I will say this... it was consistent... they called it tight on both ends... basically Brooks can’t play if that’s how they are calling it.... he will foul out in 15 minutes playing his normal style.
We okay but we need to adjust... this is the same **** that got us lit up in the Denver series... can’t let Ja walk into a semi contested floater whenever he wants. I know... math says it’s a ****** shot, but when they know they can get it percentages go way up... have to mix in a few hard contests... Rudy has to come up harder or someone needs to push him out about 5 feet further.
It’s way too early to say. For one, I think the jazz still looked a bit rusty defensively and chemistry wise. They had several games off and this is their first game back with Mitchell in several weeks. However the Grizzlies have shown if you rough the jazz up they are more vulnerable.
Royce isn’t the problem scheme wise... the big has to come up higher to take it from a 5 foot floater to a 8 foot floater... tough to do with JV behind you... it’s the same issue we’ve had for multiple seasons... if Rudy steps up too much Jarden throws the lob... if Rudy sags off Jokic he hits threes... if Rudy tries to snuff out Jas drive then JB gets a rim opportunity or offensive rebound. Ja hit his shots tonight but I’d dare his *** to hit long shots again.
Even as a decoy he would have had tremendous value... we are our own worst enemy I guess.
High comedy... and still a better use of a challenge than we had.
They got two of the worst phantom calls of the game
I think we should try oni. Cant be worse than current defense lol
