The **** It We’re Getting This Back Track vs Wiz Game Thread

[Thee Jazz Fan]

You’re using two games as your argument?

We have this entire season to show that our lack of length (especially when we play Conley and Mitchell together) and athleticism severely limits this team. Have you been living in a cave this past month? Our lack of length and athleticism have been pretty apparent.

PS We’re 1-2 against Denver and Oklahoma City combined. They appear to give us more trouble than you think.

OH MY GOD U ARE DUMB, AND SUCH A ****ING DEFEATIST!!

Neither one of those teams is overly long or athletic. Truthfully, the only teams that really scare me in the west are Houston and Lakers, the rest I feel we can handle. That being said, I’d love if the Jazz could sign an enforcer type for some cleanup duty, even if it’s just Brantley.
We have an assortment of athletic wing defenders to mix and match. Also, Conley is very quick and an underrated defender.

1, too bad we won't be seeing the bucks any more this season unless we win the west. and the probability of that happening?

2, we are playing at a different level now because Hou's simply shown all the teams, all of them, the proper strategy to take rudy out of his game completely. that is to go 5 out and beat us on the perimeter. before then, teams were too terrified by the anchoring stifle tower to exploit our weakness. our **** defenders were allowed breaks knowing rudy's got their back. given now that help isn't there and no one's covering their *** any more, almost every single blown-by on the perimeter's resulting in free buckets. it's not effort, confidence or mentality. it's called getting exposed and meeting the inevitable

You lead from a somewhat valid premise IMO but make the wrong conclusions. You have to have the right personnel to play like Houston and only Houston has two freaks like Harden and Westbrook and a Swiss Army knife strong man like Tucker. And yet we still managed to beat that team in their own building.
Even C. Billups was talking about our tentativeness in the Boston game. I disagree with your conclusion about inevitability 100%. We have the tools and the ability, it’s all about confidence and mentality. We’ll be fine if we get our mojo back and intact.

It's about playing well and having some confidence.
