Added to Calendar: 06-16-21

I didn't like the trade because the cost. We outbid ourselves. The fit was okay because Don needed help in the backcourt.

It would be nice to have him, but we don't. And we didn't have him last year until a couple of games in. If he never had injuries, okay that sucks. But the guy was injury prone before we got him which made the trade that much riskier.

I don't know. I'm a happy, optimistic person but the Conley deal always irked me. Irks me still that we still owe a 1st from it.

It was a risk but worth taking to win it all (in that case everyone would forget who we gave away).

Can you imagine how the Clippers would feel if they lose? They gave up 4 first round picks and promising young players for PG13. It could always be worse...
 
He was an assistant under Budenholzer, who is likely to lose his job if the Bucks fall in this round, for also failing to adjust his playoff rotations and schemes.
This is what cracked me up - watching Jazz fans and the media dog-walk Bud last night and then offer up excuse after excuse for Quin.

Quin is the most untouched coach in the NBA. The local media shields him from any criticism. He's on the cusp of overseeing the first 2-0 blown lead in a seven-game series in franchise history and that's on top of his blowing a 3-1 lead last year - the first time in franchise history.

That doesn't even get into the fact he still can't get Utah out of the second round but boy is he always above reproach. The dude is a mediocre playoff coach - just like Bud.
 
Ingles just can't do his go-to stuff against switching defenses. His PNR with Gobert where he fakes the pass to go glass? Non-existent vs switches so it just ends up being him driving into the paint then making a bad decision against a set D.

The Jazz's strengths just crumble on top of each other when one of Mitchell/Conley/Gobert is out.
I don't really expect the PnR stuff that much. He still got a few fake pass buckets this series so it's not like he isn't making that happen either but it's his ballhandling on the perimeter that has been shaky. It doesn't look like he can keep his dribble alive more than 2-3 seconds which seriously limits our options. He still has other weapons, like the pull up 3 but they haven't been there consistently.
 
I will say the Jazz have an issue with specialization that leads to overburdened players.

They really need a jack of all trades kind of player to round out the team. Even a bench guy in that mold.

The craziest **** are the possessions when there is like 5 on the clock and he runs a crossing action with Royce to give him the ball against a better defender.

Why the **** does the local media have Snyder's **** lodged so far down their throats? He's an average coach at best. What adjustments has he made this series???
