Take Royce off of Ingram. He's getting fried.

I find this game to be wholly unpleasant.

The Jazz are really trying their hardest to lose. Just unbelievable bad plays all around. Not a fun game because of that.

Massive chokes everywhere. WHY THE **** ARE YOU PASSING TO TONY BRADLEY!!!!!!

Rauxcee · Post #47 » by **Rauxcee** » Fri Jan 17, 2020 3:53 am

Really? Going to Bradley at the end of the game?

Super frustrating game.

Good on the Pelicans for capitalizing on our choke job.

OMG...the clown show continues. We do not deserve to win. Did everything humanly possible to lose the game. Pathetic close.

He's got to be one of the worst players in the league that gets minutes. Absolutely awful, and yet he's taking a shot against Derrick Favors with the game on the line. Unbelievably stupid play by Ingles.

Jazz have won a lot in the clutch, but they are expert choke artists as well.

So many games where they choke the lead away. They have really benefited from teams making mistakes and giving them a second chance.

Every player should feel bad about this one. They all had a hand in this loss. Just a complete clown show by our starters. And Bradley sucks.

Well that's enough rage and frustration from me for tonight.

It's as if they extended the game just to show off how badly they can choke. Also, Quin needs to bench Tony Bradley. I don't care how bad Ed Davis or Juwan Morgan will be, there is zero chance Tony Bradley is playable in a playoff series. He has no chance of getting their either. Too dumb and too slow footed.

At least we know TB is terrible. Everyone should feel ashamed at how stupid they played at the end.

It's been too easy lately. We needed a nice, rage inducing game to bring us back down to earth :lol:

I really don't know what the FO can do to improve the 5, other than hope Davis figures it out- which is unlikely.

Those back up minutes kill us. And, if Niang can't hit his shots he isn't any better than Bradley as he'd can't defend or box out.

Not sure the Jazz can even upgrade those 2 spots.

It's true! I see how the Jazz lost and I've reset to my default settings of this team is an average playoff team, that has been lucky to have a very easy schedule and they have a lot of flaws, including mental toughness as they choke. A lot. Last 10 games is fools gold. :lol:

Honestly, I knew a week ago this game was going to be our downfall. Just hate losing because the Jazz beat themselves instead of the opponent beating them.

If Niang isn't hitting shots he shouldn't be on the floor. Morgan is more of a 4 at NBA level and should be getting his minutes if he isn't hitting his shots.

Bogdanovic continues to kill us with his turnovers and is also taking some stupid shots. Most infuriating player on the team.

Our guards need to learn to defend better and stop relying on Gobert to bail them out.

Part of the reason why winning 10 in a row is impressive is because you've avoided a clown show for 10 straight games. But the Jazz were really making for lost time with this one. I can't believe how many bad plays led to that loss.

I bet you could make a good 5 minute video of the Jazz at the end of this game and just play it to circus music. Thats what it felt like watching. Might make it funny instead of rage inducing. It was like a Shakespearean tragedy out there. Or comedy. Either works for what happened tonight.

Honestly this might be the most ridiculous choke job and bad play the Jazz have had all season. The sheer number of mistakes, and number of players making mistakes, for the last 8-10 minutes is quite a feat. It was like lightning in bottle for terrible play. Talk about the team being on the same page and having conectivity- they collectively looked like clowns out there as a unit. What a show of solidarity.

On a positive(?) note, if you squint really hard, the Jazz almost won this game. Multiple times even, despite some of the most ridiculous and idiotic play I've ever seen. That means something. Not sure what that something is, but it's something.

During the Jazz' 15 out of 16 streak, those 15 wins came against teams with a total win-loss record of 231-381 which averages out to each win being against a team that was 10 games under .500. Fools gold is right.

Should've thrown Tucker to the fire instead considering Royce wasn't cutting it. And Jordan could've made plays but he wasn't subbed back in

That back up 5 spot really is a big hole

Lost by six on the road against a team that is better than their record indicates. Would have liked to win, but after 10 wins in a row, you are going to lose one. At least it wasn't an egregious loss to a bad team, hopefully it motivates guys to execute a bit better.
