Does anyone else physically hate watching Royce play?

Depends on the quarter.

I think this is the least fun Jazz team I can remember. A lot of that has to do with expectations. I think hardcore fans are generally happier when their team stinks but it’s expected….but with this team in particular they set themselves up for humiliating defeats over and over. It’s inevitable and obvious.

Nothing really humiliating about that loss. Bucks are healthy and looking like the team to beat again this year.

Now if only Quin could do the same.

we got 2 more seasons with these players. time to try a new coach.

Mitchell’s decision making in crunch time is starting to kill the jazz, OMG it’s ill advised shot after ill advised shot and turnover and that foul inside a minute lost the game ultimately. Coach needs to sit him in the film room and watch nothing but these plays. Jazz got no easy shots up down the stretch because Mitchell thinks he needs to play hero ball down the stretch.

The really sad part is you could copy this, save it, and paste it every close loss we have had and will have. It's beyond ridiculous. Maybe we need Gobert to make a comment about how good teams share the ball in crunch time and get good shots. He's the only one with enough balls to do it, even if it's coaches job.

Another close game lost. At this point, I'm just hoping we're doing a reverse 2021: instead of a great season and ugly post-season, we'll do the opposite.
Btw, someone needs to tell Donovan that he is 112th out of 136 players (20+ games) in TS% in the clutch. That's bottom 20%. He's dead last among those with at least a 25 usage rate.
Quick edit not-so-fun fact: Out of those 136 players with 20+ clutch games, Royce is 135th in TS%.

Mitchell dead last in the clutch, just like Hayward was. Sounds systemic, wonder if there’s a correlation?

At least Hayward's usage was relatively low, so we still won plenty of close games in that era.

Remember in the D-Will era when Deron Williams would hero ball the Jazz into clutch losses on a routine basis and we never won close games?

Of course you don't, because that team ran an actual offense in the clutch and actually allowed its clutch players to take shots.

In games within 3 points, the Jazz are 30th in the league. Dead last in clutch games. The guy who always has the ball in his hands is why for sure. Donovan has been brutally bad in clutch moments this year, and in turn so has the team.

It would have been nice if our owner got actual players instead of cash considerations at the deadline… likely could have snapped up Jevon Carter from the nets and gotten a second for our trouble… would have cost several million but we could have gotten the player that Forrest could be someday.

Once he asks out it will be the Knicks problem… hopefully soon

You mean after we got Joe Jesus right? Cause I remember a whole lot of iso Hayward and close losses. Then it became more iso Joe. As smart as Snyder seems to be, he only teaches ISO ball in clutch time.
