Yes wonder who make those kind of schedule. I didn't look but pretty sure some teams ( big market...) have a much more better schedule.
According to Ron Mexico, not having any transition opportunities doesn't effect our chances to make shots.

As I have got older I have learned not to let bad games anger me as much. Bad stretches of games, however. . .
We do need to be in the market for a backup point.

They always give the supposed bad "tanking" teams the worse schedules to start the season.
The Jazz schedule gets alot easier in the 2nd half of the season.

The Jazz made 1 shot in 5 minutes in the half court. Do you feel like that will happen at literallly any other point this year?

DIdn't we get the schedule before we traded everyone though? I can't remember. Definately before we traded Don.

Dok and Potter could have been used to make six hard fouls each on Joel. Make him earn his points from the foul line while nursing his bruises and bumps.
It has already happened at least once before - against the Pelicans. They went 9 minutes with only one made field goal, period.
So, yes, it probably will happen again.

Schedule came out August 17th.
I think most pretty much assumed Don would be traded by that point to NY which is why their one national tv game was supposed to be against the Knicks.

And they figured it out, just like they will figure this out.
Our offense is still pretty much in it's infancy.
It might lead to some easier points but it's still not a reason to not score in half court. It's also not a reason to miss fts. This game shouldn't have been close had jazz played even a reasonable decent game.
But we did get transition opportunities in the final minutes. Guess what they produced? Nothing. Why? Our offense sucked and was the worst offensive game of the season.
I mean yeah, I'm not worried about our offense.
I'm worried about our head coach not using Kessler in situations that scream for him.
I know our offense sucked. Slumps happen through a season. They're excuseable.
Not using Kessler against Embiid was not.

Off the cuff: Laurie is too nice! Pretty sure that Embid was icing his *** before he stepped to the line with 21 ticks remaining (missed both). He should have told him to **** off but he didn’t get it!
Also wish I had a screen shot of Doke’s look as Kessler came off the floor! Feel bad for the kid, he’s had a rough road with that bum ankle ligament. Hope we find a good trade for him where he can get a new start!

I agree, man the **** up. Then again Embiid is a scary dude.
That is fair enough. I dont disagree with that. But you are calling other people idiots for saying other things were a big factor in us losing isnt the same. I dont even have a problem with not playing Kessler necessarily. I think that would have been a good choice. But you could also put in a little more size to help when Embiid gets past someone, you could have called for better doubles/traps or tried a lot of things but he just let it go. Normally that isnt really a big deal for a regular season game and you want to see if your starters can step up or a bunch of other things but we all have PTSD from Snyder and the playoffs from the past few seasons.
Ill give him a pass for awhile on these things. He has made adjustments in good way before. I am not sure what he was thinking with this one though. Lets see if he can learn and change. I also still have no idea why Gay is getting so many minutes.
