I think Donovan needs to make sure the big fella eats a little more.

Agreed. Well put

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

There was just one moment where I saw Rudy, who was open, kind of holler at him. My concern level is low and those guys should be talking all the time... I think Donovan needs to make sure the big fella eats a little more... that’s all.

They tried feeding Gobert a lot, but it's hard when he's double teamed under the rim with someone holding him.

There was certainly a lot of that... thought there were a couple lob opportunities on DM's drives when Aldridge came over on the PnR. Not sure DM had an angle though.

 

[Coach Ellis]

This is laughable....did you not see how it went when Ingles tried to get a 3 off? When guarded tight the dude can’t get his shot off. Hard defenses on Ingles bother him. Donovan is the one who can at least make sure he gets a shot.

This type of situation is exactly why I wanted Marco Belinelli after his buyout. Jazz really need one more solid 3 point shooter for a game like this. Hopefully, they add a guy like that this offseason or next.

 

[Coach Ellis]

There's no set number, but as a player, you should know who's hot and it's not always you.

Still, can't deny Donovan can be incredibly clutch when we need him to be.

Based on that metric, Donovan wouldn’t be the guy taking those three shots to force overtime in the first place. To get the good, you’ve got to live with the bad - Quin is giving him a perfect amount of freedom to create and shoot. His gravity as a rookie is amazing.

Win or lose, these are the types of games Donovan needs to have. At some point in the playoffs, you often have to have the best guy on the court to win and advance. He needs to know that more times than not, HE IS THAT GUY.

Last night, the Jazz almost pulled off a miracle comeback because of it. If LMA hadn’t had a career game, Donovan is ALL that anyone would be talking about this morning. Once he starts hitting threes at the level he was during the win streak, he’ll be unstoppable.

During the win streak, he was at .400 on 6.7 attempts, and since then he’s down to .285 on 8.7 attempts with increased attention from defenses. Some of that is his percentages coming back to earth, and some of it is inexperience and shot selection. He gets that touch back. . . and look the eff out.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Some of those shots are just bad, though. I'm gonna trust that he weeds some of that out.

 

[FalseFlagg K]

Ya and thats gonna happen. Schroeder is pretty good and very fast. I bet dante could have kept him from scoring 1000 points like he did though.

Once. As opposed to the 40 times he easily torched Ricky.

DM, the Untouchable, the Spiderboy. Hawk - 9/28 TC

But... Rubio's fault for not defending Schroeder.

Spurs - 14/36 TC

Im waiting for the excuse in this game. Rubio? Favors? Enlighten me, please.

No excuse - they got offensive boards and Patty Mills / LMA hit tough shots all night long - especially in clutch situations. It happens.

How about three clutch 3’s and three steals in the last 5 minutes of the game to force overtime? Jazzfanz is ****ing dumb. No wonder Hayward wanted out. Thankfully, most fans realize that Donovan and Rudy are both far more good than bad and will lead this team to the playoffs - against all odds against them.

 

[HgH]

I hope so. I hope the TEAM gets it.

 

[Coach Ellis]

It’s hard to know if some of you are trolls or just really ****ing stupid at basketball. Thankfully, the ignore function has greatly improved my Jazzfanz experience.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I hope so. I hope the TEAM gets it.

I’m assuming by TEAM, you’re also referring to Snyder, Rudy, Jingles and Rubio - who have all told him tokerp shooting and usually get the ball into his hands in clutch situations. More often than not, he comes through. That’s so rare to have that it blows my mind that anyone thinks Donovan is the problem right now.
