Jazz vs Clippers - October 30, 21:30 CET/14:30MDT

Can anyone explain why they didn't put Joe Johnson into the post when Austin rivers was matched up with him?

Because every time they had tried to post Johnson Jordan shadows too hard for him to be able to do much. At lest from the times I remember them trying.
 
Hood and JJ will have to get some buckets. Clippers shouldn't be able to guard those guys very well. Hayward usually does well against the Clips iirc cuz they don't have a good matchup for him defensively.
 
Favors is comically superior to Lyles and Diaw. Really really sucks when he's not out there.
 
Diaw has 0 assists and 3 TO -- wrong game to praise Diaw.

Mostly because Favors has failed to convert a lot of easy shots under the basket. Also passes dont have to lead directly to an assist to have value in an offense.

Because Hayward can drive hard to the basket and overpower people and force fouls or finish before Jordan rotates. I dont think Hood or Johnson can do that.
 
I'm at a point where i'm about to say "i miss corbin."

Quin has to do something.

All we do is stupid ISO's. Burks-Hood and Gordon last year and Joe Johnson-Hood this year. Lack of ball movement and constant 1 on 1's.

Still, I do have to give props to Quin for not playing Withey. At least Diaw has a chance to do something good.

Withey might at least get some rebounds and block a shot. Can Diaw get more than 3 inches off the ground?

I dont see that being the problem. We got a lot of good shots. Missed a lot around the basket and Lyles missed back to back wide open 3's from the corner.

Let's not go full retard.
 
The 2nd quarter always suck for Utah. Did last year and has so far every quarter so far this year. Without Hayward that weakness is even bigger.

Those guys still should be able to beat up Rivers, Crawford, or Reddick from the midrange and/or post. That's their respective games anyway. If they can't do that enough then the Jazz will have another putrid half offensively. We all know they aren't as good as Hayward, but there should still be some favorable individual matchups for those two.
