I had this dilemma earlier when I was looking at a weekend trip in June. I think I’ll go ahead and book.
 
I think they should change the salary structure for players and coaches to hinge 75% on winning. And a semi-hard cap to stop super teams. If they had something to play for you'd see far more competitive games all the way through. But when the lowest paid player are making multiples of what players like Malone ever made in their career, there's nothing to play for. Pride can only get you so far.

I’m not going to ignore it. Rudy admitted that he wasn’t 100% after the Lakers game. I’m curious where he is at right now. Maybe he’s still recovering, but I doubt it after the way he handled Dallas (his fourth quarter was a masterpiece.)

I was really discouraged to see how easily the Rockets repeated what the Clippers did last year (I only watched the 4th quarter and overtime.) This is the Teams/lineups fault, not Rudy’s, but Rudy deserves some of the blame. Rudy was indecisive at times and then forgot what he was doing on the last play of the game and dropped to protect the rim during the picknpop, allowing Child’s to get a shot off.

20 games to figure it out, or sure they are going to do it.

They had some bad 3pt shooters hit shots. It's not easy. It's just luck.

If the opposing team is putting out dudes who shoot 30% from 3 on low attempts per game, you test them.

If those guys start hitting, it's going to create defensive indecision because the gameplan is being adjusted on the fly. It is what it is.
 
Conley's play over the past month or more is very concerning. If he's not at the top of his game in the playoffs, this team isn't going to go very far. He's averaging just 28 minutes a game, which is the lowest amount since his rookie season, and he just had 9 days off during the all-star break to rest up. Not sure what happens in the playoffs when his minutes go up to 33-35 a game, but if he's fatigued now then we're in trouble come April and May.

I think the problem is teams have figured him out and he doesn't have anymore tricks in his bag to counter whatever defense is throwing at him. he doesn't do fastbreak, he doesn't throw half court passes. everytime he gets the ball it's always slow systematic setup. unlike dm he can run and throw those fast balls for easy layup. 3 vs 2? no Mike will just walk and dribble around. no risk it no biscuit
 
Love how crazy everyone is game to game. Regular season doesn't matter unless the Jazz are playing badly I guess.
 
They need to sit Gobert for a while to let his calf heal. That is going to be a nagging injury that slows him down and reduces his explosiveness and he depends greatly on that ability to switch directions and get to the rim to defend. If that is hampered we will be in trouble. I thought he was moving pretty good last night, as much as anyone was as we all just sucked last night, but there were a few times I felt like he stood back and I wonder if that is partly at least due to that injury.
