Mic’d up segment Donovan/Quin

Someone finally posted it on Twitter so figured I’d post it here. Here’s the kind of weird moment of Donovan/Quin discussing passing the ball to Rudy.

If anything, this vindicates Quin and Donovan from the description you gave in another thread:

Btw don’t know if it’s been mentioned here but did anyone notice the awkward/weird mic’s up moment between Quin and Donovan we’re Quin was almost poking fun at getting Rudy the ball? Donovan gave like an awkward smile, and Quin played it off because Donovan had a hot mic on him lol.

Lol, judging by that awkward mic’d up moment between he and Donovan until Donovan almost told him with his facial expression “I’m mic’d” it was like Quin was clowning the “get Rudy the ball” stuff being pushed. Almost like he was okay with Rudy fumbling it because it would prove his coaching right/Donovan’s approach right. If it was what it came off as, it’s disgusting coaching.

It was terrible. Donovan gave him like a look as if to say “remember I’m mic’d up” and Quin tried to play it off. No wonder the Jazz are a joke, it’s starts with their joke of a coach and cliques on the team.

Vindicates them poking fun at feeding Rudy the ball lol? Quin did play it off, it’s the original statement, smile, and pause that are just weird.

I should've known oneye's description of how it unfolded was insanely inaccurate.

It did seem worse in the moment, seeing as this segment appeared/happened as Rudy had been forced the ball and fumbled it multiple times. This wasn’t a “nice” moment of bringing it up considering the moment it occurred. Here is another Mic’d segment:

I think this was definitely overblown, some of the comments I read made it sound much worse than it actually was. I have to admit, it was a little odd though.

I don't know why the second one made me laugh outloud, but it did.

Quin: Hey we need more energy!
Rudy: That's right, we need more energy on defense!
Quin: Oh I was talking about on offense.
Rudy: :(

yeah Quin doesn't seem to be able to motivate them. According to Locke the problem is they didn't play hard. WTF How are they not playing hard at this point, pretty freaking damning for the coach if that is the case

Yeah I mean, I will say this. When the 3x DPOY is telling his teammates to try harder on defense, only to immediately be undermined by the head coach, it's probably not going to result in more effort on defense.

I agree with Locke they didn’t play hard, and don’t way too often. I think Quin is a good coach in some ways, but he’s not really a light a fire under you kind of coach. There was that one “wake up” moment way back when, but you rarely see Quin even light up the refs. He’s not a super inspirational coach to his players imo…..however….that’s still on them, because if you’re playing in the NBA, making millions of dollars, and are a grown *** man, you should not need another grown *** man to inspire you to play hard in a playoff game.

Yeah, Rudy showed intensity there and Quin was like “woah woah, let calm down, offense buddy” lol
 
Quin saying "we fed it to him" right after Rudy had fumbled it a couple of times and the smirk on Donovan's face are what I find odd. It's almost like they were trying to prove a point, like, see...that's why we don't get him the ball more often. I don't know, maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
