Embid is the best player in the league. Struggling against him happen to almost every player every night. But the main reason why we loose was our poor shooting and shoot selection. Bench shoud also play more as starter were not efficient tonight.

No, the main reason was not trying literally anything different on Embiid and just letting him cook us one-on-one ever possession.

The league has rewarded us with two home games before we go on the road for 4 out of the next 5 with 2 back to backs. Brilliant!!!

Yes wonder who make those kind of schedule. I didn't look but pretty sure some teams ( big market...) have a much more better schedule.

We scored 2 points in the final 4 minutes. What he makes doesnt effect our chances to make shots.

According to Ron Mexico, not having any transition opportunities doesn't effect our chances to make shots.

lol

The good news is we are 10-5 and 10 out of 15 games this season have been on the road with multiple back-to-backs.

We are 5-0 at home and 9-3 against the West so far.

As I have got older I have learned not to let bad games anger me as much. Bad stretches of games, however. . .

We do need to be in the market for a backup point.

They always give the supposed bad "tanking" teams the worse schedules to start the season.

The Jazz schedule gets alot easier in the 2nd half of the season.

The Jazz made 1 shot in 5 minutes in the half court. Do you feel like that will happen at literallly any other point this year?

DIdn't we get the schedule before we traded everyone though? I can't remember. Definately before we traded Don.

Dok and Potter could have been used to make six hard fouls each on Joel. Make him earn his points from the foul line while nursing his bruises and bumps.

It has already happened at least once before - against the Pelicans. They went 9 minutes with only one made field goal, period.

So, yes, it probably will happen again.

Schedule came out August 17th.
I think most pretty much assumed Don would be traded by that point to NY which is why their one national tv game was supposed to be against the Knicks.

And they figured it out, just like they will figure this out.

Our offense is still pretty much in it's infancy.

It might lead to some easier points but it's still not a reason to not score in half court. It's also not a reason to miss fts. This game shouldn't have been close had jazz played even a reasonable decent game.

But we did get transition opportunities in the final minutes. Guess what they produced? Nothing. Why? Our offense sucked and was the worst offensive game of the season.
