We need a look in the mirror after this one.

We have too many shooters, not enough makers, and a severe lack of length and athleticism. Tonight would’ve been a good night to unleash Bane had we drafted him instead of Doka. Tonight would’ve been a good night to play butler to give us some juice. Tonight would’ve been a good night to play the athletic 3/4 we signed over the last few years when it became obvious we needed one.

We just look too short and slow out on the perimeter. Aside from Mitchell, no one can consistently score on their own.

Jazz played with fire after the techs at least. Not much to show for it this game but hopefully that fire stays lit for a while.

Floor generals are known for their offensive rebounds?

Naw. I'm just saying he's a floor general. He can do it all, as well.

We aren’t serious at all. Our three ball helped buoy us but if you can take that away you see that we can’t do enough underneath that. The three ball over last regular season helped disguise our intermittent lack of focus and lackadaisical efforts. The playoffs they will take the three ball away and here we will be. I don’t want to hear anymore ******** from the it’s-the-schedule bros.

Bogey's 12/35 over his last three.

The Kelan Martin that was in double figure for the Pacers played summer league for us but genius Quin and DL thought Stanton Kidd was better.

we need to start playing Bogey less and giving some of his minutes to Paschall. If i'm the FO, I'd be seriously looking at trade scenarios for Bogey to get more youth and athleticism on the roster

This 100x.

We need to trade Bogey’s shooting for more athleticism and defense.

Wow. Another miss. We’ve blown too many of these.

Nobody is taking away our three ball, especially not in the playoffs. The problem in the playoffs is that we lose with our three ball because we give up one million points.

This loss didn't reveal anything we didn't know....but god damn that frustrating to watch. Lost to being outhustled and perma complaining to the refs the entire game. I'm not a "they wanted it more" type of guy but IND actually did win this game by wanting it more. Jazz players just wanted to whine all night.

Another thing--if Bogdanovic is only going to make one 3pt shot, I'd rather play Paschall.

We don’t play smart ball. We waste too many possessions both offensively and defensively. I miss basketball where possessions mattered. I don’t advocate necessarily going back to slow mo 90s ball. But damn it’s frustrating how little we prioritize defense, rebounding, and executing on offense because we’re trying to Chuck up the first 3 we can
