Should we go big? Adjustments for game 2

We just have to execute better. If we aren't running the offense, if we're turning the ball over, if we're letting them fast break, if we are not helping each other on defense, like last night then the adjustments Quin makes won't matter. We have to execute.

PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS. DOMINATE ON THE DEFENSIVE GLASS, STOP TRANSITION AT ALL COSTS, MAKE THEM DEFEND IN THE HALFCOURT FOR 24 SECONDS. MAKE IT ****ING UGLY, WEAR THEM OUT, HARD FOULS AT THE RIM, MOVE THE BIG UP ON A PICK BUT DONT SWITCH AND HAVE PLAYERS READY TO TAKE OR MAKE CONTACT IF THEY DRIVE AND JUST BE PERFECT ON ROTATIONS. MAKE THE GAME NOT FUN FOR THEM.

This.

Aggression wins in the play-offs more often than not. Aggression =/= fast play. Aggression is imposing your will, the way the Jazz did in the 7th game against the Clips. And the way the Warriors did in game 1. Whichever team is the most aggressive/imposes their will, usually wins. Game-planning and all that matters to a point. In the end, as Sloan always said, it is about execution.

The Jazz did dominate the defensive glass....

I think the Jazz largely did all of that besides stop transition.

Honestly since Favs isn't healthy I think you have to consider playing Bolomboy next to Rudy. Have Hill, Ingles, and Hayward get back while Rudy and Bolomboy crash the boards. For this to be successful the Jazz have to take more 15 footers to reduce long rebounds. The Jazz can't make shots more efficiently than the Warriors but they can take more of them.

Interesting thought.
 
It would be a good idea if Favors was healthy, but he isn't. He actually hurt us playing last game. He probably should be rested for the next game. Maybe give some minutes to B-boy or Lyles and see what happens.

You hit the nail on the head. Anyone that has coached knows you give hard fouls on layups. I had to turn the game off watching them score layup after layup, while we just stood there and watched. Really pissed me off.

Generally speaking, yeah, probably not a good idea. And I guess the Jazz were grinding but it felt like they were putting up shots earlier in the clock.

My point, however, is that the Warriors just have to be made uncomfortable. I'm not sure they're used to it.

I also think Favors/Gobert should play together more in the hopes that Favors can maybe rotate to the rim and contest a shot. Also, whatever happened to taking charges? Trap and/or run them off the line and just go in on rotations and protecting the paint. Kind of like the Heat played D.
 
In the 2nd quarter, we have to give Lyles about 4 minutes with Rudy. If he can spread the floor, what a help it would be. Diaw, Ingles and even Joe looked so slow the other night. The only way to get out of the doghouse is to perform your way out.

It was late, but he played really well on Tuesday. The kid is talented. A good playoff showing might light the spark in a very promising talent.

The problem is it appears he still hasn't learned that he doesn't have shoot the ball every time he touches it.

Spot on. We need to win the boards and play with fire and physicality to have any chance.
 
Gotta play better. Shots have to fall. Offense and Defense has to be exceptional.

That's the grim reality. And it's not just the Jazz that face that reality.

But, slow the game to a crawl, make a bunch of 3s, and the Jazz can pull out a victory.
