Gamethread: Indiana Pacers @ Utah Jazz. 7PM MST

[Hotdog]

Pro sports is about entertainment. This team just isn't entertaining. Even with Mitchell, it sucks to watch the defense suffocate Ingles because they know he is the only shooting threat. Watching Rubio dribble dribble dribble. Watching Favors only there for offensive rebounds.

Just kind of sucks.

I bet this team turns it around just like they did last year.

all the wrong people shooting 3's an then there's royce who doesn't even think about shooting one even when he should.

"Confidence in motion"

You wanna know what's even more hard to swallow? We are number 3 in the NBA at getting wide open shots... too bad we're almost dead last in the NBA at putting the ball in the hoop

 

[RickyStan]

Jae Crowder is shooting 21% from 3 over the last 10 games. Getting up almost 7 threes per game.

Comparing this Jazz team to teams we've had in years past, it's obvious that we're just offensively limited. And while our defense is solid, it's not enough to compensate for the fact we can't shoot well enough against teams that defend well.

How is it possible that Exum doesn’t have any kind of pull up jump shot?

He doesn’t even try and has defenders sagging 10 feet off him because they know he only has one move. I’m sure he’d be bad at it. But to not even attempt one is crazy

 

[Jazz Traveler]

Jazz have 5 players shooting over 30% on threes and one of them is Neto, back for only a few games so far. Crowder is now shooting a worse 3 point percentage than Favors. Snyder’s offense is designed to get open 3s. But Jazz don’t have the personnel to make it work.

 

[Crawlnstall]

At the arena. Can confirm jazz offense is cringe worthy to watch.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The reason we score well some nights and not so well other nights, is mostly related to playing against teams that defend well, imo.

Sacramento didn't defend well last night. Indiana is pretty solid defensively.

I was optimistic about tonight's game but we started favors and I should have edited my first post to loss right after that

The issue with the current starting lineup without Don is Royce, not Favors.

And Neto doesn't even count anymore. He's 0/1 in this game so now 1/4 on the season. Down to 4, and one of them is Niang who isn't in the rotation.

Crowder banked in 4 threes last year just in his time with the Jazz. Pretty sure he's a terrible shooter who gets lucky sometimes. And i like Jae.

It's pretty sad we're starting a 5 PER player in O'Neal. You could find something in the D League better than that.

Both are problems. Favors with Gobert becomes an even bigger problem with Rubio plus Royce as guards.

this .. he can shoot that i've seen it in other comps. I think he is fixated on either getting to the rim or taking a 3 instead of reading what the defense is giving him

I mean, he obviously starts because of defense, and you cant find anyone better at D than him in the G-League, but yeah, he shouldn't start for this team without Mitchell.

 

[yamers]

the pacers announcers are talking about how the jazz have no options, they move the ball well but their offense has no options.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Lol that’s our offense

 

[Hotdog]

I feel like this is one of our bigger problems. Dude shoots like he thinks he is one of the better shooters. He needs to dial it back.

Did you know we score 20 less points per game when we play favors over crowder? You sure about that?
