Let's talk about Quin

Oh geez I guess you got me then (Conley who's hit a number of big shots down the stretch that I've seen). I guess we should just forge forward with this game plan as it seems to be working so well, I mean at least until we can get a proper sample size of missed off balance, moving away from the basket shots.

Regarding the shots I wasn't saying that to disagree -- it's two separate things. I don't know what the percentages are for game-winning shots, but at least on buzzer beats Donovan hasn't hit one.

But yes. We need at least a sample of a hundred of those Donovan shots before we can say there's a pattern, so until then we need to keep shooting that silly shot because every inexperienced idiot who says it's a bad shot is wrong, and there's a hidden genius to it that's only available at a certain point of enlightenment after death where the heavens part and God unfolds the mysteries of the universe. Then it will make sense.

Dude!!! You must be one hell of a poker player :p

PS So you're telling me that Mitchell has never hit a buzzer beater for us? For real? Even Hayward must've hit at least one buzzer beater in his tenure here.

No buzzer beaters for Donovan. I had looked it up last night. There’s a website. It may have even been Basketball Reference.

How many buzzer beaters has Donovan attempted?

Not a buzzer beater but missed a 30 foot three to tie Miami with 9 seconds left. Against Memphis missed a step back shot to win with 1.8 seconds left. And then the Spurs game. That’s just this year.

This isn’t to beat up on Don. But we get there as a team. There’s a whole structure and offense to get shots. It doesn’t have to be so predictable. The fact that it is means Don is getting really poor looks. Want him to make more buzzer beaters? Don’t have a track record that tells the defense they only need to stop one person.

Let's talk about Quin, baby

Let's talk about all the offence
and the defence that can be

Let's talk about Quin for now
to all the people at home or in the crowd
he keeps coming up anyhow
Don't be coy, avoid, or make void the topic
Cuz that ain't gonna stop it
Now we talk about Quin on the radio and video shows
Many will know any shot goes

Let's talk about how it is and how it could be
How it was, and of course, how it should be
Those who think he sucks, have a choice
Pick up the remote, press pause, or turn the TV off
Will that stop us, fanz? I doubt it

Alright then, c'mon, Quin

Hot to chuck, make any team's eyes pop
Jazz use any shot, even ones they don't got
Fans drool like fools, but then again they're only homers
The shot was a hit because Vivint was boomin'

Don, Mike, Rudy, crazy Jordan
No shot they take was ever common
Opponents might be great, men with skills
LeBron, Giannis, no one was too great to score on

Or even dunk on
The chip Quin says is next on his list
and believe me, you
it's as good as true
Their ain't a team alive that Jazz can't get next to

They had the win in the bag so they should have been glad
but they were bad, and sad and fouling mad
Thinking about the chip they never had
No D, just O, followed next by a chuck and a choke
I guess that last win was dope

Yo Mods, I don't think you're gonna lock this post down

I just couldn't get this out of my head based on the thread title.

The song spends way more time talking about talking about sex than it does talking about sex.

A Quin song without references to cocaine and dead hookers is a bit of a letdown.
 
I'm probably just repeating stuff at this point, but Quin's system is one of the best in the league. On a personal/enjoyment level, I kind of hate it in terms of its lack of creativity/diversity (or whatever term you want to use to describe how exactly the same every game feels), but it's extremely effective.

His in game adjustments and absolute rigidity to the system is what I can't stand. There were games here and there where I thought a turn might have been made, where 3 point shots weren't going down so the Jazz instead would attack the paint and start to get results, but other games they still seem to do nothing but chuck up 3s. He also never gives other guys on the bench a chance. There it's a bit like Ty all over again.

What? Quin's offense is very creative and diverse. It's not just shot chucking. They are generating a ton of open looks off driving, and not just one or two main guys driving, the entire team drives to make open shots for others.
