they seem to have the same or similar problems that rockets have, from the mouth of a jazz fan(pay attention to the bolded sentence before the last) @basketballholic "biggest concern early this year is that opposing PGs are simply DESTROYING us it’s happening pretty much every game now. Old ass DRose had his career high against us, DSJ killed us, Harden had his way, Holiday and Fox did well, and tonight Conley and Mack killed us despite sucking this year. From my POV, it’s been a mixture of: rubio not able to stay in front of quicker PGs; some lucky ass shots going in from 15 ft out; stupid and unnecessary switches with our big men causing all sorts of trouble. On that last point, if somebody is able to look at video, please look at the last 8 mins or so of the game…there was a possession where Rudy and I think Rubio switched their men (Gasol and Conley) a foot inside the FT line when there was absolutely no need to switch. There was no difference at all in them staying with their men or switching and they switched. They need to stay with their man unless the switch is actually necessary, that was the worst switch I’ve ever seen from this team. Somebody please find video of this, it was really stupid. Really it seems like a lot of guys are just coasting this year. I saw a possession early in the 3rd quarter where Rudy was yelling at somebody ‘talk!! talk!!’ on D, I think it was Favs or Grayson. Then later in the 3rd quarter I saw Rudy on the bench yelling out the switches to our guys. That’s not a good sign; these guys need to be on the same page and stick to the scheme or be gone.? We’ve had 2 flukey losses vs GSW and MIN so I don’t think we’re that bad, but this was a game our pride should have been enough to get us the win. DL might need to make some moves; Favors doesn’t play enough to warrant his contract and Rubio is the single worst PG in the league to pair with Gobert. I like both of those guys, but that’s the truth."
show more respects for the rockets who are on 2 games winning streak while jazz are on a 3 games losing streak
perhaps that's a subtle (or not so subtle) pointer to your brain not functioning at the level you think it does I thought that was sarcasm talking about jazz and rockets being so bad that it looks like they compete who will be the worst and all that mike has to do to win is to throw in MCW lol
hahha jazz fans calling for rubios head look at that nickname how come noone come up with it before "bricky has to go, im sorry shooting and spacing is just too important for us to drag this guy up and down the floor every night. The rules favor ball handlers tremendously, that’s why almost every team has at least one great guard. We can’t have our PG be an offensive liability when he should be very good offensively at the least. We have no spacing at all. The trio of death (Bricky/Rudy/Favors) is rearing its’ ugly head even worse than last year and it’s as plain as day. The only starters who are a threat to score from beyond a few feet are Ingles and Mitchell, so defenses just play those guys tight or swarm Rudy on dives and dare Rubio to shoot. It’s inexcusable for him to go 1/10 when he doesn’t even get defended…he should be going 8/10 or better in those situations. Let him play for Barcelona or something, it’s clear the modern NBA has passed him by. We’re trying to play a 90’s offense in this league and the math just doesn’t work out in our favor. We need shooting at the 1 and 4, it’ll open everything up."
I was just watching NBAtv and they said "the Jazz just lost by 50 points to the Mavericks." I did a damn triple-take. With Mitchell and Gobert playing. How is that even possible? There's no recovering from a loss like that.
50 points was the worst loss in their franchise history. I don't know if there ever was a team that got blown out by 50 points by a non-playoff team and still made the playoffs.
Now they beat the celtics who themselves struggle this year despite being contenders rockets playing the best basketball right now
