How do you lose to a team at HOME that has 19 turnovers and only 9 assists? Can you explain that???

Too much is being made about the lack of assist. Guys have to take and make shots. Favors missed a lot of elbow jumpers. Booker missed a few chances to complete an assist. Burks doesn't take 3's when it's kick out to him he rather drive. Hayward been off all season and Hood was off that game.

A wire-to-wire victory at that..
I can explain part of it though. Portland was underrated by Vegas an d the national pundits. they've already got more than 10% of their wins needed to surpass the O/U for the season..
With Hayward in a slump, Favors being sick and Gobert rendered useless by nobody attacking the rim, it was kinda hard to win.
Blazers style of play is the good one vs Jazz : shooting and 1vs1, it was a tough matchup.
Now had we bought a good defensive PG it would have been better.

List of people who failed at guarding Lillard and McCollum:
Burke
Burks
Neto
Hood
Also our bigs needed to push up and give them more support. Millsap only got a few minutes-- but this exposed a weakness among our guards and wings. We have not defensive stopper who are good enough offensively.

What do y'all make of the Meyers Leonard injury? Was that a dirty play from Booker? Kinda looks like it was... He Bruce Bowen'ed him.. (0:34)

Lillard and McCollumn combined hit about 10 low percentage shots with a hand in their face. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap.
And there are no defensive stoppers in the NBA - the rules changes over the last 15-20 years have made sure of that. So don't be upset about not having one.

I agree, but to a point. You get better at executing difficult things when you're allowed to repeat the same process over and over. There should have been more trapping and more putting people on their ***. We were too predictable.

This is exactly why I was pounding the desk during free agency. And it's exactly why Demarre Carroll was worth the money.
No bulldogs, though, right Dal? Too many cakks and pies, amiright?

Talk about frustration. If the Jazz hit a few of their many wide-open j's, they would've been right in the ball game. They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn last night. And as I've been telling everyone about Burks' shot, he needs to focus on his follow-through and those front and back rim shots will soften and go in. The Jazz were getting just as many open shots as Portland. The difference was that they were making them. Plus, there were several blown chippies at the rim on breaks.
