Jazz will be picking outside the lottery at this rate will all their picks
A shot at Donovan?
Probably. Maybe Clarkson too.
I don't think it was a shot at anyone as that's not Mike's game. What I do believe it is, however, is an inadvertent indictment that lays at the feet of Quin. Mike was on teams with Rudy where, on paper, everyone defends but, in reality, "Rudy is the defense." People were slowly conditioned to this over time. Now he's back on a team with Rudy and it stands out when there's expectations of defense and not just "hey, Rudy is there... that's what he does, let him do it." That's the beast Quin created. We can continue to put that on Donovan (he certainly plays a role) but it's ultimately Quin's responsibility, and if a coach can't do those coach things then it's kind of pointless.

Mike resume what i have say since 3 games. This team does not play well in offense , lack of talents but they play with grind. And that's the way they can go into the PO. I think the main difference between Jazz ( Don time) and Minny right now is that Ant their star number is much more humble and willing to do some effort Don was not. But i agree also that Snyder was the main responsible.

He might be talking every player on the Jazz last season except for Gobert.
He is in for a real shock when KAT gets back then

I think he is mostly talking about the last games where they improve a lot in terms of defense.
One of the reason may be the return of Rudy to his level. They still have some issues but they are clearly on the right path.
