What a wet fart of a Game 1

I would love Griffin on the jazz. But he's fragile as tissue paper.

We already have a paper player, DedEx
 
Griffin is never healthy for the playoffa

Was gonna say this... if we had Blake we'd be much worse... we'd have to gut our depth and then he wouldn't be available when we need him most.

Of course we wouldn't have to rely on him nearly as heavily as Detroit so maybe with a lighter load he could stay somewhat healthy.

We really can't turn our nose at any of these guys (except Love... he ain't it)... will have to take what we can get (if we can get it).
 
Please for the love of all that is holy, NO LOVE!
 
Favors was the LEAST of the Jazz problems last night, the Jazz looked not good but the least bad when Favors was on the floor, it could be because at least with him on the court they weren't giving up as many offensive rebounds and points in the paint as compared to when he was off and the Jazz gave up the lane, open 3's and on the rare occasion HOU missed any of these wide open and easy shots they VERY often got the offensive rebound.

They gave it up like Ingles gives up open shots, or how about this they gave it up like the Jazz give up the basketball on offense? I would say like hooker gives it up but even a hooker isn't as easy as the Jazz last night.
 
I also would say no to Kemba, I get the idea of addressing the Jazz need of another scorer but the fit is bad IMO. Perimeter defense would go to hell and Rudy would want to leave because of it, again IMO.
 
Griffin all depends on the cost. If we could send out Exum, Grayson, Bradley and our 2019 1st and maybe other minor/protected draft considerations for Blake, then we do it without hesitating. If Detroit gets obliterated in the playoffs and Blake never comes back, maybe they consider the savings we could provide. It's conceivable that we could add Blake and keep Favors, so the health concerns for Blake are worth the risk considering what he could provide if he was healthy.
 
We need a change in the forward and point guard slot. Jae or Favors has to go and, obviously, AT LEAST one of our point guards has to go. I wish it was Exum but we'll have to give a pick or 2 to get rid of him sadly. I'd go after Kemba. Then trade Favors and/or Jae, Exum, Allen, thabo + picks for Blake. Problem solved for the jazz. 3 great scoring punches with Donovan.

Kemba
Donovan
Ingles
Griffin
Gobert.

Who says no to that lineup?

That would be a great lineup. Blake cant stay healthy but that is worth the risk I think.

But we dont have room to sign Kemba and retain Favors to use in the trade I dont think.
 
Favors as a backup center is a wet dream.
 
Did the jazz screw up resting our starting 5 other than Ingles in the last game? Everyone was flat, and upset that Niang didn’t get any minutes. He had been playing well and can actually score a little. With that said, maybe Allen should’ve gotten at least a few min after it was evident after Neto was a complete disaster on the court or give our best offensive player all of the pg backup min. Quin needs to play his two best players extra min in the playoffs not the same old routine.

If the jazz are just going to give harden the lane everytime there needs to be defensive rotations. It seemed like the Rockets got an easy dunk for Capela or a wide open corner three, it seems the jazz would be better off guarding Harden straight up, because they clearly had no idea what they were doing last night.

The jazz got away from their offense. We weren’t doing pick’n roll, we weren’t isolating Harden and Capela like at all. The entire team was was a complete disaster, might have been Quin’s Worst coaching job to date.
