Added to Calendar: 11-11-21

We aren’t serious at all. Our three ball helped buoy us but if you can take that away you see that we can’t do enough underneath that. The three ball over last regular season helped disguise our intermittent lack of focus and lackadaisical efforts. The playoffs they will take the three ball away and here we will be. I don’t want to hear anymore ******** from the it’s-the-schedule bros.

Nobody is taking away our three ball, especially not in the playoffs. The problem in the playoffs is that we lose with our three ball because we give up one million points.

This loss didn't reveal anything we didn't know....but god damn that frustrating to watch. Lost to being outhustled and perma complaining to the refs the entire game. I'm not a "they wanted it more" type of guy but IND actually did win this game by wanting it more. Jazz players just wanted to whine all night.

We don’t play smart ball. We waste too many possessions both offensively and defensively. I miss basketball where possessions mattered. I don’t advocate necessarily going back to slow mo 90s ball. But damn it’s frustrating how little we prioritize defense, rebounding, and executing on offense because we’re trying to Chuck up the first 3 we can

Meh....Jazz scored most efficiently in their history when they chucked the most 3's. A major reason why they were so efficiency is because they took so many. If you're missing the old days you're missing worse offense.

Tonight was just frustrating because they gave up competing in favor of whining to the refs. That is the thing I hate the most. I'd rather see us lose by 50 than lose because we were whining too much.
 
Why didn’t we try posting him up at all? Seemed like the last game bogey killed it on the block. Did we even try that this game? Why?
They did a couple times. It ended poorly. They basically let both teams commit crimes against humanity without calling anything tonight. So he got stripped a couple times.

League's recent rule change really plays in the favor of teams that play tough defense. We just don't get into players bodies enough to take advantage, and thus became victimized as a result.

The refs were awful tonight though. I think they got caught complaining a couple times but the biggest thing is when the refs are allowing people to get murdered we need to increase how physical we get.

I’m not surprised tempers flared. When you let too much contact go you will have frustration plus physicality and it gets ugly.
 
Are Don and Joe both going to be suspended for Saturday? Both guys shoved Ed Malloy.

Hate to agree with Jom but this. Our defense is centered around rim protection and never fouling. They were supposed to not call the ******** moves but they have turned that into never calling anything. We can adjust or have nights where the other team roughs us up and we are disadvantaged.
 
I am not shocked that the Jazz lost this game. They have been playing crapping despite their record. The Jazz haven't improved their defense and got destroyed on the boards tonight. They are undersized at PG,SG. PF and Bogey is not a good rebounder. -17 rebounds with crappy 3pt shooting and poor defensive effort leads to a home loss. I am just not liking what I see with the teams' inability to adjust to running other plays when the 3pt shot isn't going in. Teams are figuring out the Jazz. They also know if they punch the Jazz in the mouth they usually crumble.
