Jazz have a lot of good shooters. And the attention gobert gets at the basket makes it hard to double.

dude with Stotts as coach we will never be able to defend the 3, the guy is clueless

The shot quality is basically the same. One team, however, has a 61% efg and the other has a 42%. How many 3s and putbackes did Jazz get off of deflections that rolled to them or long rebounds? The thing went downhill when Damon missed that backdoor layup.

Want to have a friendly bet regarding contested three being made.

Stotts is somehow the most underachieving and overachieving coach I’ve ever witnessed. This team will never play defense, I swear

Blazers on pace to lose this game by 40, at least this might wake the team up.

Last year regarding 3pt attempts, but not preceding seasons. Preventing makes have been in the bottom half. But now I am talking about taking and making CONTESTED 3s. The first half the Jazz probably had no more easy 3s. Difference they made them.

He seemed so comfortable in the bubble it seems like he is trying to play himself back into the starting lineup.

:banghead:

He just can't grasp why he is coming off the bench if it's not to at least put up 20+ shots a game.

The rim has not been kind to Gary in those completely wide open situations so far this December.

Well hopefully last season wasn't a fluke, I don't think it was the ball looks extremely good coming out of his hands in most situations.

I always thought stotts was one of the best coaches in the nba.

On a positive note both Blazers centers are doing fairly well.

Epicurus · Post #58 » by **Epicurus** » Thu Dec 24, 2020 5:07 am

On a negative note, what is Covington adding?

The chemistry is non existent. I know it takes time to develop but they don't look cohesive at all.

Usually our teams have bonded and formed quickly, but we do have a lot of new pieces this year so maybe it will take more time. Covid might be making it harder to Lillard usually gets the team together in a nice locale, before the season begins to help strengthen bonds that might not have been possible here.
