Added to Calendar: 11-22-21

Yep MEM just wanted it more and the Jazz made more mistakes throughout the game (which kept MEM close) as well as down the stretch (which cost the Jazz the game).

MEM won the hustle stats, points off turnovers and 2nd chance points (offensive rebounds). MEM would have been motivated to win based on last years playoffs but combine that with getting absolutely drilled in MIN and the coach calling them out you knew last night you were gonna get a very motivated MEM team.
 
IMHO rebounding and easy breaks into the paint have a lot to do with our D schemes and how we uses our centers.
A lot of time Rudy/Hassan are down there floating around the basket just following things avoiding the 3 seconds call with no specific reference... guys playing a 4 on 5 perimeter...

I don't think he is worse offensively, regular season at least. He has been stepping up offensively the last 2 seasons in the playoffs. But it seems to me that he is losing more defensively and what improvements he makes on offense can't make up for that.

Maybe we should give credit to Memphis? Anderson and Bane are good defenders. And unlike us, they have a 3/4 who has range in his defensive capabilities (Jackson)

He’s been better on defense this year by a lot. Not every night but on the whole he’s been better.
 
The NBA came out with its last two minute report. Two missed calls benefitting Memphis. That did not include the refs' brain fart before the jump ball.

I don't really think so but I would like to hear why. It seems to me he is putting more effort in isos but he has terrible understanding of distance and his exaggerated movements around screens causes him to be late in almost every action.

Memphis isn't really good defensively. They have been struggling on that end for a while this season. They have the worst defensive rating so far this season.

Bad offensive games happen though. It's just part of basketball and it's just small sample size for Mitchell right now.
