To be fair, we had Rubio. I feel like the guys did pretty good in the second half. But I don't know how we can really be competitive here without a key cog in our offense. Especially when Dante looks as bad as he does.

Downright robbery. It's not like we went 7 games like last year.

Took one half to figure out how to score against their D. Gobert already looked more willing to post up a small dude against a small lineup. He won’t play that bad again for a whole game.
Into the film room boys. That’s the worst we’ll see from the Jazz this series.

we have neto!!!! lmao. agree. hope we play well on wednesday
So no to resigning Exum?
Not surprised but still disappointed in the effort. Too many turnovers, too many missed FTs and too many missed defensive assignments. I am encouraged a little with the second half but again it might just be because the rockets became disinterested. Jazz need Rubio. I liked Exum and Neto's defense but Exum is a liable on the offensive end because of his turnovers and lack of jumper. Rudy got outplayed by Capella, that can't happen if the Jazz want any chance of winning in the series. I am hopeful that the Jazz can come back and make adjustments and play better next game.

By the way, they led by as many as 27, so it was closer to a blowout than anything else. I think the Jazz started to figure it out a bit in the second half, although Houston likely let off the gas a bit, too.
I'd feel a lot better about things if Rubio was well. Which is pretty amazing. Earlier this season I started to doubt Rubio could possibly work out here.
I still strongly dislike Houston's brand of ball.

I'd start Mitchell, Ingles, Crowder, Favors and Gobert. Go long and athletic put Ingles on Harden and tell him to force the drive (no step back 3's).

I saw O'neal throw it away 3 times in a row.
