Pels at Jazz: The Hot Streak Continues

On the bright side our remaining schedule is very winnable so mabye Ricky can find something than? I guess thats all we can hope for. And I like Ricky as a human bean. So it would suck if he becomes a scapegoat come playoff time.
 
This one is on the coach and on the back court. But to me primarily Donovan. Really bad game from him tonight. But breaking away from what was really working is what killed it. No favors at the end was a major mistake. Totally took us out of what was working and why? No idea.
 
why was gobert in so long over favors and why was he in on the last play? should've had four 3 pt shooters in on the last play.

I think they were trying to keep him as a screener and hopefully get a switch but yeah that was kinda dumb... they won’t keep a slow big in at that point. Should have had Jae out there.
 
That really sucked... dm with a stinker... Rick Curry is late this year... we are the most inconsistent team in the nba (no hyperbole... it’s true) on any given night we can beat anyone and lose to anyone.

Grand scheme of things I kinda want to hang in the 6 spot... porty OKC Houston... they all tough. Get #6 and upset someone then beat the nugettes... hope Steph and KD hate each other or forget how to shoot... beat Boston in the finals.
 
At least we aren’t the Lakers.

Yeah Rudy still has a ways to go with his hands. He still looks kind of surprised when a pass comes his way. Also thought Ingles passed up a couple layups late in the game and put Rudy in some tough situations.

Scored great seats. Rudy was getting repeatedly fed when he wasn't expecting it. At least 3 times. Also DM threw him a bounce pass. It should be a rule to never do that to him.

Also they turned on the defense too late. Just fell for the trap imo.

Also he got hammered a few times. Refs didn't call this very tight. Overall that might be good for our defense if it's a trend.

you stay with the sarcasm on 100. anyone can set a screen in that situation with so little time left. i just think everyone on the floor with potential to receive a pass should've been a threat. rudy's defender could basically double off him in that situation.

a designated screener sounds good in theory, but everyone has to be a 3 pt threat IMO in that situation. you put don, kyle, joe, and jae or grayson out there in that situation and allow them to screen for each other which confuses the defense on switches. you have rudy or favs out there and they can be doubled off of regardless of how great a screen they set.

I agree... if it was a two point game it is a different story. Sometimes this stuff is simple... you gotta have everyone be a threat.

Screens are fantastic when there is some time to create something or when you aren't pigeon holed into shooting a three with no dribble. Rudy setting screens in this scenario just brings an extra defender to the area he is screening. They have no reason to pay attention to him. Even a ****** screener who can shoot is preferable because the defense can't just both go to the actual threat.

The Jazz are a lesser team this year because of Ricky Rubio. This particular loss has plenty of blame to go around, but I just can't stomach watching Rubio get torched by the opposing PG while going 1-8 on his side. And performances like these are commonplace for him, to the point where people just expect it and it's normal. He really should have been traded at the deadline. The Jazz have great chemistry with him OFF the court.

^ This.

1. Rubio has to go next season, or he comes off the bench. He. Simply. Does. Not. Have. It.

2. Quin must draw up more plays for Favors. He should be our number 3 scoring option. I still feel he is way underutilized. He is only 27 years old. Give him the ball!

3. No criticism allowed for DM (or very little). This is his SECOND YEAR for god’s sake. He is ****ing amazing and we are so, so lucky to have him.
