[Handlogten's Heros]

The good news is Quin will ride the vets even though we have a back to back tomorrow night. Hopefully resulting in two bad losses.

 

[Hekate]

We had a bad defensive quarter. It happens. It's our offense that is killing us right now.

 

[str8line]

The good news is our rooks are going to see a ton of minutes tonight.

 

[MT Steve]

Yeah, and the reason why he's matched up against Kyrie is because the other 3 defenders besides Gobert are liabilities.

It's almost as if Royce didn't have to start today, and a superior defender against guards could have replaced him so that we have a chance to actually get stops.

 

[LogGrad98]

Wait our short poor defending unathletic wings are struggling against a pack of large athletic strong-defending wings? Shocker! Who could have seen this coming? But I'm glad we have Niang to throw at them, gotta be a difference-maker, right?

Right?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Finally the Jazz get some rhythm.

 

[str8line]

Clarkson is our most consistent player.

Right?

Brooklyn does not have strong defensive wings at all.

 

[Hekate]

Wow, who knew using Gobert is good offense?

 

[str8line]

RUDY with one of his best drives ever.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

lol, a team full of great shooters and playmakers can rarely even generate a good look against a non doormat defense. Every time we play against a defense worth a damn that isn't taking the night off, our broken-*** offense is forced to revert to isolations because nothing else works.

I'm sure Quin will just blame it on the players, as per the usual.

Brooklyn is the definition of a doormat defense. IT's just one of those games.

 

[str8line]

Will Royce come in for his next rotation? If he does Quin should be euthanized.

 

[MT Steve]

That's the narrative, but it's not accurate.

Their defensive rating is above average on the season, only slightly behind ours. And after this game it will probably be ahead of ours.

Joe is playing like a vhs tape in slo motion. Effective!

 

[campaignist]

so, does Shaq need a nickname like the Minivan has before he can play, or...?

 

[KqWIN]

Even Gobert is getting absolutely cooked tonight....this is the worst collective effort I've seen in awhile.

Lmfao

Tell that to our elite scorers who can't score against them.

He has to prove himself before he gets an opportunity to prove himself.

It's demoralizing trying to make a garbage gameplan work, especially when your head coach sets you up to fail by stupidly having Royce guard Kyrie all quarter and doing nothing about it while he gets absolutely cooked.

super athletic teams have cooked the Jazz literally for the 34 years i've been alive
