All that comes to mind is Luka's embarrassing flop in the 2nd quarter that the refs inexplicably fell for.

Man that was bad. You are talking about the one when he was making a pass right? So bad.
 
I hated the play where the jazz had a 3 on fast break and Clarkson jacked up a three. Then Thurl tried to say that it was the right play. No it wasn't. Maybe if it was Donovan or Bogey but clarkson is not a good three point shooter. And even if it were donovan or bogey its still a poor decision. If you have an easy layup you always take it. Layup/dunk is still the best shot in basketball.
Only someone who is around a 40% 3 point shooter should even consider passing up an easy layup in transition for an on the run off the dribble pull up three. Clarkson isn't close to 40% and never has been close in his entire career. He simply isn't a good 3 point shooter.

Thurl is absolutely in love with Clarkson.

I'm gonna pay homage to Sloan and say that Clarkson is a great 3 pt shooter, but we need a great 3 pt maker.

Not sure he said it was a good shot, I thought Thurl said the jazz like to take those types of shots on a turnover fast break, but he also could’ve thought it was a good shot, I didn’t just like you didn’t.

The game was phenomenal I was there in person. Lower bowl. Don played like a boss. Doncic did great too but we won. Wish I could post some video of me haggling mavs fans. Shook hands after the game. Close game but great. Hope we face them in the playoffs. Great game. Yeah. Go jazz! **** yeah!

Man that's awesome. So cool that you were there. I love those moments with opposing fans when you can jaw back and forth all game but still shake it out after the buzzer. Good stuff man.

I’ve said that the way to counter people going small is to let Rudy guard the perimeter. This gives pause because the open lane with four other porous guys, but I’m not talking about putting Rudy on the perimeter to guard “his guy,” which is some offensively-limited guy who can punish only by hitting open shots. You have to get more bang for your buck on the trade off of pulling him out of the paint and you need to give him the Ben Simmons perimeter role. Otherwise you’re either just 1) putting him in no man’s land like LAC series and letting them exploit or you’re 2) wasting him if he’s pulled out of the paint and not put on a legitimate offensive threat.

Against forwards, sure. I would not do that with a Curry/Kyrie/Booker type tho

I was so mad. Pull-up three ain’t the worst idea but they had one guy back and if he drives they get a layup… or he could get a spot up three.

Threes are good but the hierarchy of scoring is free throws, layups, then threes… jc passed up 1 and 2 for no reason there.

I propose we change his nickname from the “flamethrower” to “the lighter that works sometimes because it got wet but when it works it’s kind of surprising and exciting”.

No it has been made pretty clear that the Jazz hierarchy of scoring is transition threes, then early in the shot clock threes, then corner threes, then contested threes, then iso threes, then last second threes, then layups, then free throws, then put-back layups or dunks, then long heave threes for no reason, then Rudy lobs.

It is the way.
 
I miss Porzingis on the Mavs, targeting him in pnr has always been fun. Bertrans was hot last night but in the series he will rather have a negative value because of his defense. Glad to finally win a close game.

If I recall well we were down some points at that moment which makes it even more irritating. If we are up 10, have confidence and momentum than ok but if you're down just go for easy points.
