Is this the game thread?

It's just hard to be good when you shoot that poorly. Jazz played great defense, the offense just couldn't get a flow. It's really deflating when you are missing that much. Hard to play with energy when everyone is so tense because they feel the weight of the missed shots.

Memphis also played great defense leaving the right players open and defending the rim well. Early on the Jazz, mainly Ingles, had a lot of good looks but just couldn't sink them.

Also, just some dumb shot making by Mack on those two 3's.

I agree with this. We were getting great looks to start the game and missed. It just seemed like everyone tightened up because we missed so many to start the game

Yeah Bulletproof, people act like I said Favors is an All Star just because I said play Gobert when Gasol sits. It's logic.

It's not logic. Both Gasol and Gobert are closing players. It's tough to play Gobert when Gasol sits, because they are both on starter/ender rotations.
 
The Gasol / Gobert breakdown was just an example of how Quin is struggling. The first half was concerning, but the 2nd half was painful.

Missing shots is one thing. Playing awful is another. If Gobert is ineffective on both ends, make an adjustment Quin

The Jazz got the game down to a 4 point game, then Mack hit's two 3's in a row with a hand in his face. It's just a make or miss league.

Between those two made 3's from Mack Mitchell missed a good floater directly in front of the rim and Rubio missed two 3's in semi-transition (all better shots than the ones Mack made). And before those Mack 3's the Grizzlies went scoreless for 4:08. The Jazz only scored two points in that time (including a ton of good looks that the Jazz missed). That's where the Jazz really missed their opportunity.
 
Ughhhh... that was ugly... I like it better when Joe is doing his Steph Curry shooting.

So many times tonight the better shooter moved the ball and the worse shooters ended up with shots.

Crowder was good again... Grayson was good but passed up some shots... defense was okay.

Refs were really inconsistent. Tackling sometimes not a foul... sometimes jump sideways or minimal contact is. Several guys bear hugged Rudy on PnR... not sure it was called once.

This is the Jazz bear curse

Gobert was not ineffective on defense....

This was the best defensive game of the season.
 
And Gobert's ineffectiveness on offense is a result of the Jazz's poor shooting night. It lets Memphis pack it in on the paint and focus on the dives by Gobert. It's not like Favors at center was producing offensive results either.
 
Favs was puzzling... got abused by JJJ and looked pretty lifeless in first half... couple big blocks late... did no one tell him JJJ will go left every time?
 
I've been quietly wondering how the departure of Kokoskov would affect the guard play. The early returns are quite disconcerting.

That's fine, but you also have to reject that his coaching had anything to do with Rubio's growth last-season (which contradicts Rubio's statements), or when an out-of-control rookie SG took a team from below .500 to the second round of the playoffs. Guard play was Kokoskov's job.

Kokoskov never worked, at least directly on skills training, with Mitchell.

Mitchell is assigned to Bryant.
