Forrest really active on defense. I'm not sure if he's worth the supermax yet but if that's what he needs to get an extension done we have to offer it.

Forrest with the nice deflection. the energy play we've been needing.

Patience… the sex machine just getting that lube.

It's amazing how much the Jazz's offense relies on Rudy Gobert screens. We don't look like the same team at all. It's like the whole team is built to play pick-and-roll, and without Rudy we can't do it.

 

[jom2003]

baseline cutters been killing us so far.

 

[KqWIN]

Wonder if Oni is injured or just that far out of the rotation. I though we might have seen Hughes first because he's the most "like" player to emulate Bogey, but he hasn't gotten in at all. Butler and Forrest both got minutes next to Conley/Mitchell.

nice bully ball by whiteside. will need to make it count when the opponent go small on us.

 

[Jingled]

Don and JC competing to see who can miss the most shots.

Whiteside is gonna have 50 rebounds in 30 minutes.

A few takeaways:
-- Our backcourt looks small vs. theirs.
-- Spurs are long, athletic and aggressive on the perimeter--Vassell, Murray, Johnson. Jazz aren't.
-- Clarkson is our best scorer tonight, and his efficiency is average at best.
-- Whiteside gets defensive rebounds in his area, which is good. His screens are narrow. They pretty much suck.
-- Paschall has to hit those open looks from 3pt or he's going to get benched.
-- Jazz without Gobert might not be a playoff team.

I hate this team so much without Ingles or Gobert.
