Pre-Clutch City tears thread (Rockets @ Jazz)

So Locke tweeted earlier that we were outscored 27-10 with two bigs on the floor... the other night at OKC it hurt us...

So it sounds like no big deal to just say we will suck for 6 minutes so Favs and Rubio can start, but it’s a game of small margins. We need to either man up and say Favs comes off the bench or friggin trade him when Rudy is full strength.

Also this is not what I thought we’d get from Rubio. I thought he was a great passer that would make some fun nifty passes... I’ve seen more **** passes where I wonder wtf he’s seeing. The one he put 10 feet over Favs head made me sad.
 
We need Hood back so Rubio can come off the bench. The only basketball reason I can think of for Rubio not already coming off the bench (besides something platitudinal like "being patient") is that Quin really wants a scorer in the second-unit. They need someone to create pressure with the ball in their hands/get buckets in the second-unit, so if Burks starts, we might be looking at new lows of ugly.

Or Faves comes off the bench. But at that point, I think you have to become aggressive on the market because it will make it increasingly likely Favors leaves and also diminish his value as the season wears on.

The damned Rubio-Favors-Gobert lineup doesn't work. Everyone can see it. Something has to give. I would like them to try at least a couple of games of Rubio off the bench before trying that with Favors.
 
Donovan's last 7 games:

PTS.

26
31
21
41
24
16
24

Averaging 28.6 PPG over his last five games. Has Haywad done that over five games? Deron?

agree should Rudy just sit and heal properly for another couple weeks ?? he was useless
 
This token start for Rubio-Favors-Gobert needs to stop. If you don't think it works just cut it off altogether. The players are not stupid, they know what's happening. Just trade Favors or Rubio(or both) if you know this thing is not a long-term solution.

Zactly... they do care about starting and such.

If Rudy and Neto were healthy I think this is a little easier. Right now Neto is better than Ricky. Ricky is murdering us on offense. Not just shooting but he also can’t drive and score at the rim or through a lob... those things are kind of important when you play with Gobert.

****. Maybe.

Something has to happen though.

This too... he’s not anywhere near 100%. We really don’t need him out there if he’s not right yet.
 
Everyone and their mother knew the Jazz would have a problem with Rubio, Favors and Rudy sharing the court. It's something that should have been addressed in the summer, and getting Jonas and Thabo to back-up Favors was never gonna be the solution, even with a healthy Joe Johnson.

Like or not, the Jazz got Rubio to be their starting PG this year and it's gonna stay that way, even if the Jazz are not playing to his strengths and he's not a great fit for this system nor playing remotely at his best. And Rudy is obviously not going to the bench despite being utter **** most of the time out there (and don't fool yourselves, he's been utter **** so far and that's his fault and no one else's, he's got easily the worst +/- on the team, he doesn't seem to give a damn, he's got terrible hands, no post moves, and right now he won't even show on pick and roll defense if that means going outside the restricted area). Something's gotta give, and it's got to be Favors, like it had to be all along. Snyder needs to bring him off the bench and DL needs to look for a starting PF that can stretch the floor, there's no other way around it.
 
CP3 talked unusually nice things about Mitchell after the game on the TNT feed. "You can see how he loves to play the game..."
