Sexton getting pretty good at flopping

The story of this game is too many missed layups, too many missed open threes and too many missed free throws.

We weren't ever going to stop the suns. We need those points and we might have been able to outscore them

At some point I hope the Jazz play a team that doesn't go nuclear from 3 against them.

The zone gives teams a lot of wide open 3s.

5 turnovers for Makannen and 5 turnovers for Sexton.

Other than those 2 guys we only had 3 turnovers. Not bad
13 total

More missed free throws

Zone works a lot better when the other team is pulling the ball out of their own basket.

Eh, we weren't lighting the world on fire on the road prior to the trades.
Plus this is the first game after the trade. Gotta give it a tiny bit of time at least. Hardy is having to put in new stuff for new lineups and new players. Some players are playing their first minutes with the jazz in a LONG time (tht and Hendricks)

We will probably be better at home after some time with the new lineups and players

too many missed free throws.

Sexton: 2-5 FTs

I’m reminded of a major reason I wasn’t a fan of Hendricks at draft time. Dude can’t hit a layup to save his life.

Exactly. An 88% shooter normally.
We were so close to being able to beat the Suns on the road with a new depleted roster.
Wasn't our night. Missed too many free throws, too many wide open threes, too many missed layups. Still nearly put up 120 on the road. Got lots of good looks.
Plenty to be excited about.

Keyonte played 30 minutes. Is that a career high for him?

 

[Shad]

Well, I will say it coulda been worse. Overall more competitive game than a lot of others this season

How come things that happen to stupid people keep happening to me?

We would have won with the new guys.

 

[fishonjazz]

67% from the line
34% from three (missed a lot of wide open ones)
43% from the field (missed a lot of layups and easy close shots)

Suns were 59% from the field
48% from 3
69% from the line

Make or miss league a lot of nights

I see Collins with his usual solid -20 for the game

How on earth can all the other starter be -3, -5, 6, -8 but then John Collins is -20

 

[framer]

Clarkson just HAS to get better. These 4-12 games are killing us!
