If you take the first half last night and the 2nd half of game 5 vs OKC we stink!!!! The Jazz couldn't beat a DLeague team playing like that. I hope those imposters stay home and the real Jazz show up tomorrow.

They have a good start with David Stockton

Even in the playoff's we get some ridiculous threads. Let's do better people, it's the post season!

I love that David Stockton is on the team, and that there is very seldom an appropriate time to play him. I completely do not understand your obsession with g leaguers. It is especially confusing in light of threads like this.

Homey's take is your get three really good players and you can surround them with GLeaguers than know their role and win 55 games and advance in the playoffs. Gordon Chiesa calls GLeaguers and players 7-15 on most NBA rosters the "interchangeables."
So you refer to yourself in third person now? Or is your other account your split personality?

Every team struggles but at times this offensive is completely starved and hard to watch. We only have one consistent scorer and he's a rookie while nobody else can consistently create an open look.
Our biggest needs are a 2 scoring threats. One high caliber borderline allstar and one sixth man.

I think we need one or two more pieces this off season. One could be had by the draft and another by free agency.

This series was "needed."
The notion that a top shelf defense is just as valuable as a top shelf offense may get you 50 wins or so in the regular season but it won't get you far in the playoffs.
It's been made readily obvious that The Jazz needs someone other than Mitchell who can score in volumes if they want to get to the next level - we'll see how the FO responds.

Houston has both a top-shelf offense and a top-shelf defense. Any team with just one or the other would be getting blown out.

Clint Capella was a late first round pick a couple of years ago. There is value at where the Jazz will draft this year.

There is always value in the draft, but there is more than likely disappointment when you draft outside the lottery.

The Jazz have stumbled in to what's kind of a good problem: they got too good too early. Underdog teams overperform, and/or teams that have been losing want to keep unexpected success going instead of following a long term process.
After Hayward left, no one could have seen Mitchell and the win streaks coming. That's a common problem, and it leads to somewhat
of a fool's gold perception. It can make you fall in love with good players that lack top shelf talent, like Crowder and O'Neale. They'll
play important roles going forward, but they're not starters. It's easy to get stuck in no man's land - the Corbin era Jazz did it, and the team
is still 1-3 years behind schedule because of it.
Realistically, you can't surpass treadmill team status with one scorer and a bunch of non-scoring role players. Not even Lebron
can save that situation. Exhibit A is Russell Westbrook. Washington fell for it hard with Wall and Beal. Indiana may be faced with it too.
I'm really, really glad the Jazz didn't tank during the losing streak. But Houston seriously exposed the Jazz's flaws, and they need
to be honestly assessed, and corrected. I trust Lindsay completely in this.
