Uta vs. Hou: Game 2 off/def strategy change up?

[Deleted member 365]

Jazz had their chance at Kemba. They chose Enes.

When you can't sign any free agents you have to draft better than jazz have.

Excellent point.

We’re a small market so signing the big time free agents isn’t going to happen.

That makes it all the important that you make smart free agent signings and excel in the draft. We haven’t done that.

Why didn’t we sign Seth Curry? We should’ve gotten Gallinari two summers ago instead of waiting on Hayward. What about Tobias Harris?Why didn’t we go after a harden stopper like Aminu? And we’ve been poor in the draft. Two scores and the rest have been major busts.

Grayson had some heart tonight as well

If we still made a move for Conley (would cost Favors), you throw the MLE at Jabari. Don’t give me this defense ****. “OMG defense will cost us in the playoffs.” Yeah, well, so will offense.

There was more fire last season, I don’t know if it was Mitchell being the “new big thing” or what, but Ingles looked better last year during the playoffs, Gobert, nearly everyone.

O’Neale was the exception tonight, attitude wise. Frustrating.

Allen should definitely play more. Jazz ain’t stopping the Rockets and Allen might be the second best scorer on the team, which is a little sad.

Even floating the idea of playing Grayson significant minutes because the rest of the Jazz (including Mitchell) have been so awful offensively so far is sad in itself.

Houston is good. But, we seem really off. Not sure what's going on.

The pluckiness has worn off. I thought it had during the season.

Lindsey threw assetts in desperation, now there is a Tough road ahead for jazz.

Turns out defense doesn't win championships, nor has it ever won championships outside of huge anomalies a la the 1989/1990 and 2004 pistons... And those teams had great athletic wings that could create, unlike our $hit roster. IDK WHY the **** jazz management think that a defensive minded team is better suited in today's NBA. Trade Gobert while we can IMO. Favors is solid enough to start at center in today's league.

I just think back to the Kirilenko years when the Jazz could have traded him for legit players like Shawn Marion and always rejected it.
Makes you wonder how many trades the Jazz rejected that could have helped and even hurt them.
Part of me Hope's Houston crushes the Jazz the last 2 games to force some changes that are obvious necessary.

Local media needs to put Snyder and Lindsay on watch. They've gotten a pass for far too long.

Rumors were that Mark Cuban offered to trade Dirk for AK and the jazz brass said no.

I was born and raised in Alabama as a Bama fan. For Alabama football, our titles have been built around our defense. It is behind everything. Its something you count on. When it is good, we contend.

For the Jazz recently, we pride ourselves on defense. Well, Harden and a suspect game plan has us reeling on defense. Our entire identity is getting destroyed. That is impacting our confidence and continuity on the other end.
