WCSF Game 4: James Harden Exposed -- Rockets at Jazz 5/6/2018 6:00 pm MST

Jazz need to hire a solid big man to show Gobert how to play in the post. He needs to learn to not do the most obvious thing every time. One fake, and Capella's in the air.

The sad thing is, it’s not like our defense is the problem against these teams that go small... it’s that Rudy literally ***** himself every possession on offense.

He has seemed completely out of his element in 3/4 of the games so far.

Rudy needs to figure out 2 post moves. Right now he has nothing. He's useless in the post. Unless it's wide open or a lob he can't score.

It was the same problem last season, and he didn't do enough to fix it the past offseason. In the playoffs the Clippers figured out they could guard him by pulling a guard in, the guard would simply stay between Rudy and the basket, Rudy couldn't pass the ball back out, nor could he score over or around the guard.

Houston could lose Ariza too depending on what the market is for him.

I just hate CP and Harden so much... just so annoying.

I'd add D'Antoni to that mix. That's the worst part. The villains are going to win and force me to root for, ugh, Golden State.

You know CP3 is pulling a b**** move when he tries to draw a shooting foul from half court.

Rudy seemed to hesitate a lot not only tonight but in this whole series. I think Capela is in his head in this series which is crazy in and of itself. Rudy better get a hell of a lot of work in this off-season and some post game moves and for the love of god, buy a basketball jug machine to learn how to catch a pass.

Maybe we need to start Favs at the 5. I hate to say it. But Gobert looks terrible this series

 

[jope]

Capella can catch the ball much better than Rudy, is quicker, and overall has a little better touch around the rim. Rudy has free throws on him, though.

I guess 61% is better than 50%. But Rudy hasn't been good on FTs in the post season. He shot 48% ft last year in the playoffs.

All we needed tonight was a healthy Rubio and another wing who can score. We werent that far.

Next year, the refs will give Mitchell a lot more respect. It took Jordan years to get calls and when he did, he got all of them.

Didn’t someone here say something a few games back about calling the league offices to complain about the refs? Or am I misremembering? Everyone should be calling the NBA tomorrow.

It was Eenie Meenie, and while he said they were taking copious notes, I’m sure it went more like this:



FYI Toby was at the game tonight.

The league will help them trade Ryan Anderson and replace Ariza with Lebron or Carmelo or Both.

Huh?... MJ shot 9 FT a game as a rookie. He got plenty of calls from day one.
