Game Thread Jan 19, 2022 07:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Rockets

[prodigy]

Houston only had 8 turnovers. This is a team that leads the league in turnovers at 16.5 per game. In close games these things matter a lot.

The Jazz were outscored by 19 points in three quarters by a bunch of GLeaguers.

Quin never should've left that lineup of Forrest/Clarkson/Bogey/Royce/Dok in so long. No wonder the Rockets went on that huge run. We never got the momentum back after that.

Man, Dok killed 2 possessions in a minute with 3-second calls. Totally killed the momentum and those were good possessions, too. If Dok moved he would get a dunk and the other one Bogey was wide open for 3.

The Jazz didn't put any pressure on them.

This team is becoming difficult to watch. I think we've reached the summit with what this squad was capable of. Morale is low, losses are piling up, the rebuild is about to start.

Did you notice that JLIII the tank commander was on the Rockets bench?

Haha, no I did not. He was a great tank commander, no shot, no handles, lots of confidence.

that's hugely disappointing for Doke. He was playing some of the best basketball in his young career in that first half, then just reverted back to his usual self in the second. An offseason salary dump looks inevitable.

Quin finally calling out the lack of focus in this interview.

 

[jazzVA]

I thought Quin would have had to prove it in the playoffs this season but not sure he’s gonna make it

His own?

The most important thing is that we are playing our best at the right time… which will be in the play in tournament.

He actually came out and said that again.



It really exposes that he views this as a roll of the dice and is hoping that if he does it enough, he’ll get the really positive outlier at the right time.

He's basically saying they need to keep beating their heads against the wall, but harder.

Did anyone ask why he did not play Paschall or Hughes?

Makes me think anyone can be a reporter if they can't ask the questions that actually matter.

No need. Tony’s got you covered.

Is this Tony's answer or Quin's direct answer?

 

[Just Ted]

It’s hard to pin this one on Donovan.

I’m trying pretty hard though

Tony’s. But probably Quin’s, too.

Quin’s answer is actually more along the lines of “you just can have a 12 man rotation.”
