[LogGrad98]

So many teams and players setting career and season highs against us. Our "defense" is a joke.

 

[sojodave]

Trade everyone

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Royce O'Neale, lock-down defender.

 

[jom2003]

That was good D from Royce. Just better offense by KPJ

 

[The Fresh Prince]

We weren't meant to win this game lol.

 

[Jazzinho]

Bye bye Quin Snyder

 

[Release the Kraken]

Okay Ainge, I see you in the stands watching this ****!!! Our window is closing give us a coach that isn’t such a choke artist!!!

 

[Moonlight Graham]

It's just baffling that Paschall didn't get any minutes tonight. I don't think it matters whether we trade for anyone, because there's no way to know whether Quin would play them anyway.

 

[Avery]

This is the worst 29-16 team in history.

 

[str8line]

How is it that you know by early in the 4th that you are destined to lose?

 

[Just Ted]

We just suck. How can you lose to the rockets if you want to be a contender? No defense. Even worse offense

 

[416Klawzz]

Ainge is at the game, changes will be made the experiment is over and the overhaul will begin it's now or never

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz may want to trade Clarkson because he can't defend, but they may also want to trade Royce because he can't score. He had wide open 3pt shot and missed the rim with it.

He's a bench player.

Royce is a bench player. Not a starter on a championship roster.

That was actually good defense. I know people love popular narratives but

 

[jom2003]

That was a wild shot by Conley from Steph Curry range, and I thought Donovan playing hero ball was bad......

I remember that was my biggest concern last year, even when they were winning all those games. The team is **** in clutch games. If my memory is correct, they didn't win a close game until the second half of the season last year (mostly because they were winning by a lot, but still). The team just combusts in the clutch. Too many of our guys are afraid of the moment. It happens in the playoffs every year. It's an issue that's hard to plan for, but if you can't make plays down the stretch, you can't win. You're not going to blow teams out in the playoffs.

Jazz may want to trade Clarkson because he can't defend, but they may also want to trade Royce because he can't score. He had wide open 3pt shot and missed the rim with it.

He also got two offensive rebounds that resulted in a key three-pointer.

Yep. Royce is an overrated defender but that was a solid defensive possession. Can't do much better than what he did on KPJ.

Threes are a premium down that far with that little time left, especially open ones.
