IF we lose this series…

[kabenac]

You know those people who have two busted down cars and drive one while they're fixing the other? Yeah. Let's sign George Hill and Conley.

But seriously - until the Clippers beat us at home we're in the driver's seat.

This thread when the Jazz are tied 2-2?

@nateboz was talking nonsense about how weak players are nowadays. **** you want to see weak, look at some of you! You're all people who made an account on jazzfanz.com, the world's best jazz fan message board. WTF are you doing here if you're jumping ship in a series where the Jazz are tied 2-2?

Obviously you either didn't go through the early 90's as a Jazz fan or you just straight up forgot. Being a Jazz fan ain't easy. So if you want being a fan to be easy then go sign up on some Lakers message board, then on the Patriots message board then the NY Yankees message board. You're not gonna get a championship every year, but you'll never have to wait long and when things are even kind of good you'll be able to tune into ESPN and hear all about your marvelous team.

So if that's what you want GTFO and go get what you want you instant gratification, no guts, no commitment, no confidence, nothingfans.

Stop polluting this fantastic fan message board with your anxiety laden tripe. The Jazz are tied 2-2 with a team that was projected to be a WCF guarantee .

Those boys have to come back up the hill to our house, where the seats are full and the air is thin. If you're jumping off the bus right now don't bother getting back on after game 5. Go find another team.

It’s a hypothetical question, as reflected by the word “IF.”

The way the last two games have gone, it appears a distinct possibility and something worth discussing. It’s fine if you’re not interested in participating.

No one is asking for instant gratification.

It has been all downhill since Lue put in a zone, and a deeper slide after Lue adapted it to cover our 3 pt shots. They are covering our passing lanes (predictible because we continue to do the same thing).

Game 2, 2nd qtr when during a timeout Snyder and staff were huddled up talking about adjustments and Snyder's adjustment was to tell guys to drive more against a zone. Lue is running circles around Snyder since halftime of game 2. Jazz have never lost a series being up 2-0. That is about to change.

This after blowing a 3-1 lead last year against one of the worst defensive teams ever. And Snyder will catch zero blame for it.

The roster is not this team's issue, nor is Conley (although his injury history was my biggest concern with him).

It's early, but I will say is that this FO and franchise was largely tied to the Miller family.

With regime change comes change. I'm not saying I want Ainge as GM, but I wouldn't be shocked to see a few shakeups.

We've drafted very poorly outside of Gobert/Spider. We've sent way too many picks off trying to find another backcourt mate for DM or guys that seem to be odd fits like Udoka. Without a wealth of high picks or picks overall, we've got to get some better rotational picks.

If you’re the first 1 seed in the west to fail to advance to at least the conference finals in the last 8 years, and the FO failed to address the most obvious roster need, I think shake-ups in the FO need to happen.

This is a dead horse, but I also think we need to trade Bogey or Ingles for an athletic wing.

 

[The Thriller]

Jazz need another PG for sure. Ideally someone who can penetrate, but simply being able to dribble and get a team into an offense will suffice since the guy will likely be a non-rotation player unless injuries happen.

Maybe that guy can be Forrest. I do believe in him if he learns to at least be respectable from 3.

I really wish we had gone after Seth Curry last summer. Or grabbed Austin Rivers off the waiver.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I love when you criticize the front office or the way the team plays and that is somehow being a lesser Jazz fan. GTFOH... I’m a huge fan but I’m not gonna sniff the front office’s ******* and tell them it smells like roses. They had clear roster holes... they didn’t address them... they’ve ****ed up about 3-4 PR things that should be basic... Quins a good coach but he’s got too much Bud in him. Sometimes just doing it better isn’t enough... sometimes you have to make a change or feel out a game... last night we run DM into the ground but take Rudy out when we have all the momentum... he showed zero feel for the game... it was one of the dumber things I’ve ever seen out of him.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Should a post a link for singing up for the Laker's fan club? Since so many here aren't capable of putting any effort or any heart into a thing?

Our team took a hard punch after these last couple games. If that means you're abandoning their corner then leave.

The Clippers need to come into our house and win. If they do that fine. They were always supposed to win. They're the big market team where big name stars decided to join forces. But our team isn't finished yet. Our team was always going to have to overcome obstacles in this series. It was never going to be easy.

But for those that quit this team before the Clippers actually come here and take one on our floor... You're weak.

Man, we on a sports fan forum in the age of these things dying out. We all putting our "effort" in this thing.

When the Jazz come out the gates in Game 5 and are focused and aggressive we will come back. Until they show that no one should be blamed for hating on them at this point.

Shouldn't we be discussing this after we win the Finals? Offseason is still a long ways out.

I wasn't directing my post at you personally but it is still my reaction to this thread.

The team just go tied in the series. The Clippers are not dominating us IN THE SERIES. It's easy to react to the momentum in a series without seeing the entire series beyond the latest game.

The Clippers need to come into our house, where the seats are full and the air is thin and their stars have played massive minutes and used a high energy defense (and have been propped up with some friendly officiating) and win one here.

Everyone needs a little perspective right now.

Meh doom and gloom right now is for weak fans. It ain't about blowing sunshine.

You all can mourn the last game, don't let me get in the way.

I've actually watched a few playoff series. It's not over.

The Clippers have effectively figured out the Jazz puzzle. There is no real counter Quin has to play. All the cards are on the table. If Clippers play to their potential, they wreck the Jazz. If the Jazz play near perfectly they can keep the game close and have a chance to win with a star closer.

That can all change with Conley return of course. It would add an element to the puzzle that the Clips may have to adjust to and it could steal a game for the Jazz in 5 or 6 then let the Jazz get a chance to close out in 7. We will see.

And also ofc the Kawhi knee thing.

I'm so happy for you that you're able to get out in front of this. Man it will be so awesome for you when the Jazz lose and you can say you were right.

Boy I will be so humiliated having stuck by my team until the end...

lmao, do you know who you are talking to? I'm one of the most optimistic fans on here and I said they have a chance. There just isn't any mystery as to what's going to happen anymore. Now it's all about playing with effort, focus, and hitting shots.

okay sorry man, I'm just throwing haymakers at this point in all directions.

Look, I'm not happy, either. I just don't think this is as over as a lot of people are making it out to be today.

Yeha, but my point is that if they play like they did in Game 4, it's over. IT's not like Utah got unlucky in Game 4. They just played like ****. That's worrisome because Game 1 and Game 2 the Clippers losses were competitive. So far the Jazz's havent been. The Jazz have a much smaller margin for error.

Will the Clippers play in Utah the way they have in the last two games?

Will they get the favorable whistle?

Will they have the energy to maintain their high energy defense... at altitude?

Do the Jazz role players play better at home?

I think the Jazz have a damn good chance to win game 5.

If the Jazz win game five then the Clippers have to beat them again in Utah to win the series.

This **** isn't over.

This. We should look at last seasons Nuggets fan forums to see if they were acting like this big of bizzles down 3-1 against us VS us currently being 2-2.

 

[Elizah Huge]

We are absolutely the best team in the league when we play at home and that’s why finishing with the #1 seed was more important than anything else.

Sure we could have played the Lakers and Nuggets but then we’d be going into Phoenix for Game 1 of the WCF instead of hosting.
