hi im here for the playoff bang bus
Jazz 2017/18 Playoff Bus! All Aboard!
- Thread starter Stoked
- Start date
Rubio is shooting under 30% in our last 3 games (26% to be exact), all of which were losses.
For now, lets just say he's inconsistent, but he's putting up numbers that resemble Trey Burke.

Trust the process...
Because DL will find a decent starter once every 5 years. And waste a bunch of assets in the process.
Rudy be gone in 4 years unless Lindsey ups his performance and retools this abomination of a team.

That wasnt a tough of schedule last year to start, it was about the same as this year. Its also early to tell where teams are at this year, Philly is on a 5 game win streak now. We lost to a couple of bad lottery teams during that stretch last year. The only solid win we had in that stretch was beating San Antonio who we also got destroyed in that stretch.
Snyder's team start slow every year. His offense is complex and different and he runs his players hard in practice early. We had a lot more new players this year in the system than last year. We also got a little lucky that Hill was on fire to start last year or it would have been worse.
So you think this team has a chance to touch 50 wins this year? I wasn't that impressed even in the wins. I expected more from Gobert, but it's hard to operate when you have zero space. DM is inefficient (for now) and isn't always a net positive. Rubio has his strengths, but I don't love the style of basketball he plays.
I think we're a lot worse than last year. I think the Jazz might struggle to reach 40 wins.
Next 10 games we will go 7-3(maybe better). Our record will be 12-9 and ya'll will be felling better.
Its okay, this board is full panic mode every loss, or trying to count how many chips will get after every win. 3 tough losses in a row are hard to deal with, but...
It will get better.

I think we will be right around the same seed in the west this year. Spacing has been less of an issue to me. Its just simply we are not shooting well. Games like OKC where we shoot well we look pretty good. Our energy has been low on defense and our shots are coming up short. That will fix itself. The turnovers from Rubio and others are ugly but I think they will get better, having a team style offense based on timing with essentially 3 or 4 new starters is hard. Gobert started last year but Favors and Hood missed a lot with injuries and were not there and we had Hayward and Hill starting.
Rubio had some hot games and some cold games, I think he will find a groove somewhere in the middle. He is a good mid range shooter and that shot is open for him. In games we win he is hitting those shots. Our offense is producing the looks it wants we just need to make those shots.
Gobert needs to learn to pass better, control the passes to him again better and start blocking out. Snyder is on him quite a bit about it.
Hood will find consistency a little better if he stays healthy. I am always worried about his health but I think he is having hard time getting his legs under himself to start the season and his shots are short, that will fix itself.
Mitchell is a rookie he will be up and down all season. I think games like last night will be rare though.
Favors is starting to hit the three. Millsap didnt really start to shoot threes until this age. He was still with Utah at this age btw. He is struggling to find his role. Assuming he stays healthy I think he will start finding his role better and keep improving on those threes, which obviously can help the team out. His health is also always a concern for me.
Inlges is doing exactly what I expected of him. I expect as Hood and others get going he will stop forcing things as much as well. I wish he would stop passing up shots though.
Udoh and Selolosha are playing great and big additions to the team. They are really helping a lot.

I think we had a very significant member of the team out with a finger injury to start the season last year.
You can delude yourself all you want, but this is a lost season. Oh wait, maybe if we get a lottery pick, it's one of the "can't skip steps" seasons for Dennis.
Current records of Jazz opponents to date: 59-57 or 50.9%. Or you could adjust for games against Utah and call it 54-51 if you want.
So just under a .500 record playing teams that are collectively just over .500.
Current records of next 11 opponents (through end of Nov): 55-56.
Will Jazz perform just over .500 against teams just under, going 6-5 or 7-4?
Current records of Jazz opponents in December: 85-73.
Let's hope some of the supposedly tough teams like Cleveland (play them 2x), OKC (play them 3x) and Milwaukee are still struggling. They're all making the December schedule appear "easier" than once thought.

I don't think he can leave. He just signed an extension with the jazz recently.
We won most of the games when Hayward was out. It was when he came back that we struggled.

8 out of our first 11 games were on the road.
