Jazz throttle the Spurs at their place game thread

The pressure on the ball has been nonexistent. Guys aren't going at Rudy at the rim, but they are still getting to their spots everywhere else. The Spurs are absolutely red hot, which probably won't continue, but the Jazz have allowed them to get into a rhythm because they haven't put any pressure on them defensively.

We're just not a ball pressure defense. Haven't been all year. I've had issues with our perimeter defense for weeks because of how easily we let guys by. Would be nice if we got a little more physical. But tonight we've been pretty connected. We're forcing them into tough midrange shots and contesting well. They're just scorching.
 
Spurs are shooting 72% from the field on contested mid-range shots.

JazzFanz: "Conley sucks"

the two aren’t mutually exclusive. The Spurs can be shooting really well and our offense, especially with Conley, can be really awful.
