Insane that we’re leading. We’ve had exactly two players show up tonight, DLo and Juancho. Everyone else has been beyond bad on the offensive end.

Defensively I can’t tell if we’re improving a bit or the Jazz are just missing a lot of jumpers. I mean the latter.

It's us so probably not but the Jazz are in big trouble right now. They should be up huge, got 9 turnovers, wolves have been abysmal shooting in the first, KAT is in foul trouble, right now this is a close game and it shouldn't be. For some reason, we give them problems. DLO is showing why he has that max contract.

I’m curious about opponents percentage at end of quarter (final possession/shot). It seems that we are constantly giving up a 3 to end the quarter. It is frustrating. And what is ant doing? 1-5 from 3, 1-7 overall. Attempted 2 shots at the rim and I believe they both came on one play with a misses put back attempts. He needs to play better and with more urgency.

Wolves starters shoot 4-25 while the team had 10 turnovers and gave up 8 offensive rebounds. There is no way we should have a lead going into half-time.

A 20 point swing from the 18 point lead. Utah must view us as a bad penny. Just cannot make us go away.

Man D'Lo is killing it in the 6th man role,the role he should have been and should be for the rest of his career.Only issue now is paying $30M a year for a 6th man,would love him so much more if he was like $10M or so less a year.Also makes Beasley a lot more expendable.

Combination of both. We are playing better defense my guess is the team for some reason, understands the gameplan against the Jazz better than most teams, something about their style must be easier for us to grasp and we are playing to the plan.

Jazz have also missed several good looks, they are a bit snake bitten right now.

I disagree, of course, he's a great 6th man, because he's a starting-caliber player, you take any good starter and they will be a ridiculous 6th man. I think Dllo can still be good as a starter, the problem is we don;t have enough good role players/shooters that can perform if he is starting.

I'm curious to see Finch's half-time adjustments. The Jazz game plan is clear, they are packing the paint and letting everyone other than Towns shoot. That approach has completely crippled the offense from the starters.

I still trust good offensive talent to beat good defensive talent most of the time.

Timberwolves in 4.

Lucky we're not facing them in the playoffs.

Ant needs to be freaking pulled. No reason to shoot 7 3’s to 2 2’s. God damn. Especially when you are not feeling your shot. Dude is irritating.

Post #36 » by **Calinks** » Tue Apr 27, 2021 1:26 am

Edwards has to start attacking, he is bailing the Jazz out with these threes.

Ant trying to get going but can't make a thing. Get to the basket young man.

Post #38 » by **Calinks** » Tue Apr 27, 2021 1:31 am

We got free real estate in the Jazz's heads.

wolves_89 · Post #39 » by **wolves_89** » Tue Apr 27, 2021 1:35 am

Ant should never, ever have more 3pt attempts than shots in the paint. That is a pretty clear recipe for failure.

Jaden with two fantastic defensive possessions but he goofed on the fake.
