This is a must win, imo. With that said, I think we lose by 10.

Grit in transition whenever possible

If Russ's shot would come back we'd be frontrunners for the 4th seed

Team just isn't very good. I don't know that more passing or playing differently matters, they just aren't good enough to beat good teams

It's just at the point now where despite talent disparities almost always being in our favour, the coaching disparity can be so huge it overcomes that and then some. Look at how the Spurs bench played last game and how the Jazz play, they know how to outperform us through gameplanning and execution. If teams just be patient on offence and swing the ball, we'll collapse on D at some point (Particularly when Russ AND Abrines are out there), and they know defensively we're only ever going to iso.

Does miss a shot and get an easy tip in count as a system?

Utah’s offense doesn’t work with ball stoppers like melo.

We start and play every possession like there's 5 seconds left on the shot clock.
