No Answers - Is it Personnel or coaching?

Ineptimusprime said:
Quin is in an impossible situation because of a combination of injuries and roster construction. He has no one to throw out there. He is left to choose between playing Miye Oni and Niang minutes and completely running the starters into the ground, resulting in dead Don. Quin is riding the system, because he has a roster that is constructed and capable of only doing that very thing.

People mention “adjustments.” What adjustments should he make? Had we had two more playable guys on the bench (say Desmond Bane or Torrey Craig), Quin could have tried some things.

You can’t make any conclusions about Quin’s coaching from this series due to roster construction and the compounding effect of injuries. Just isn’t fair.

This is all on bad luck with injuries and DL and Zanik. Period. You could make an argument that the injury issues are also partially on DL and Zanik, because Conley is an aging PG and was already a known injury risk when he was brought in.

Heads must roll, but not Quin’s.

Your are equating "adjustments" with "use different players". The adjustment needs to be to get his players to do different things. But he keeps trying to put different, far lesser, players into the same situations and expects them to do the same things. Even using his best team available, when it's clear Lue has changed their game plan that is effectively shutting down our normal schemes, Quin's answer is "fight harder to get a 3" rather than having them run a different set that is more effective against the D they are showing us.

Hell you see a simple example of the expected adjustments in Hoosiers.

"Ok we're gonna run the picket fence at'em. And don't get caught watching the paint dry."

He did something different they didn't expect, and they got the shot they needed.

That's the adjustments we just aren't making. Quin just doubles down on the game plan the clippers have already broken. He needs to give his players something else to do.

If both teams are healthy I think Clips win still... it would be close and it wouldn't be this frustrating though. Honestly if Don is 100% last night we win and I'm not sure its close.

I think if everyone was healthy we would have a fighting chance and it wouldn't be so lop-sided for sure. I think with a fully healthy squad we could find a way to win it. I'd put my money on us winning in that circumstance.
 
What kind of question is this? This is one of those questions people ask but the obvious is answer...


PERSONNEL.......
 
Terrence Mann is a 2nd year rookie, he makes 1.5 mil this season, he outperformed Royce O'Neale in the game5, Royce makes 8.5mil..


Utah's personnel/roster is laden with these sort of "pay upfront for good regular season players" whos value deteriorates (on a cost per dollar basis) in playoff scenarios...
 
Mike Conley makes all this $$$ n cant play.. These are rediculous gambles by the F/O...

I've been saying it for years i'll say it again reminds me of the early 2000's knicks chasing for wins that lead nowhere.
 
I mean Georges Niang sucks! hes shooting like 20% this playoffs! These other teams in the west have suuuch better players than Niang coming off the bench...


Oni too...

Because they overpay players, 3rd stringers like Niang and Oni get burn around here.. it's a mismanagement of funds/allocations
 
I never ever trusted Niang to be clutch after how hard he choked away ISU's tourney run Junior year n if he's shooting 28% from the field this playoffs thats got a similar stink to it.
 
Really, the last few years it comes down to one persons fault: Rudy. We've seen Jazz defenders get lazier and lazier with only a slight interest in stopping forward progress of the opposing player(s) whether in half court sets or fast break sets because Rudy can deter/change shots once they get beat. It's true, but then the beaten defenders don't reliably help on the man Rudy left nor is there ever any intent to try and rebound. In addition, our other defenders just ball watch while their man sneaks into a position where they can shoot open shots (Donovan could be the worst offender of this). Horrible habits have been developed and are now being exposed and there doesn't seem to be any accountability. I also can remember when Don was going to be a defensive stopper, and then he quickly realized people don't worship defensive stoppers and that flamed out.

We won game 1 and 2 with a healthy Spida, no Conley vs their healthy team.
We lost game 5 with a hobbled Spida and no Kawhi.

Seriously. We are getting out coached.

Oh please. An unhealthy Mitchell and no Conley means we have no offensive stars. They still have PG. that gives them an edge. An unhealthy Donovan is not a star. He can barely jump. Based on this logic frank Vogel was outcoached. Mike Malone was out coached. No, their teams were not healthy. You can only make so much noise in the playoffs with your role players.
 
I chalk it up to Mike Connolly is made of glass he the difference in this series let him walk go after jrue Holliday
