Lebron with 15 pts in the 4th quarter. Doing Lebron things. Mitchell needed to step up to counter, tbh.

Lots of blame to go around tonight. We are near the bottom of the league in clutch performances and games like tonight show why.

I think we’d all be surprised if we somehow get past the first round this year as this team just isn’t built right.

 

[yamers]

gobert
conley

no shows.

 

[jazzVA]

The only thing worthwhile about that finish was Doris Burke talking dirty

I'm sorry, but Mike Conley has to have a bigger impact than this.

i mean games like this is actually quite standard for him. He's a decent player but not a difference maker. lower your expectation so you won't get disappointed.

Mitchell was the only one with juice the whole game and when the Lakers built the entire defense around shutting him down, we didn't have a counter.

 

[The Thriller]

We had over 35 pts on 16-21 shooting from our center position against Houston. Today? 12 pts on 4-6 attempts.

Maybe Q should get another degree to figure out the problem?

Hope it’s not a preview of the post season but if we draw the wrong team in the first round it’s very possible.

It shouldn’t have even been close. If we feed the bigs this is a 20 pt blowout.

i bet nobody's gonna call out Royce after this one then he logs 35+ again the next game and does something like that again

 

[fishonjazz]

Rudy should've backed off and let Westbrook shoot

Yep. I was hoping and praying Westbrick would shoot that. Rudy sags off lebron (a pretty damn good shooter) and gets all up in westbricks face (a horrible shooter). KYP

 

[homeytennis]

Nice choke job in the 4th. Is Quin ever going to win a close game? And the dagger was put in by a freaking undrafted rookie free agent. SMH.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Mitchell with 37 points and nobody else wanted to show up and help. Sad.

 

[outerspacefan]

What happened to playing aggressive?....

If you play hard and aggressive Coach is gonna sit you.

What did she say?

 

[Elizah Huge]

The Warriors lost tonight too smh. Could have gained another game on them. ****ing Rudy and Mike. Royce sucked too.

 

[fishonjazz]

Again Royce as a player isn't the problem

But having him logging 30+ min every night is a major problem

This. Royce is fine as a energy guy off the bench playing 15-20 minutes.

I don't think this is at all true. He sagged off Westbrook and actually got a decent contest Lebron's three. Everyone in that building knows that if Gobert plays him close that far out that the rim is wide open for him.

Part of the problem is that the team is not only going to have to devise a system for these situations (maybe they have?), they are going to have to trust it.

 

[fishonjazz]

I can't believe Westbrook made both free throws. I thought for sure he'd miss one of them.

Me too.
