The past, the present, and the future: Rockets at Jazz 2/26/18 7:00 pm MST

That was the worst game of the season. Jazz played horrible. Mitchell couldn't make a shot and had WAY too many turnovers. We also had to watch Harden and CP3. Horrible all the way around.

There have been much worse losses.

Get Ingles out. He's killing the jazz

We need a legit 3. Someone with length who can attack the rim at will. Can hit the 3. Can distribute too hopefully.

Suck **** for Doncic.

I reckon Exum in the modern age of hoops could be a 3 (if he can hit the three). I mean, how long do wings need to be really.

Tell us about all the players we should have signed. Snyder is a great coach and works with what he has. It’s easy to complain about the players we have, I’d like to know how you think gathering up athletic, gifted talent is so easy.

Do you really think Q has gotten the most out of Exum, Burks and Favors? I have my doubts.

 

[Et tu Brute]

We are not winning a game in which Mitchell and Ingles go 2-14 from 3 and combine for 11 turnovers.

Also, Crowder shouldn't be taking 8 3s, many contested. He's too trigger-happy. He took 15 shots, as many as Gobert and Favors combined. Needless to say, we didn't attack the paint enough and settled for long jumpers.

I hate the Rockets and their constant flopping. Unwatchable.

Yea I might be being unfair - but Jae seems to want to become an important member of the team the 'easy' way. It's almost like he wants to be more assertive because he thinks his status deserves it. But my memories are of him being more of a role player in Boston - despite having a decent handle and rim running change up.

Yes, known playmaking PG who can break down defense Dante Exum.


*that was sarcasm*

Are you one of those that think Exum isn't really a point guard (whether in this league or Korea?)

There are plenty of examples of Exum breaking down defenses in his limited possessions as the primary ball handler and facilitator.

When your best player is a rookie and you are playing a team the NBA really wants to succeed, nights like this happen. Its frustrating, but we can figure this out to make the playoffs.

Find a rhythm fellas.

I think we barely miss the playoffs or get the 8 seed and shellacked by the Dubs in the 1st round. Either scenario sucks.

That was the worst passing I have ever seen. Not just the amount of turnovers from bad passing but how horrible the passes were. I mean not even close passes. We played so dumb tonight and then we couldn’t make any outside shots to counterbalance the stupid play.

Such a frustrating game. So winnable. The rockets looked like they were ready to quit when we had the big lead.

O’Neal and Mitchell both in a slump right now. Rookies playing lots of minutes and lots of games might be running out of gas and getting scouted a bit

Unless you are LeBron you shouldn’t throw cross court passes. We had a couple tonight that were so puzzling.

I do think when we shoot poorly it just goes to **** because guys try to do too much... we are an all or nothing team... either 50% from three and a juggernaut or 25% and unwatchable.

 

[fishonjazz]

Ingles, Rubio, Mitchell, oneal and crowder (our main rotation "wing" type players) combined to shoot 16-49. Cant win when they are all off like tonight.

I want crowder to play the 4 almost exclusively. I hate when he is out there with favors and gobert. If crowder is going to play the 3 then I think the 4 needs to be jerebko out there with him.

Also, jerebko probably needs more minutes. He was a plus 13 tonight (in an 11 point loss and the only player with a positive rating). Against Portland he was a plus 8 (in a 19 point loss and the only player on the team with a positive rating).

Did Quin use his time-outs down the stretch? How close did we get with about 5 minutes left? I was at a party but I didn't notice Quin stemming the bleeding when we fell apart after after bringing their lead back down to single digits.

Another frustrating thing about last night was harden guarding gobert for a lot of the fourth and instead of feeding him the ball, we clanked up 3 pointers for the rest of the game. Shoulda been a dead giveaway to toss gobert the ball
