I didn't watch the 2nd half, but in the 1st, Rudy was pretty worthless on both ends. Giannis went right at him. Lopez stretched him out. Offensively, he was his limited self.

Check the stats, Gobert played a much much better second half. Definitely best player on the team in the second half. Your point is valid regarding the first IMO.

Which is great. It's unfortunate that he 99% relies on others for that type of efficiency.

It's not like we fed him in the post, he backed down his guy, and finished with authority. We litetally have to get him the ball in a very protected part of the court for him to score at that efficiency.

I don't understand what's the point of playing butler for 1 minute and NAW for 4 minutes. why even insert them in the first place

To prove that JB sucks… I mean he played him one whole minute… if he can’t get it done in one minute then he ain’t ready. JB will get the Exum development path… one eff up and your on the bench.

And then an inexplicable $10 million contract for some reason before burning picks to get rid of him.

It is the way.
 
Wife and I are in Paris so I skipped this one. Sounds like more late-game nonsense from Quin and DM? DM grew up watching the Carmelo Knicks and has always defended Carmelo. That lends to a reinforcement of the way a team is good is having “the guy” who will “put his team on his back” and “will them to victory.” It’s more of a nice theoretical storyline than it ever is a reality. But it plays out in how some guys approach the game. The problem that we have is that Quin is much less of his tough-guy reputation and coaches more how I imagine Michael Scott would. He wants everyone to think he’s nice and cool and gives the people he perceived as great way too much slack. Then he’ll have his irrational hatred for those he sees as Toby. What this creates is an absolutely awful combination where Don does his best Carmelo and the only guy who can stop it doesn’t want to piss him off. Quin is supposed to be this savant genius, but when it comes down to it, he’s got nothing and he defers all decision making to a 24 year old that looks up to Carmelo.

Yeah but statistically we win a lot more when they do exactly that, so it makes sense to do so and it is a litmus test for how we are attacking the defense. And we didn't ramp any of that up until the 2nd half when we made a strong run in the 3rd quarter, then Gobert cleaned up a lot of crap on the glass in the 4th. He was definitely not the reason we lost.

This ain't gonna be better till we figure out what to do with royce please don't pass me the ball in forth o neal, and should i run in 3 defender or pull up 3 pointer from half field hero Donovan...
 
When I was watching the replay there were at least 4 times when Donovan or Clarkson missed a wide open 3ft pass to Gobert that would have resulted in an easy dunk. They would make a nifty move and draw out Gobert's defender and then try and force something over both guys ignoring a wide open guaranteed basket. To be fair it was easy to see from my angle watching the play, but from their angle it would have maybe been a difficult pass.

I agree. He's not the reason we lost. I'm not implying that at all.

Rudy had a bad first half and that happens. We tried to get him the ball but the Bucks forced us to get it out to shooters who were hitting (10 3s in the 1st quarter).

Since Bojan was out, we really didn't have a true shooter so we cooled off from there. It's unreasonable to expect 10 3s a quarter just like it's unreasonable to expect Rudy to get 20 dunks a game.

Clarkson and Don didn't play well and we lacked Bojan's shooting. And we didn't get a fair whistle in the first. A few trips to the line changes the narrative.

Didn't watch but another game of Mitchell being a ballhog and Gobert being extremely efficient? Sounds typical.

Jazz got to figure out a way to get Gobert more shots.

He took about an 18 foot wing jumper! He missed it but just barely. It looked really good. Hopefully he takes a few more in the future.

- Great to see Conley have a good game.
- I finally got to see some minutes from the lineup I was looking forward to: Gobert, Gay, Royce, Donovan, Conley. It was pretty bad in the 2nd quarter, but really good in the 3rd quarter. I'm not sure why Quin decided to close with Clarkson.
- As an individual game, it's hard to be too upset about this one. We had some funky lineups out there and still played well and had a good chance to win against a great team. In combination with all of our other losses and 4th quarter collapses, this one was difficult.

Strangest thing about closing with clarkson is that he barely touched the ball. In fact i dont remember him ever touching the ball at the end.
