[Getting Traded]

Rudy is limited. I know it, you know it, he knows it and Quin knows it.
The team is better with him. Just don't act like every 3 ball is his fault because it isn't.
Americans are so ****ing polarized, why it has to be Rudy or Donovan?? If we want to win it has to be both. Trade one and we are 10 steps away from the title.
Small ball will make Jazz struggle defensively, we need to adjust, have the personel and the coach to adjust, blame one and move one is as shallow as it can get, just shows how few you know about basketball.

What? Did you watch these last games. They totally exposed Rudy. We would've better with Favors in there, or Ersan. The whole defensive philosophy was exposed and we saw this several games ago. But not just that; Rudy's softness and inability to hang on to the ball was inexcusable.

How does the "best" defense of the last several years give up 81 points in a half when it counts? Honestly it has to be the coach.

Lost opportunity especially with Kawihi Leonard out. Hope they can get it together in the off season.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Yes but what are those limitations? He was the best perimeter defender for the Jazz the whole series.

And he still got scored on... he was terrible today... ****ing horrible. He had many opportunities to make plays around the rim and made exactly none. I get that we have limitations but if he is DPOY and we can’t build something around him that has some integrity then he’s limited.

If you can’t see his limitations tonight then you may never see em.

Mitchell needs to work with Stockton and Not Wade in off-season. He needs to learn the PG spot and start learning how to set up others better. Some of those shots in the 4th..woof. they were awful and other then a couple Ricky tack fouls he got and then he missed the free Throws..

He had basically a 40 point triple double.

Conley (6) almost had has many as the entire Clippers team (8) in turnovers. Great way to come back

 

[framer]

You can't run out ingles, Niang, Royce, Conley in your core and expect to beat teams in the playoffs.

Anyone who thought this team has a legit chance before the playoffs is a god damn moron.

I mean with a healthy Mitchell and Conley, we did. Now you can make the argument we were stupid to depend on a healthy Conley. . .

 

[reignman40]

Then you are stupid. Obviously Conley was hurt as was Donovan. Happened to other teams too. We weren't getting past the Suns with them at that level.

Still we built a 25 point lead. I would rather a hobbled jazz team lose to Phoenix then be embarrassed on national TV

Royce is the only player out there that looked like he wanted to win.

That was one of the WORST defensive performances i've seen from Mitchell.

He drew a charge from PG with 4 minutes left and got fts driving to the basket on the other end.

Blaming Donovan. Shame on you

You can't blame him. He played hurt and still scored 39. Rudy was the problem and a huge one.

 

[latin jazz]

Hawks, Bucks, Clippers(so we don't look as bad).

Hawks are awesome. But I think I'll stop watching the NBA for a few days.

US Open tomorrow. Euro Cup, Copa America...some really good games there.

Mitchell isn’t the problem.

The other guys are. We need more athleticism, more defense, and a coach who can make a ****ing adjustment.
