I believe he was.
Their offensive rating was terrible during the run he is talking about.
Yeah my bad, he was just talking about the first half.
The Mavs had an offensive rating of 132.7 in the first half.
He must be mistaken the run he is talking about was in the middle of the 3rd and a little into the 4th.
I am pretty sure he is referring to the 1st quarter. Our defense in the 3rd was garbo.
In the first quarter the Mavs struggled to score. Then in the 2nd they figured it out and absolutely torched us in that quarter (along with the rest of the game til garbage time).

I apologize I am talking about a completely different game. I thought he was referring to the playoff game where Paschall came in for Rudy in the 3rd and we went on a big run.

All I could find was this and this can be stretched anywhere. I could read it as players relaxing when Gobert is on which seems more likely tbh but I need more.
This and House debacle just makes it look Jazz locker room were even softer.
I remember Ingles and Gay downplaying the heated exchange with Quin and saying more happens off-camera because it's just basketball.

I think the gay may have been a little less than forthcoming about the seriousness of his surgery in the offseason. Not sure how much due diligence was done but it seemed to catch the Jazz off guard that his timeline was a little longer.
I doubt it was one instance . I’m guessing just general assholery. Likely fed the drama fire a bit. Guessing he clashed with Quin. We had a lot of tinder to start fires.

My guess(and it is just a GUESS AND SPECULATION, so take with a bucket of salt) would be somehting along the lines of what Mark Jackson did when he was here. He was scheming and sowing intrigues behind the scenes, he was turning players against the coaches and/or other players, when he realized he won't be playing much when it matters most. Again... just a guess.
So many curious people in this thread.
regular season game when rudy didn't play. if you watched it our first half defense was good, we were switching and we had perimeter D. then 2nd half mavs figured us out. then Gay comments. then DNP
when Gobert came back next game we played the same lousy defense again, back to no perimeter d team. Gay knew what he is talking about.
