The first time they stop getting a good whistle on offense, they will crumple. That's the Kane Fitzgerald experience. He screws up a game until it barely resembles basketball. The Jazz are like Secretariat running in 4 inches of mud. That won't be the case all series.
Yet another thing many of us have been saying since last year. Perimeter D was our biggest problem...and it still is. We did nothing to address it.
It should be considered. We need a really good perimeter defender in the worst way.
You need to take your homer glasses off. The Jazz did not play subpar. They scored 141 pts on very good percentages. Memphis played subpar in the first half. They were shooting like 16 percent from 3 at the half. Jazz defense was horrible for the most part. This is going to be a tough series and the Jazz are going to need JC to start making 3 pts.
If we don't find a way to actually play D it will be a long series. I imagine we'll lose the next one. If we thought they were getting friendly whistles in Utah just wait until it moves back to Memphis and we have 4 guys with 4-5 fouls before the 4th quarter even starts.
