If I was Paul Piece I would have hurried off the court considering he almost cost his team the win.
Missed free throws killed us and not having a scorer on the bench killed is.

Good game though. Hopefully the Jazz take it out on the Lakers tomorrow.

You take it to the rim and get a higher % shot or get FT's, we didn't need a 3. He was in a good position to do this buddy.

I know Dante is great defensively. But he needs to commit himself to doing something on offense. he needs to set himself small goals. "I'm going to get to the line once this game."

That's kind of a good thing. Last year I would've actually enjoyed this loss due to the lottery. Now we care about winning and losing.
Except for the time where he just dropped it out of bounds right
We needed to have Hayward more involved throughout the fourth if we wanted him to be able to take over down the stretch. I actually think Snyder asks Hayward to step back every once in awhile to make some of the other guys step up - which is good for growth but can lead to some losses.
Played hard, close game, hit free throws, work on consistency in other areas as well. Still extremely young.
Actually neither team really made FT"s. We just made even less.

Bad shot/play to end it, but I like that they fought it down to one possession. Next year, they'll make that play and either send it to overtime or win the game. Three losses since the all star break/trade deadline by a total of 8 points. . .
Currently 30-37. Need to finish 11-4 to break .500 - which should be the goal to finish the season. 41-41 and on an upward trajectory.
Not going to get too up or down here at the end of this season. Jazz absolutely have to fix turnovers and free throws this offseason. Improve on those two things and they'd be in the playoff hunt. Too many games lost this season because of those two things.

Wow there buddy, slow down there. I think his first step should be, "I'm going to look at the rim once this game".

Snyder asks Hayward to step back? Lol

Some random thoughts...
1) We struggle against bigs that get physical with us. Gortat was the MVP today. He harassed Gobert on principle. Also,he took some pretty big charges. Overall, I think their bigs beat our bigs tonight.
2) Free throws. We can't leave a dozen of points at the free throw line, we just can't.
3) We actually played great defense, but the Wizards just made some outstanding shots. A lot of the unforced turnovers by the Wizards was because our length looked like it was disrupting the natural flow of their game.
4) John Wall had a great game. He made some shots that almost broke our back a couple of times. Paul Pierce played well too, except I forgot how obnoxious he is - and not in the good way.
5) After being successful driving the ball, Hayward chucked a three when he was off rhythm with 7 seconds left on the clock. Miserable possession.
6) Trey Burke had Hood open on multiple skip passes in the game, but Trey couldn't pass the ball effectively to Hood. We did not pass the ball well to our shooters tonight.

I will say, Burke's line looks nice.

Yeah I was a little frustrated, but I think that's what Hayward needs to start doing to take that next step. Elite players take over when they are needed. Hayward has at times but not consistently throughout the year.

Hell, just try to get to the line. If you turn it over, get a charge, so what. We ain't making the playoffs this year. Time to start working on your game.
