Playoff Game 6: Jazz vs Clippers 4/28/17 8:30 PM, ROOT, ESPN

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If we were fully healthy Id say go for it. Our team is crushed, and our big men are weak on a short turnaround afternoon game. Smells like a recipe for disaster to me.

The two wins the Jazz have had have been on the short rest days (2) and the 3 losses have all been on the 3 rest days.

The Jazz will have to condense their roster. There really is no way around it. They are going to have to have super cheap dudes outside of their regular rotation players. Hopefully DL can strike gold in the draft.

What really hurts is zero impact from two lottery picks.

We have a lot of good, but not enough great talent. I think we need to look for specialists, and tough energy guys.

and everyone took bad shots. Hill, Hood, Gobert all took bad shots to name a few.

Neto was destroyed by Paul on defense, but he did make some nice energy plays + that big 3 pointer(which I thought was going to turn the game momentum to us for good)

Didn't think he got destroyed on defense. Paul shot over him which is basically what he does to all of our guards.

I agree he doesn't come back and we shouldn't allocate resources his way... I don't see him making a whole lot more than he does now.

good point, but this is game 7 coming after a huge momentum win with an experienced team. We are the babies in this scenario who stunk it up in a closeout game.

This feels like a recipe for a nasty blowout loss to me.

He also made the best defensive play of the game and scored a layup and hit a three... a missed shot is a missed shot... not penalized for how bad it is.

Idk, the offense just felt terrible with Neto in. IDK what the official numbers where, but it felt like we could barely score if Neto was out there.

And 20 million in cap room that didn't play or play well... Favs and Burks...

I understand Exums issues because of the injury... Lyles is just baffling.

Paul ate Hill alive too. But Neto's -10 is telling.

-10 but bench was all minuses except Favs who was in during the late run. The mistake was playing him 14 minutes... should have been 8-10.

If I was splitting up the blame pie... Hood Ingles Johnson get much more than Neto.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Paul ate Hill alive too. But Neto's -10 is telling.

Gobert was -7 and favs +1. Look I'm not saying Neto was amazing... just think that Exum has little to no chance at giving us more than he did.

Exum would have picked up 12 fouls on bs Paul flops.

 

[Revolution 9]

Well its 830 am over here.

I get to umpire two little league games now.

My strike zone is going to be wide as a mother ****er.

and don't test me you little brats one "what was that blue" and you are gone!

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

I feel like an interloper around here lately, gotten so cliquish, but that never stopped me before so here's my 2 cents: I think it's a crying shame to make that kind of epic comeback in the last minute forty to have it end like that. Everybody knows that Snyder is a brilliant coach but I don't think he thought out that last possession. Where was the screener? It didn't make any sense to clear out, particularly with less than ten ticks on the clock and now we have to have a three. How's Johnson supposed to get a three off with Jordan shadowing him on the three point line?That double screen out of bounds play Snyder used in game two would have made more sense in that situation. Anyway Hayward was the hot hand. I would have used Johnson as a decoy and run something for Hayward or Hill.

There's no question that the guys play more freely in LA than they do here so there's still a chance. Still can't say I'm not extremely disappointed that we let them off the hook.
