Stoked didn't say we are a great shooting team or that shooting is not a weakness of the jazz.
I think he said that our team shot worse than usual last night.
Seems hard to disagree with but if anyone can do it, it's you
No, Stoked is acting like it's just fatigue, which is ridiculous. I would blame it on "just being pre-season" before I accepted the BS excuse of fatigue. There is a reason to worry as a Jazz fan.
The offense is still garbage. Players are still largely hesitant to take open shots and pass up looks that take us deep into shot clock/cause turnovers. We still miss FT's. Favors' post game still looks largely mediocre. Favors/Gobert still can't hit FT's at a high enough rate to make our offense efficient.
It's not panicking, it's just observations any non-homer would make of their team. The Jazz purposely didn't spend any $$$ in the off-season for positional upgrades, which many questioned. We would look a lot better if we had gone out and signed a shooting PG and/or wing instead of relying on Neto/Burke/Ingles/Millsap who are largely offensively challenged.
I'm not worried if Hayward/Hood have a bad shooting night. They have proven to be good shooters. Burke still seems at best to be an average open shooter, Ingles still has slow release, and Millsap/Burks are hesitant to shoot a 3 even if they are being given the shot. Neto appears to be on a Rondo level of shooting prowess and Booker hasn't seemed to really improved on his willingness/ability to take and make 3's.
I still think the Jazz make the playoffs, but if you want any hope of the Jazz ever being better than a 6th seed(not just this year, but future years), we need to start seeing some offensive improvement. Thus far, we haven't seen any.
