I also noticed the game is more enjoyable when I'm not on the forums, since I can avoid all the negativity and not have my opinions influenced by others.
The negativity is the worst part for sure but I have zero personal friends who are fans of the Jazz so be able to talk about them to other junkies fills a much needed gap for me.

I have one friend that follows the team, and we text during the game. I like the forums, and I enjoy reading what people have to say. But probably better off doing it after the game.
 
From what I saw Clarkson was wide open for an easy shot they he makes like 80% of the time. The last shot was a great shot.
It wasn't. That's probably 35-40 %, max. Whatever Lauri would've done from the wing, would've been a much higher %.

The only shots in the NBA that are 80 % are right at the rim, dunks and layups.
 
What was funny, at the OT Houston ran similar off ball action for Jabari, we've ran for Lauri since day one. We defended those situations poorly, so they basically killed us with our own weapons.
 
Watched the replay. It was the right play. Lauri wasn't open. If anyone was open it was KO.

Shooting early was right so they could get a tip chance.
 
I thought it was quite the great look and one Clarkson makes 8 or 9 times out of 10.
Clarkson is 1/13 (7.7%) with running pull ups this year, and 0/3 from 2 point range. Last year he didnt even take a single running pull up from 2 point range.

But I digress, and never actually thought the shot he eventual took was that bad. My only problem is him keeping the ball when he had 2vs3 on his side and we had an advantage on the other side with our best player and our best shooter both being there.

Lol. It was an easy wide open shot by a great scorer who was hot. (I loved how Clarkson did the flamethrower thing after hitting a three lol. He mimed lighting a lighter under his shooting hand)

Clarkson was 12-25 from the field, 4-10 from three, 5-5 from the line, 33 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Markennan was 8-18 from the field, 3-11 from 3, and 3-4 from the line. 9 rebounds and 1 assists. Both players had 3 turnovers despite Clarkson handling the ball more. Both played the exact same number of minutes (38)
Lauri was less efficient than Clarkson from the field, from 3 and from the line. Had less rebounds, less assists and the same amount of turnovers.

Clarkson had a great game. Got the ball in an extremely high pressure situation where the time was running out and the jazz are down and he got a great look that missed. It happens.

If it was Markannen who missed the shot, we would be hearing all the complaints about how JC should've taken the shot because he was hotter.

I've seen Clarkson hit that shot a ton. I don't entirely trust the tracking system to accurately categorize these shots
