Mediocre teams will give 110% effort in the meaningless regular season, and then will get exposed hard in Playoffs. Jazz are definitely in this category,

Obvious positives, hopefully LeBen can keep this rollin', I can't see why he wouldn't continue this unless of course he starts missing at the line and becomes less aggressive....but you have to like how Doc is using him in the low post.

Tobias 'screw the haters' Harris did perform like a max guy tonight.

These 2 guys need to play like this all time, but who knows if they will do anything like this again.

Have to say, Seth Green sucked, and Furkan must be doing crack...their sixth man went for 40, ours went for 0

Meanwhile, some teams gives 70% effort in the regular season and then get exposed hard in the playoffs.

That's us

W/o our best player, it was a valiant effort - and a better showing from at least a couple of guys off the bench (Dwight and Matisse). But still too few three-pointers and a garbage showing from Green.

That's better, it means less risk of injury while achieving the same result, sounds about right to me.

i wonder if ben can keep improving his FT numbers. That would be a game changer for him.

On the road to LeBenTen. Top ten player in the NBA trajectory happening quick (the signs have been there from his rookie year as someone mentioned it’s all in between the ears. Last year in a 20 game stretch gave us a real glimpse. Was injured earlier this year too.

LeBenTen cmon baby!!!

Furkan has to be feeling the pressure, contract year and he is getting the chance to show what he has for a new contract. Not only that, we could be using him for trade bait, but right now that's not looking so good.

Problem is, when Shake comes back should we put Furkan out the rotation.....right now, he is playing himself out of our playoff rotation at the moment.

Lol guys i currently trust in our playoff rotation:

Joel
Ben
Tobias

That is, if Tobias can be this consistently good in the playoffs. And that is, if Ben doesn't revert back to all the turnovers and never taking any looks at the rim.

So really, I trust Joel.

Seth disappears far too often. Danny is ancient. Dwight is ancient. Tyrese is too young. Shake seems to have regressed or Doc isn't letting him run the offense. Korkmaz is dead weight. Thybulle is a negative on offense.

Of the 10 most often played guys, I trust 1, maybe 3. Pathetic. And we thought this team was a contender?? Nah...

As a shooter for this team, Furkan is 0-9 in the last 3 games.

Tonight, Joe got one shot, missed it and was immediately pulled. With little from Seth Green, and Furk, doesn't look good for the future.

DCasey91 · Post #275 » by **DCasey91** » Tue Feb 16, 2021 5:04 am

Players that fit with both Embiid & Ben:

1. Savvy pg (Lowry/Dragic/Hill)
2. Savvy sg (Lavine, Oladipo, etc)
3. Any good 3&D that plays 3&D (Covington,Porter, Bridges etc.)

Get both the top 2 spots filled in, the league is in massive trouble.

It’s because the youngsters or everybody else on the team don’t have NBA quality translatable skills. Exposed even more without a guard that knows how to run the team full time when Embiid/Simmons sits.

Prime Dragic would be sexy asf for both of them.

Green and Curry are fine though for what there role is.

ForeverRDjazz · Post #277 » by **ForeverRDjazz** » Tue Feb 16, 2021 5:16 am

Mavs fans where crying they missed Curry this year and don't have enough outside shooting. Maybe you can trade? Jazz have problem getting up when star players are missing and had it not been for Jordan and Royce tonight jazz would've been toast. 20 wins 1 lost last 21 games is numbers only contenders put up! Not pretenders! FYI Lakers will have there hands full this year with Utah.

I dont think it was the right decision to sit out Embiid this game.

We should be more acclimated playing against the top teams with a complete line-up.

People watch these games than the game against Sac, so it also would be better for Biid for his MVP run if he would have played this game.

XtremeDunkz · Post #280 » by **XtremeDunkz** » Tue Feb 16, 2021 5:57 am

Just finished the game.

3 things

Ben needs to do this every game. Like he can.. obviously.. he just doesn't for some reason.

We need bench help

I'm getting to a point where I truly believe the 3 point shot as is, is terribly unbalanced. We played just as well as most teams on offense but just because they shoot more from some arbitrary line that is not difficult for most players anymore they gain a huge advantage.
