[Avery]

This has just been a taxing season. We are an awful 4th quarter team that repeats the same mistakes nearly every game.

I just want it to be over. I have zero confidence in this team in the postseason.

He needs therapist or something. Sick of his 4th q breakdowns

When I said he is not superstar and probably will never be one couse of crap like this 9ver and over again some1 told he is still young and need experience...

At some point you'd think a coach would address this problem

We really missed bogey tonight. House was 1-3. Then the bench was 6-24 combined. Bogey misses 2 games and we lose em both. I think we beat the spurs and the bucks if he is playing in both games. Sigh

Sometimes Mitchell just moves too ****y.

He's trying to do too much. It kind of shows they don't trust the offense if they immediately abandon it when they feel like they MUST SCORE. Instead of trusting the offense to generate a good shot they start running purely iso plays. Is the offense too complicated in those scenarios or does the team simply not trust their primary offense? Because it isn't just Mitchell that goes all hero ball at the end. We more or less stop moving without the ball and stop passing which shows that the entire team either just expects hero ball or doesn't trust the offense or both maybe.

The Jazz seriously need to find a different option for the closing lineup next season because Royce just has no business being out there at the end of games. I don't care if he starts, but someone else needs to finish.

Gotta be honest. The neighbor came over and started chatting, forgot the game was even on. I came back and noticed they lost again.
I rewound a bit of the game. These jazz are boring, predictable, and horrible in clutch situations.
I miss Jingles so much.

39% from the field as a team for this game. Mitchells horrendous shooting stands out but there was a bunch of horrendous shooting. Clarkson was 3-14 (2-9 from 3 smd), Royce was 4-13 (some of those shots would have been bogeys), pashcall and gay were both 1-4.

Eh, pretty much everybody else that closes games for us in the clutch has a really good TS% except Royce.

It's funny how Mitchell shoots pretty much all the shots in the clutch on this team, and yet I have more memories of Conley and Bojan clutch makes than I do Mitchell.

Donovan was good in the fourth and in the clutch once upon a time. This year has been a different story.

There is enough history between the playoffs and in the past that I think he can get back his mojo.

I believe DM shot about 30% for the game. Very poor.

That actually stresses the point that they don't trust the offense. If they ran their normal offense we'd get better looks and other players would have better shots. But we stop playing our offense entirely when things get tight as if they don't believe in it and instead everyone sets themselves for hero ball. Everyone just stands around watching Donovan.
