Game Thread Nov 25, 2022 08:00PM MT: Jazz at Warriors

[MT Steve]

We just aren't competitive right now.

Meh.

This is only the 2nd time in the entire season the Jazz have gotten blown out. @ Golden State, where they are 9-1 at home.

The transition defense just makes it completely impossible for the Jazz to be a good team.

The starting lineup is tired. The 2nd strings leader was Sexton. Beasley plays really well with Colin.
Start naw with Clarkson in the backcourt.

Ya but when the game is over you take out your starters. This is common knowledge. I mean what if Lauri gets hurt in that extra meaningless 5 minutes? That is a bad coaching decision imo.

Hardy is TANKING, SHEWSH Dont tell the players

We didn't exactly compete with the Pistons the other night or Melo's Knicks either.

Yes we did, both of those games were winnable late.

I think we also caught both of those teams when they were playing well - the Knicks won @ Denver right after, the Pistons won @ Denver right before and put up a hell of a fight @ Phx tonight.

They definitely played well in phases, but it also felt like the Warriors were on auto-pilot for much of the game.

The initial THT/Beasley minutes really hurt. THT and Beasely had some nice connections. THT found him on 3 or 4 wide open 3's, just didnt make them, and the game spiraled. Maybe it is all the travel/games giving the Jazz dead legs.

Sexton's definitely getting better passing out of the stuff that he does, but he still has too many bad decision making moments and the whole team is making a lot of low IQ decisions on both ends.

This is what I was kinda expecting before the season tbh.
The game was actually competitive thru about 3 quarters. Warriors are tough at home.
A few of our guys are getting better.

We have played a brutal schedule, guys are wearing down and Hardy is playing main guys when the game is over with another in 20 HOURS.. He has to be tanking or I fear he aint as smart as we thought.

The standings are so close that the Jazz have gone from 1st place to 7th in the span of about a week.

Sexton last two games:

15 PPG/9.5 APG

11/20 from the field and only 2 turnovers total in 29.5 MPG.

Rebounding, defense and our three point shooting have been missing in action.

I wish someone would ask Hardy about that in the postgame but I know they won't

Better than conley numbers tbh. By a decent margin.

Numbers may be better but the impact definitely isn't the same as Conley.

Unfortunately he is Quin 2.0 in that aspect. It is not a bad thing though since we are much better off losing. Hopefully the wheels completely fall off in the near future and he goes all in on playing the young guys.

We're over .500 despite playing 14 of our first 22 on the road, while also leading the league in games played against teams over .500.

We're not getting a pick in the 6-8 range, just stop this.

Wow, a NBA coach is playing the guys he thinks are his best players and not the guys who arent very good? Wild.

Pretty much the same impact as well. Conley wasn't exactly tearing it up prior to getting injured. The bigger loss is probably losing Sexton in the 2nd unit but it was really nice to see NAW get heavy minutes tonight.

Mike Conley might be the next great NBA head coach at this rate. He's clearly had an impact on Sexton and obviously the rest of the team when he's on the floor.
