Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Just watch this video over and over again. It shows two major issues with our system and possibly Rudy and maybe even possibly Don.

The first video, House has Brunson. He's forcing him to the baseline cutting off the angle for a left handed player. Brunson didn't get by him yet Rudy leaves his man completely wide open to "help" on House when House didn't need any help. Kleber drains the 3. When he drains the 3, Rudy claps and yells at House. If Rudy was supposed to switch on Brunson, he was way too late. So when Rudy left his man, it's on him.

The 2nd half of the video shows Don's guy "getting by" Don, but it's clear we are funneling Dinwiddie to Rudy there. I have no idea why we are running that defense there. It's clear that Don is letting him go to Rudy, but the trap is way too late. I don't know if that's on Don or Rudy, but by the time it's closing, the corner 3 guy is wide open. It could even be a rotation issue on Bojan, but it's stupid. Just play straight up defense.

Are you blind?
 
If you watch that video and you can't tell that Brunson has House completely beat if Rudy doesnt slide and show, you are a ****ing moron.

Hard to tell without complete context of what action leads up to that, but Bogey should have rotated faster. He was a second late (like he always is on rotations).

Gobert is the last person to blame out of the 3 involved in this play.

Jazz could have Gobert stay on the shooter, then Brunson drives for a wide open layup, or he drives to the paint and Royce rotates, in which case Spencer Dinwiddie has a wide open 3 cuz u know Don aint rotating.
 
Lopo would be really useful to have in a front office.

GM's could ask him for his opinion, and then build a great team by just going with the exact opposite of whatever he says.
 
Oh god and I just watched the 2nd half of hte video.

If you think we are trying to funnel players by purposefully letting them blow by our defenders so they can get in the paint.....

Wow. Just the lowest IQ on the board by far.

Bruh every coach in the league preaches to let guys get straight line paths to the rim from the center of the court!!! It’s clearly intentional!

Sarcasm off- there are times where you might lead a driver into baseline help if you have half the court sealed off… no coach scheme would be based on giving a guy a straight line path on a drive down the middle of the court… he literally gets to pick how he wants to beat you from that spot. Anyone who thinks that is intentional is lying or dumb when it comes to basketball.

Yeah, but at least stay in the play. Stay on the hip. Get your hand in the passing lane. Poke at the ball from behind. Do something Donovan. He did an "OLE!"

Dude is 220 lbs on a 6'1 frame with a 6'10 wingspan FOR NOTHING.

Well, I told them not do the Conley trade. We see how that worked out.

I said to draft Herb. We see how that worked out.

I said to not re-sign Favors. We see how that worked out.

I told them do not trade Jae. We see how that worked out.

I'm the last thing from perfect, but even a moron like me could do better than what we did.

Oh it was a complete whiff and not part of any gameplan and he ends up dying with no effort. If you get beat that bad you can hustle in rotation to the next guy too.

I can’t tell if it’s effort or IQ with Donovan. There are just too many times when he is completely unfocused. I don’t know if it’s something that ever clicks in either case. If it was going to click I think we’d have seen it more consistently.

If it’s a random regular season game… okay chill here and there but do it enough you have the muscle memory and can rise to the occasion in the playoffs.

It’s the biggest disappointment because that is the thing that is most likely to take him from star to superstar and he just doesn’t have it… and has actually gone to the below average levels even though he has above average tools.
