This is just brutal on Exum. His man is in the middle of the paint on Ingles drive.
Soon it will be over....

Anyone else think our horrible offense is leading to a lot of our defensive struggles?
I haven't checked into any stats, but I feel like our biggest problem is our defense. All this complaining about the offense. But I think when we play good defense it fuels our offense.
So whats wrong with the defense? Where is the Rudy impact?
Could have signed Jabari or Lavine this summer. They have offense.
I didnt hear any support for those moves. So y'all should stop complaining. You offered no solutions in the offseason.
You cant sign imaginary players.
I remember things were bleak at points last year, but we had Rudy's injury as an excuse and didn't have a taste of this team working. so this is dare say is bleaker than last year.
Snyder is a good coach, but even good coaches make mistakes. A starting lineup of Rubio, O'Neale, Ingles, Favors, and Gobert is a mistake. Hope he learns from it.
I was at the arena and my take aways.
Early turnovers suck. Rubio doesn’t protect the ball and it digs us into a whole. We never had any momentum.
The starting lineup finished down 3 in the first quarter (15-12). I rewatched what happened to them.Snyder is a good coach, but even good coaches make mistakes. A starting lineup of Rubio, O'Neale, Ingles, Favors, and Gobert is a mistake. Hope he learns from it.
The starting lineup finished down 3 in the first quarter (15-12). I rewatched what happened to them.
1. Gobert missed a ridiculously easy layup attempt on a feed from Favors on a backdoor cut. He makes that 9/10 times.
2. Every turnover was low reward type due to carelessness and they all led to points (7 points, besides the one Ingles had baseline against Turner, which led to an O'Neale steal and an open Ingles 3).
I'm not a fan of that lineup aesthetically, but I think it can work (and should work against the Pacers). The problem is you can't commit lazy turnovers and give the other team early confidence.
Either way, a 3 point hole the starting lineup put you in doesnt cause you to lose a game by 33.
@Stoked What the heck did you buy? Whatever it was didn’t have enough mojo to turn a turd into anything but a turd.
I think it’s pretty clear Jazz can’t handle physical teams, or teams with big men who shoot.
Hey at least we started 5-0 and crushed Kobe and Lakers in the first gameI think last time I was this disappointed by a season after 20 games was 2004/05.
7 three point attempts lmfaoHey at least we started 5-0 and crushed Kobe and Lakers in the first game
Look at that beauty of a box score... AK 16pts, 8blks, Boozer 27pts 11reb, Harpring 23pts,7reb off the bench... man that season start was like a dream until Ginobli fell into AK's knee and caused him to miss 20 games
