Rubio, no brainer! Kept our big guys involved with easy shots, played very good defense and new our system through and through!
Who's the biggest loss from last season?
- Thread starter The Jazz Wonderbra
- Start date

You mean the team that was 13-15 at this point last year, was below .500 until January, lost to Dallas 118-68 and got clobbered in the first round of the playoffs, that team?

The Rockets were the #2 seed last year, right? Or the second best team in the west if not by seed. All last year it was between the rockets and warriors for who’d come out of the west. Likewise, its between the 2 LA teams this year. You don’t think we’d be clobbered by the Kawhi’s Clippers or Lebron’s Lakers in the first round this year? Lol ohhhhkkkaaayyy...
They were the 4 seed and we were the 5 seed.

I just finished looking it up and editing it. Answer my question now.

I think judging this season’s progress by comparing this team’s record to last year’s record at this time is dumb. Especially when you consider this team’s habits, strengths and weaknesses, and trends.
this team has no 4 and no one but Gobert rebounds. That’s going to be a huge problem come playoff time.
this team has no bench. Conley appears to be often injured and missing his shot. Jingles is only effective in a starting role.
the trends of starters playing big mins, the ball not moving around, and Rudy having to rebound everything is a scary trend to me. If Rudy goes down we literally are playing 3 on 5. Ed Davis makes Udoh look like Dream.

Remember when our offense was actually enjoyable to watch? Good times
this healthy warriors team would destroy us by 30 if we played now (and if we were healthy). Mitchell and Bogie would Chuck 60 shots each. Conley would shoot 1-10 from the 3 pt line and give up 40 to Steph. Snyder would play 3/5 of the starters the whole way. Ed Davis, Niang, and Mudiay would put triple digit negative numbers out there.

Rockets were arguably the runner up for a title in the last two seasons. Raptors would not have beaten the Warriors had Klay/KD not gotten hurt. likewise they would not be able to outmatch a fully healthy Rockets team. So losing to the Rockets in the playoffs is not indicative of anything. In fact, we'd make a deep run all the way into the Western Conference finals last year have we been placed in the lower half of the playoff bracket along with teams like spurs, blazers, nuggets etc.
and don't underrate Dallas either. they just beat Milwaukee and sixers, the two teams that smoked us, without their best player in Luka. Dallas is simply a better team than us all around. doesn't matter if it's rotation depth or star power.
The easy answer is Favors.
But I feel like the correct answer is Crowder.
As good as Favors was, the Jazz HAD to move on from him and Rubio if we wanted to contend for a championship. That team just didn't have enough offensive firepower to win it all. Sticking with them would have been a disaster. We would have been stuck. Swinging for the fences with Conley and Bogey was the right move.
It looks like mistake made was adding Crowder and Korver to the deal for Conley instead of Exum. Imagine Crowder coming off of our bench. That dawg mentality he has would be a great help to that unit.
