Added to Calendar: 06-12-21

Niang just has no place in the playoffs. Sure in the regular season when defenses are a little more lax he can drive, pass a bit, and hit open shots. In the playoffs with everything tightening up none of that is there and anything he tries to do will look forced.
 
just get someone off a minimum deal. like Austin Rivers for Denver. Cameron Payne for the Suns. No point of holding onto Niang after watching him disappoint time and time again deep in the playoffs.
 
Batum scoring 17, only getting 1 foul, playing 35 minutes and stretching Rudy out of the lane killed us.

Thats all a good team has to do - put a shooter at the 5 and Rudy goes from being elite to being just pretty good. He or we have to get Batum into foul trouble.

i feel the jazz had some momentum

then niang came in and bricked a wide open 3.
then he turned it over leading to a 3
then he turned it over again leading to a 2

absolutely horrendous. probably the worst stretch of basketball ive ever seen,
 
Well now I'm very glad I wasn't able to get tickets to this one. Damn.
 
Let's hope this series goes like the Spurs series from 1998.

Jazz win games one and two by very close margins, turn around and lose game three by 21 and bounce back, winning game four - before closing it out in Salt Lake in game five.

Don’t forget some atrocious defense.

He can play in certain matchups. He’s just not a sure fire every series player. He needs to tone it down like 4 notches.

This is why you have specialists on the bench with the prospects and not just prospects on prospects. Need real useable nba players on the bench.
 
Kawhi had zero fouls tonight and he guarded Don much of the time. When not guarding Don, he was reaching nonstop.

We didn't lose because of this but give me a ****ing break you rigged NBA.

Torrey Craig was available for the minimum to start the season... he was available in season for a second rounder... we got Matt Thomas instead. We cut Shaq instead of Oni... at least Shaq can defend... even if he can’t shoot at all.
