Portland Trailblazers @ OUR Utah Jazz TODAY at 1900.

we aren't losing this game because of bad one-on-one D from our PGs. Stupid way of analyzing this team. Rudy isn't having a good game. Derrick is sick and in foul trouble.

We are losing the game on the perimeter tho.

And Chalmers would be a huge improvement? ROFL. That's a terminal case of greeneronothersiditis.

Half time thoughts

Burke finally doin what he should have been doin, being pesky.

Hayward tryin to be pesky. That's not what he should be doin. He's an anchor on D not a pest.

Burks is becoming more of a facilitator. Timing is still a little off, but I like what he's doin.

I hope I'm wrong, but Portland looks like a team that has our number. This is the same ish as preseason.

Easier cover than Damian, 100%. I'm fine with letting CJ be at us. We gotta focus on Lillard.

McCollum is having a better game than Lillard.. Smarter shots, 6 for 6, +15. I'd say he is the x-factor..

I'm obviously not suggesting otherwise. Look. Point-guards will always get into the paint when a screen is set. Welcome to the NBA. There are maybe 3 PGs in the entire NBA who can cut off drives after a screen is set. Most of the time, the point guard will get SOME penetration. Fortunately, our bigs are typically fantastic in their help, and knowing when to switch, when to hedge, when to challenge the penetrator.

Tonight has been awful in that front.

Bad one-on-one D against Lillard and McCallum is EXACTLY why the Jazz are losing. Portland has thrown the ball all over the gym and even though the Jazz are shooting poorly the game should be closer because of all the Portland turnovers. The Jazz guards need to make Lillard and McCallum a lot more uncomfortable.

Zach Guthrie clearly on the spectrum.

oh please dude. Every time we hit a mini-run, Lillard comes back with a 3 off the dribble. Been breaking our back.


Also notice what the coach said at half-time. Lillard and CJ are not seeing the bodies of our bigs after we penetrate. Singled out our big-man defense as the culprit. Which anyone with eyes and a brain would notice.

It's about more than one game bro. We don't have the perimeter players to keep up with the guards in the West.

Well the coaching staff clearly agrees with me and disagrees with you as per halftime interview.

Tell me about Steph Curry's defense.
