NBA Playoffs

Tough to establish an inside game with your bigs' only offensive skillset is catching lobs. Bogey was our only players with a back to the basket repertoire.

Lol I wish Gobert had Ayton’s offensive repertoire dude would be the MVP of the league.

Whiteside has a good post game. And we consistently missed Gobert for lobs

The Mavs sure look like they could use a Gobert.

They’ve switched roles. It seems like just yesterday Booker was the stat getter on a crappy team. Now, it’s the reverse. Booker plays winning basketball while Spida has become a one trick pony.

That hurts.

Suns rea

I mean, Whiteside has deep post game, we never gave him the ball.

I get that with the bigs the Jazz had, it is hard to really rely on them offensively, but Utah also did nothing creative to get them involved and we limit our bigs individual offensive involvement by design.

Like, I do think Rudy could potentially develop a 10-15 jumper like Ayton has (not as good though, obviously Ayton has very high level touch), and that would make the offense more varied, but Utah is really married to it's moneyball which means bigs should never shoot outside of 3 feet.

This is where I feel Quin gets real stuck on missing the application of his statistical analysis. He accounts for only the most basic of variables and their most concrete relationships. To use your example (it could be a myriad of others), Rudy shooting somewhat below average on (presumably open) jumpers — which may be a poor percentage relative to wide-open averages, but perhaps within normal ranges for contested jumpers — may not be statistically optimal, but the changing dynamics (not easily represented in a statistical model) also change as a result, which goes back to a tree falling in the forest.

That hurts.

It does. I remember just a few years ago just obliterating the Suns. Gobert and the gang were dunking on them. They had a few stiff centers that just looked silly against our dominant frontline. Booker scored a lot. I seem to remember an issue against us where he got upset that he didn't get the final shot. He ended up yelling at someone for not passing him the ball? Does this ring a bell? They were just an awful team, one of the worst in the league.

Then they got Ayton. Got rid of some of their stiffs. And got serious about getting longer and more athletic. Now suddenly they've making us look pathetic.

Brunson should have sat out the series to retain his supermax contract valuation after playing us.

Seeing a center post up and destroy a defense is refreshing to see. Old school basketball. Fun to watch.

Dude just took a major hit on his reputation nationally.

It is simple,everyone can see what is obviously. On 1 side guy who is trying hard,and on other marketing product who's filling stats lines...

We probably dont talk enough about what a fail drafting Lyles over Booker was when we discuss all time Jazz fails.

And pretty much everyone wanted booker too
