Furious. ****ing refs ruined the game. I hate blaming the game on refs, but they absolutely ****ed the Jazz on a totally bogus call. ****ing amatuers.

Those offensive rebounds we gave up were just poor effort. I'm starting to think we'll never understand this.

I disagree. We struggle to secure rebounds because no one other than Rudy or whiteside can rebound. Our guards are tiny and focus on shooting and our forwards just aren’t athletic enough. Whenever we play teams that take Rudy out of the paint or have a long athletic 3/4, we always get killed on the boards.

Clarkson, Conley, and Mitchell are too small and aren’t into rebounding.
Bogey, Jingles, and gay just aren’t long band athletic enough. Royce can sorta rebound, but even he’s pretty small and is usually busy defending the perimeter. We need desperately someone like Kyle anderson, the Morrison twins, sikam, Jaren Jackson, or Jerami Grant.

This is a major problem that our front office has refused to address. I guess they think we can shoot our way out of giving up extra possessions to rebounds?

I'm not sure why we give Forrest like 2 minutes a night. Very odd.

Quin is developing him. Next year he might be able to play 4 mins.

It's possible to have multiple good rebounders in your lineup. what an amazing discovery

Sadly, we have 2 players who rebound. And they cannot be played at the same time. I’d seriously consider figuring out a way to olay pascal In the hopes that he can fill some sort of Draymond green role and rebound the ball with his athleticism.

I think the front office ultimately needs to sacrifice some shooting for some length and versatility to go forward. Would Bogey, Butler, and a Free vivint security system be enough to pry a
Versatile 3/4 from someone?

Have scientists invented a way to quickly clone us Shawn Marion? Cuz he’d be perfect right now.

I fear drafting Doka and Hughes instead of drafting bane/McDaniels ****ed up the Mitchell/Gobert era.

We're now 11-6. Last year we didn't lose our 6th game until the 30th game of the year, we were 24-6.

And we got embarrassed in the second round. What’s your ****ing point?

that's why I said the Jazz should pull the trigger on Bogey. As much as fans here who loved his shot-making ability, having a below-average rebounder manning your 3/4 spot is ultimately what puts us in a corner. Having two undersized guards in your lineup isn't the worst thing in the world since a lot of good teams are doing it. You can recover from it with the other 3 guys. But there's no coming back once you are losing in size/athleticism across all 4 positions then expect your center to cover for everyone and everything.

Ultimately, GSW didn't start contending until they replaced 6'1 Monta Ellis with 6'7 Klay Thompson then insert Draymond Green into the lineup. I'm afraid that this current roster has reached its ceiling. We need a similar roster reconstruction if we don't want to waste prime Gobert/Mitchell.

we won't have our first rounder this year and Jingles will likely retire at the expiration of his deal. 2020 draft was our last call really.

 

[jom2003]

If the Jazz drafted Bane, my guess is that he'd be starting ahead of Royce.

Royce is only a 15-20 min per game type of guy had he played on any other teams. He's been playing as much as he has only because we failed to find a second player who could fill his enforcer role in the rotation.

What I've been saying for two years now.

Con - Don - and Royce will not get it done.

Too small, and Royce is ridiculously overrated by jazz fans.

I am so ****ing bored of this team.

been that way since sometime last year. the flaws were obvious even when we were the number one seed. lots of good ingredients but together they don't taste or look good.
