The One-Day-Early Let's-Do-It-Again thread - 11/4 da Spurs

Yet you wonder why Jazz are never a big name free agent destination. Because of crap like this. Just hating and hating all the time on a guy who isn't even in your division. Talk about being petty and the most F'ed up part is others below so yes it makes them feel better. Sad it really is,. Utah Jazz fans are like college athletics fans. They take it so personal. Gues sthat is because your the only pro team in town. Most fans of teams don't act like this. How bout them Lakers however. Beat down GSW last night, I have never seen Utah do that in past couple years. Lakers future is brighter and any Jazz fan is in LALA land if they think Utah has the brighter future.

I must admit, I'm always amazed at your ability to talk out your *** and be wrong about everything. Rose and Noah both got booed in Chicago on their first game back. Jazz fans aren't any different than anyone else. Also, talking about FAs coming to Utah, your dumb *** would have said no way Joe Johnson is signing with Utah, had some one suggested it before it happened. As for the Lakers, Utah just beat them. Duh. You also said we can't beat playoff teams, as if we didn't smoke SA on their own floor just a few nights ago.

So yeah, you're always wrong about everything, and you're dumber than a clod of dirt with poo on it.
 
Gobert isn't contributing lately, he is soft on defense and null on offense.

I'm fed up to see Mack getting minutes, Exum and Neto should get all his minutes!

Favors has to be more involved in the offensive end.

Snyder has to be more proactive complaining with the refs, he is too passive. In this league if the coach doesn't complain with the refs you are subjected to bad calls.
I didn't like many calls in the first period.

Exum played a good game and Hood was efficient on offense.
 
Over the last week we held our opponents to 89, 88, 91, and 81, in very large part due to Gobert. But one of the best offensive teams in the NBA has a great shooting night against us and suddenly Gobert is soft on defense.

lol.

I want to see Gobert's dominant rim protection like in 2014–15 season after the All-Star break.
 
?

He allowed 40.6% shooting at the rim in 2014-15 and 41% in 2015-16. This year his defense is looking as dominant as always thus far.

Ok. Maybe I still didn't forget the Liliard 39 points performance in the first game.

Anyway I didn't write we lost this game because of his defense. Our two big starters lacked of production on both ends of the floor.

It was a bad loss, we were expected to win this game after the big win in San Antonio and they were playing without Parker.

Popovich made good adjustments after the first loss against us.

We weren't expected to win this game. We were underdogs, and a split against a top 2/3 team without our best player is a fantastic result.

And FYI Tony Parker has been dreadful this year. A lot of Spurs fans are calling for Pop to bench him.

In my opinion it was a winnable game at home.

You give them a big signal beating them twice in one week.
 
Sure.

But again, we aren't better than the Spurs, especially not without Hayward. Splitting with them wasn't a disappointing result and especially not a "bad loss" or "expected win".

Yeah, not a bad loss at all. As for the rest...

Not this year. Jazz are better than the Spurs. Tehy'll (the Spurs will) be all goody two-shoes and play hard on their way to a cute regular season record, but they aren't better than the Jazz this season. Look at how the Clippers tap that ***. I mean, they lost to the Clippers the last time they met up in the postseason - first round two seasons ago. They had that crazy regular season record last year, swept an incredibly short-handed Memphis team in the first round, and then lost to OKC in the second round. They are an okay bet to have the 2nd best Western Conference regular season record these days just because of how consistent their effort is from game to game (although, I believe the Clippers will finish 2nd), but at the start of the new season (playoffs), when every team is playing its absolute hardest, they aren't as formidable as that regular season record says they should be.

Spurs got soft bigs and tiny point guards. Leonard is def the best player between the Jazz, Spurs, and the Clippers, but beyond that they are a meh bunch (and by that I mean they're good, just not as good as the Clippers or Jazz this season - more talent on both these teams tbh)

But they won a bunch of championships in the not-too-distant past, and have been better than the Jazz for the past umpteen seasons, so there is no possible way the Jazz can be better than them this year. The Jazz have never even won the NBA Finals. It would be preposterous for them to have a more talented team than the almighty Spurs who start Tony Parker and Kyle Anderson. <--- The narrative

Well he had the league's guard down, kinda. Now everyone knows him so they're prepared. So he needs to keep working on everything he struggles to dominate on D. I am not worried at all. Just give him time and he'll figure it out. He is a competitor. Same for the team. Very good all around team set up in Salt Lake but every dog needs time to make its bite hurt'n bleed.

I'm not worried either, I'm just telling he was a dominant rim protector and rebounding machine in 2014–15 season after the All-Star break.
I hope his game returns to that level soon, possibly already today against the Knicks! :D
