Added to Calendar: 06-16-21

Get rid of DL, and shake up this roster. Royce can stay as a back up energy player. Niang will play his last game in a Jazz uni game 6.

Goodbye Conley and Favors. Worthless in the playoffs
 
If someone is let go at the end of this season I just hope it's DL and not Quin. I still have a lot more faith in him than I do DL.
100% this. DL has ****ed too much up. Our bench literally goes one deep in a matchup against a team like the Clippers. It’s not just the “back end” of the roster that has issues. It’s more like half the roster that is totally unplayable in the playoffs. That’s not on Quin and that’s not on the players (who are who they are). It is 100% on DL for putting the roster together the way he did.
 
As much as some of our players deserve a lot of blame, Snyder might actually deserve the most blame. He's done a horrendous job coaching this series.
 
Yep. I suggest you all join me in taking a mental health day on Friday. The 25 point loss we’re gonna take in the teeth will just make you feel worse.

We can’t guard the Clippers. Period. It’s done. Don’t delude yourselves into thinking something will change.

this entire playoffs the jazz couldn't guard a traffic cone...every game the opposing teams **** all over us.

our bench is literally... CLARKSON and then...NIANG and ONI....lmao
 
This is so true. Favors, Niang and Oni shouldn't be on the floor in the series at all, but what is Quin supposed to do? Like, we have no other options. We can play the starters 40 plus but I don't think you can play all 5 of them all 48 minutes, and we have absolutely no other options, the end of our bench is the absolute *****.


thats what i'm saying...

snyder is being forced to play players that can't even ****ing play....

we have

mitchell
gobert
ingles
oneale
bogdanovic

and then he has to rotate clarkson in...

and then we have ****ing NUCLEAR WARHEAD MOMENTUM KILLER NIANG AND ONI...i mean wtf is quin even supposed to do?
I think snyder doesn't have the pieces to adjust tbh. The clippers can just bench zubac and cousins and play small, and then activate them when needed. DL gave us no bench...
 
Not sure what the hell has happened to Favors. I guess his body is just completely shot. The sad thing is we have him signed for two more seasons after this and I don't see any possible way to move him. No one is going to take on his contract.
 
Is there anything we can do to counter clips small ball?
Attack the rim (with someone other than Mitchell or Clarkson) instead of just standing around on the 3 point line. Jingles did it a few times in the 4th quarter and it was effective. But then we went back to standing around :/

Defense-wise, idk. They've figured out how to take advantage of Gobert and Favors. Gobert would have to step up his defense and actually block shots when they ISO him. That or we'd need Derrick Favors to load up on steroids so that he can play like his past self.
