A little concerned about this one. I hope we do a good job and leave our fears in those last away losses

The Jazz need to bring a lot more game than they brought for the Houston bench players. On a good day, this Warriors lineup can really get it going offensively.

Kelly Oubre had a terrible start to the season, but then he averaged an efficient 20.1 ppg on 15.3 attempts for the month of February. Bojan will need to work hard to make sure Kelly doesn't get out ahead of our defense to run on us.

Draymond Green averaged 10.6 apg and 7.5 rebs in February.

Steph Curry is averaging an efficient 29.3 ppg on 20.4 fga.

Wiggins improved his D after leaving the no D Timberwolves.

Go Jazz!

We suck.

Can we bench Niang yet?

This game is why you can’t play Ingles and Niang together.

Bogdanovic HAS to stop dribbling the ball unless he has a CLAER advantage or a open lane.

It's ridiculous how many times he gets stripped, loses the ball, and then we are man down on defense and allow the other team to get a easy bucket.

THIS HAS TO STOP!

That was bad too! He has to stop that. Niang almost shoots the ball whenever he touches, he needs to pass it.

This team is definitely coming back down to earth. They are not playing good ball right now.

Mix of exhaustion and playing their game, there was no blender this game. Also proves my point of why we need an athletic wing defender.

Gobert is so far and away our best player and it's not close. He can't be the only player trying, especially on defense.

Jazz have lost 3 of 4 and definitely look average as of late.

We look tired and it’s not good, if we have a team physical with us we don’t have a player to push back. I really hope we are throwing the kitchen sink at teams for said player.

Wow, been saying this for 2 seasons. Hoped I'm not crazy to see that.

About Niang? Quin has this weird love for scrubs who do not belong in the league, remember Shelvin Mack? Niang is the new Mack.

No; I'm talking about BB dribling problems.
Niang is a Coach problem. I think he can't play any better. He is just maximizing his effort. I'm all for trade, I just don't know what we can trade

Uhg. I am sorry I stayed indoors on a beautiful, sunny, warm spring afternoon to watch this game.

Bogey had a bad turnover game, but his season long tov/game and tov/36min are fine. It would be interesting to see what his tov rate is when he tries to dribble in to the paint, and whether he has made any improvement on that stat over time. He looks shaky dribbling, but my guess is that his shaky dribbling doesn't actually end up in a tov as often as people think.

Overall, I suspect that we could probably benefit from Conley handling the ball more and driving more while Bogey drives a bit less, but I am fine with Bogey driving a few times per game to keep the defense honest.
