Added to Calendar: 12-17-21

Not sure if that was a terrible play design or terrible execution but Donovan had zero shot of making that.
 
They just made every shot down the stretch. Would love if they reviewed the actual goal tend that happened or if Rudy could get that call when they wipe off on the last shot. Credit to the Spurs… they just kept making em.
 
Lol. Never change Boz. Mitchell has 1 block and two steals tonight. You just complain to complain. It’s one of the few things we can expect every game.
Watch him. His defense isn't based on 3 plays. His defense put the Spurs on the win column tonight.

Harped on this forever…

1. Lack of focus and mental collapses.
2. Can’t prevent anyone with average or above quickness from getting to their spots.
3. Struggle significantly in close games.

Don’t have one guy you can throw out on those kind of players to slow them down. Not one.

Every end of game buzzer beater should go to bogey. He’s big and can shoot over the defender even if it’s guarded well. Pretty ****** play tbh.
 
The part of the game that pissed me off the most besides the final play (when ingles was wide open and mitchell should have passed it to him instead of rushing a shot that didn't need to be rushed that much) was a 3 possession stretch in the middle of the 4th when donovan went one on one with no passing at all and missed at the rim, then the next possession clarkson went one on one with no passing at all and missed at the rim, and then the next possession bogey went one on one with no passing and missed at the rim. So frustrating.
Even more frustrating was how many extremely difficult extremely contested 2 point buckets the spurs made.

TROLL! What about the other 4 players on the court? Why you singling out Donovan? Takes a team to play defense. Team lost cause they played soft. But as I said. We can always guarantee you on the game board with your negative posts.

That's what the Jazz do in the clutch. Revert to hero ball.

And spoiler warning: Heartbreaking losses like this are going to keep coming as long as it remains unfixed.

It really feels like if the Jazz get into a close game, the only way they win is if the other team collapses.

I was also laughing… why was Mike on Murray? He’s big they are going to go through him… why not Royce… then they made the switch. He still made everything but it got harder.

Rudy has to get that rebound when they finally did miss and just once I think we need to blitz the pick and roll when they are making everything. Just make them do something else.

Now in our vain efforts to get the 1/2 seed we will play Mike again on the back end of a back to back… because he does yoga once a week so he’s fine now… nothing to manage.

If we can't D up a mediocre Spurs team for 8 minutes, well rested, at home, we definitely have a problem.
I saw plenty of d'ing up. Often times great offense (or lucky offense) beats great defense. Case in point spurs final basket. Rudy defended as good as he ever has and dude made the toughest shot of his life.
