and some other scrub.

Then again, I still have confidence in the Jazz to win in game 7. Hopefully... but it's a big stretch.

We won't make it to game 7

Just going to log off of JFC for now.

Y'all are being ridiculous. Appreciate how this team fought.

Mitchell is out here gritting it out like a ************. Props to him. He's trying his hardest.

Gobert is doing everything he can to defend the entire court. His energy in the 2nd half kept the game close when it would have been a blowout otherwise.

Props to O'Neale for playing his *** off on D when he knows there is no one on Utah who can help him on the perimeter.

**** injuries, that is all.

Don is out here grinding and some are calling him out third best player... weird time to be ridiculous

 

[Hekate]

Give me two good perimeter defenders who can shoot average at 3 for Rudy and we are a better team.

He is a liability on offense. It takes a perfect pass to get him a bucket. Otherwise, he blocks the lane for guys, especially Don, to drive.

Lmao. He is one of the biggest reasons Jazz have the offense they have. Not everything is individual stats. Clips made adjustments to take away Rudy screens went zone and Jazz shooters couldn't keep up and penetration without Rudy screens died aside from Mitchell. Especially Ingles struggled without it.

If the Jazz could get into the paint, we would see more Rudy offensive rebounds and may be, gosh, lobs and then he could be effective.

Also how many passes has he fumbled this game?

 

[LoPo]

Honestly, why do you only post when the Jazz lose?

Please quit the board so the Jazz can win again.

You hate being called out for constantly being wrong. I get it.

This is the type of stuff I’m talking about. Like WTF is this?

He's the 3rd best player man. Conley's absence turns the team into something that relies on ridiculous iso shot making. I love Mitchell for what he is, but when all the pieces are healthy, he's more 2B than 2A.
