Utah Jazz VS Portland Blazers -- Tue. Oct. 25th @8pm MDT

[NAOS]

to me ,Jazz giving up 113 points is the biggest thing I saw ....earlier today a guy here said any lineup with Gobert in it was a defensive team .I said baloney if he has 2 guard 3 guys on the frontline.
I wonder how GHill will do guarding a bigger DRussell at PG for the Lakers

You have a really hard time masking your agenda.

So are you not playing Gobert then? They will just bring Goberts guy to set the screen. I think favors helps a bit but mostly because he's good and diaw sucked. I think they present a matchup problem that is not easily solved. We can bring the bigger wings and beast them though.

With Favors healthy, I would love to see a Hill/Exum/Hood/Johnson/Favors lineup against teams like Portland. Hayward can come in for Exum or Hood depending on the situation.

Jazz with Gobert on the floor: 41 minutes, +7
Jazz with Gobert off the floor: 7 minutes, -16

A good chunk of that is the Jazz starters out played their starters most the game and our bench got crushed.

Ha. At least try to be a little more subtle.

Our defense sucked because Favors is still our best all-around defender and probably always will be. Our best perimeter defender is Hayward. Missing those two, especially Favors, really hurts our defense. Plus it is easy to pull Gobert out of the paint. It is not easy to pull both Favors and Gobert out.

Jazz are picked to be top 2 quality defensive NBA teams this year,up there with San Antonio,they didn't play it ....that's just a fact ...tonight ,but will wait to see if the screws tighten up when Favors and Hayward return

You should stop trying to make a mountain out of one game samples. That's how you wind up saying silly things like Joe Johnson was a horrible pickup.

It's a one game sample size...

It's a one game sample size...

And we are missing our best wing defender and our most versatile defender.

The cute thing about the Blazers is that they really think us having Favors and Hayward would have made us play worse tonight.

one game that starts Jazz at 0 -1 ,a loss is a loss
