NBA Playoffs

If you cherry pick clips from our series, you would see that everybody got torched at some point and everybody played good defense at some point.

Our issues don't lie with one person. We missed too many wide open shots and allowed too many wide open 3s. We lost the line at the 3 point line. Again.

I agree, Defense is a team effort and not just one guy. We have the best NBA defender, Rudy and he look bad many time in the serie. Beeing say, Don is a terrible defender as many star. Ja for the grizz is as bad as Don but this is not what we ask him. Beeing efficient on the other part of the game, and essential in money time is a mandatory when you want to be a star. Ja is already, Don not yet.

The thing with Ja and Trae is that they are PGs. They are consistent playmakers and provide different aspects as the shortest guys on the team. Mitchell checks just one box.

If you bring a tall guard that plays versatile defense and shoots, the defensive weakness isn't going to be glaring. Jazz could hide him so much better but then all the offensive load falls on him and never in his career has he shown an ability switch between his playmaking and scoring duties. I don't think Mitchell is as selfish as he is made to be sometimes but he is a very limited passer. The offense is going to stall and that's still a deadly playoff weakness.

Asking him to improve his playmaking is the same as asking Gobert to improve his post-ups. That's just not who they are. I think that's why the focus has been defense so much.

You don’t have to cherry pick very hard. Mavs were constantly open and we constantly missed our own shots.

We basically dared them to a shooting exhibition and got punked. Weird way to play basketball.

I'd have to go back in my posting history but someone on this board was calling me a clown for wanting booker over Lyles. That pick made too much sense yet somehow we F'd it up

Lyles was a head-scratcher all around.

Still can't figure out the purpose for Portland. They functionally don't have cap space still. They gave away 4 rotation players at the deadline and got 1 back... how does that help Dame? Then the pick from the CJ deal was under the protections NO placed on it and now becomes a 2025 Milwaukee first... yeesh.
