Spoken like a man who didn't see last nights game. Which is odd since you did.

I mean, you can be glass half full or glass half empty.

The Jazz shot terribly last night and had a lot of communication break downs on D, but still posted a great defensive game, kept TOs extremely low, got a good amount of offensive rebounds and got to the FT line a bunch.

The Jazz are starting to do the things they lacked to start the year that lost them a few games. If they take those habits and combine them with just mediocre shooting, they are back to playing high level basketball.

High level?

Rofl.
 
Hood drew 10 FTAs last game. He still passed up layups that would gave resulted in easy points, more FTAs, or at worst getting his shot blocked out of bounds, but progress is progress. Throw Hood in some Mikan drill work post practice for a hour a day.

He even did a rare 1 foot layup where he moved towards the rim instead of fading away or going straight up/down.

We're 5-6. Our next eight are a joke. 4-4 does nothing. So does 5-3. We need to at least go 6-2 to pull to 11-8 with a tough slate to follow.

But even that likely won't be good enough to keep our head above water for long.

That one play Hood was virtually all alone driving under the basket but there was someone within 2-3 feet of him and he still wouldn't go forcefully to the hoop. He curled around the baseline and passed out.

Frustrating.
 
It really comes down to Rod and Faves. Mitchell has been a nice addition but it's extremely rare for a winning team to ever rely on a rookie.

I think it relies on them because Gobert can't create his own shot, and although he is a great roll man, he is tagged instantly cause Favors isn't a threat right now and every team is giving Rubio a jumper over a Gobert roll 10 times out of 10.


I'm on the optimistic side because I think Hood and Favors can get going. Favors can be one of the better PNR bigs in the league, and (I think) Rodney can be one of the better PNR scorers in the league.

46 wins? Rofl.

We were basically a 49 win team last year. We were gifted those last two wins.

This is a 36 win team. At best. I'm hoping we shut Gobert down, suck, and do the tank right. Suck it for Doncic!

Last year's team wasn't gifted ****, hunny. With modest injuries (instead of league-leading) we could've won high-50s.

Thanks, though.

The only game worse than last nights (in recent memory) was when the Clippers bench beat our starters.

No doubt the players are embarrassed after last night.

Snyder should be embarrassed too. Time to make some adjustments on the offensive end or change the offensive system, even the Sixers offense looks much better than ours despite they played without Embiid and Fultz.

So the last season slow pace offense wasn't designed only for Hayward?

We still suck.


By the way, I'm betting the hell out of us the next few, only because we're too well-coached and have too capable of defenders for this to linger too long against the scrubs we play over the next six.
