The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Also, having 2 number 1 picks in a draft might win you a championship..... Hmmmm...... Looks like we need to really tank this next year and not get another crappy 7-10 pick for the 3rd time in a row

That's ironic cuz you have a poster who likes this tweet talk about how bad KAT is all the time and how he wouldnt want him

Rudy finally got played off the court... by a baby.

Proof Gobert doesn't trust his teammates. He hit it raw 9 months before the 2nd round smh

As good as Minnesota’s roster is, does anyone think Snyder or Hardy would be having the same success as Finch is right now? There’s something to be said about coaching. We’ve really struggled since Sloan. Our dead last defense this past season isn’t all based on the roster’s limitations. We really need to re-evaluate our entire strategy.

Struggled since Sloan? Quin got us the 1 seed. We won playoff series with him.

Any of yall talking about him missing the game that don’t have kids and weren’t there for their birth can sit this one out. lol.

I have three children and was there for their births. Well, two of them. My son had the umbilical cord strangling him every time my wife pushed, and so they needed to do an emergency c-section which I wasn’t allowed to watch.

I get both sides of the argument. Honestly, Gilbert Arenas’ comments aren’t wrong. But if Rudy wanted to be there, as I would’ve been, good teammates would’ve been happy for him, supported him, and embraced his own joy in a way that translated into the court. No excuses. Just play your *** off with or without the DPOY.

Also, screw Murray. Dude should be suspended two games.

So it’s the happiness of 2 people over the whole city of Minnesota of 5.7 million.

Not exactly a tough call in my opinion.

No wonder you’re perpetually single.

We also lost a bunch of playoff series that we had no business losing with Quin. I think we were a fake 1 seed similar to how the hawks were a fake 1 seed a while back. Never an actual contender like most 1 seeds are. Once we got into the playoffs and teams were able to gameplan for us is when Quin and his system were completely exposed.

Oh geez. Stop. We lost to the Clips the year we were the 1 seed because of roster construction and injuries. That’s beyond Quin’s scope of responsibility. Other years we lost…like vs the Mavs and Brunson and Doncic. Yeah, maybe we just weren’t as good

Yeah, definitely to an extent. The Jazz/Quin/DL built an insane offense/defense that didnt have quite enough versatility or defensive footspeed. I wouldnt say it was beyond Quin's responsibility, but I get the idea of sticking to your guns when your guns were so incredibly potent all year and during the playoffs.

Quin jackpotted around too much in the playoffs.

There was a mic'd up segment during the series against the Mavs that really stood out to me.

Rudy was on the bench begging his teammates to communicate on defense, and Quin Snyder made a "calm down" sort of gesture before saying that it's important to communicate on offense as well.

Couple that with the narrative out of Minnesota about how Gobert holds teammates accountable on defense and how they love it and fully buy into it, and it makes me bitter.

Come on man you knew you were going to get called out on this crap.

2020- Blew 3-1 series lead to the nugs
2021- Up 2-0 over the clips with homecourt advantage. Clips tie the series up 2-2 but lose Kawhi in game 4. Jazz come home and lose game 5. In game 6 the jazz are up 22 at halftime and proceed to get outscored in the 2nd half by 34 points.
2022- Luka Doncic pulls his hamstring just prior to the series and misses the first 3 games. The mavs take 2 out of those 3 games without Doncic.

In spite of Snyder. Snyder had a good offensive mind but defensively he lacked.
