Asked why the Jazz let the Clippers 2nd stringers dictate Utah's rotation tonight. Which is a fan-****ing-tastic question.

I have no clue
 
 
Ben Dowset is a baby. He blocked me on twitter cause I called him out on his lack of Alec Burks reporting.

Not buying that. The Jazz have come up clutch plenty of times this season. We just suck at running offense in close games. We rely too much on being clutch and not just simply executing.

Quin has to draw up better plays in clutch situations. Hayward and Hood they can't always create their own shot down the stretch. I would prefer they move the ball quickly and find an open man down the stretch too.

Regardless, he's made some great points tonight. If it's so easy to force the Jazz to bench one of their three best players that even the Clippers without any of their starters can do it just by going small, that's a massive problem. Especially as more and more teams are trying to play small.
 
Our final possession in regulation was brutal. Ingles nearly didn't get the inbounds of in time and Gordon caught it near midcourt with just a few seconds remaining. Ugh. It's like a broken record. At least put Alec out there, even for a decoy.

The only reason that works with Gobert is because his free throw percentage is a joke and Snyder tried to avoid the hack a shaq. If the Jazz ever get better. One of the reasons will be based on Gobert learning how to shoot them.

Quin played not to lose.

It's not just hack-a-shaq. Rudy only played 24 minutes, it's not like he was only sitting when the Clippers were in the penalty.

I think he was just tense, just like our players. We have to remember this is the first time any of our guys are in this situation. I know it's a ****ty excuse and we just lost to a team we had no business losing too, but we played nervous from top to bottom. Hayward (and Burks in his limited minutes) where the only players on our team that ever seemed loose at any point in the game (I really thought Hayward was about to shut the game down with the way he was playing then he let the refs take him out of the game).

He's not getting it done on offense. His defense was awful tonight. They shot 7-9 on him inside. Gobert was a negative tonight no doubt. 24 minutes was plenty based on his play.
Jeff Whithy is a guy that could have really helped tonight. I think when Rudy's tired or just inefficient they should go to him.

Also, the ****ing play Aldrich made in regulation to block Hood's layup attempt was simply incredible on his part. Then followed it up by stealing a rebound from Favors.

He really willed them to be able to get the game to OT.

Derrick looked like he wanted no part of this game, or just walked into it thinking we'd coast
 
I really hope next season doesn't have anywhere near the same amount of frustrating, gut-punch losses. In '07 I think we got beat by buzzer beaters on four separate occasions and even that wasn't as bad as this season has been.

Our average point differential is typical of a 45-34 team and we're 6 games below that because of all the close losses. Ugh.

I'm a Buffalo Bills fan and about 10 seasons ago, we played the Steelers second stringers (they rested thier starters) in the final game of the season. A win would have put us in the post season for the first time in six years. We lost, embarrassing so, and still haven't been to the post season this century (16 years and counting).

Favors and Hayward have been to the playoffs before. They are not excused. Sometimes there just isn't a winning mentality.
 
Favors looked really slow and sloppy tonight. I think they definitely played a little tense and to not lose, still a very inexperienced team and this might actually do them some good in the long run. Sucky game to lose but no need to overreact.
