Woof. How do you not win game five up 15 in the second half? They were halfway out of the damn bubble. Now I feel the opposite, I think Joe especially would love to get back to his family.




Yea, don't drink kool-aid folks. Games 2 & 3 were such a mirage. Credit to Denver I guess. But that sure as hell wasn't just the new default.

I tried to wipe the shine off as much as I could. But even I’m surprised at how heavily we’ve **** the bed.

The thing is though I dont think Grant is a very good on-ball defender. He's been getting smoked all series. He just offers good helpside defense with activity and length and has been hitting his open looks at a solid rate.

I mean, if you look at the stats Denver's defense has been markedly worse with him on the court all season and in the playoffs.

The past couple of games they’ve played Grant a little further back in the gaps and it’s made a difference. He’d be a positive influence in Utah’s defensive scheme.

The Jazz really need to come out in the 1st quarter and make sure he gets no clean looks. He can reach flamethrower status later, but he can't be on the entire game like he has been.

How do you suggest the Jazz do this? If they start Conley-Royce-Mitchell-Ingles, then I’m guessing you’d want Royce on Murray, and Mitchell guarding the SF? With Ingles on the PF? —I mean, it’s a weird idea when you see it written out like that.

Since Conley has come back Snyder has COMPLETELY abandoned playing Morgan alongside Rudy. The idea that Morgan take a few reps against Jokic while Gobert plays a Giannis-like defensive rover in the gaps is an absolutely legitimate one. If Murray is looking at a switch that puts him up against Morgan and Gobert, then he’s thinking different thoughts. And if this is happening at the same time that Mitchell and Conley aren’t playing up a position and putting the whole ****ing team at a rebounding disadvantage, then grrrrrreat.

I’ll repeat what I’ve said multiple times already: we have not had a sustained coaching bump in this series. Q has had a few moments, but the last 6 quarters have been especially horrendous. Denver laid down in game 3; clearer thoughts prevail when you remove it from your reasoning.

Well because Conley need to start to play alongside Mitchell/ Royce so the poor little G-leaguer Morgan have to sit and make way.

Snyder has even attempted to place Conley on the bench before and he WAS TOLD that it wasn't even an option.
 
JFC Quiz:

During the blowouts, how many minutes did Oni get so that maybe he could size up Murray a little bit in case that was helpful later on?
 
I’m so glad we dodged Houston in order to play....... Houston? I mean, what are we watching here besides a dynamic guard whom we can’t defend unless we totally contort how we do things?

Same ****. We’ve got serious problems

Remember a few days ago when I said he was overpaid and got railroaded for it?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I've been consistent with my views re: the current roster. Never liked the extra year given to Ingles for no reason. Never liked going after a smaller PG instead of a bigger one a la Brogdon. And I've never like the O'Neale extension. Oh, and I've never been a fan of Niang. Ever.
