Game 4: Utah Jazz (1-2) @ San Antonio Spurs (2-1)

[babyjax13]

With our offense running through Jefferson our assist numbers will be low. Although Jefferson did have a much better game last night but the rest of the team didn't follow suit. I feel our offense runs more smoothly when Gordon is at the 2 and handles the ball more. I think Corbin will have to eventually start Howard at the 3 with Hayward moving to the 2.

Agreed.

only 11 assist yesterday.... I don't remember any jazz game with that low of total assists.

We couldn't make any open shots, that's going to drag down anyone's assists numbers......

[nguyenbalong]

our offense is one guy with the ball one waiting for the pass and the other three standing around.

[red4hf]

Our PGs are too often calling their own number first, before looking to set up a play.......

The only pure PG on the roster is Tinsley...... Maybe we should start him, he couldn't possibly do any worse at the moment than Harris.......

Haven't watched the game yet, but Al Jefferson had 19 FG attempts and one FT attempt. Also had zero assists (maybe because everyone shot poorly?).

That is an unacceptable ratio of FGA/FTA.

Did you watch the game?

I can remember at least 3 times that he clearly faked his defender in he air, initiated contact and got NO CALL!!! That included "no names" like Blair and Splitter, so it's not like it was the refs protecting Duncan either. Also, he passed many times out of double teams and IMO moved the ball preatty well. It's not his fault he has to start games with a turd playing SG. And he had 2 blocks and 11 boards. So, what's the deal?

[nguyenbalong]

I think the new emphasis on that is the offense cant initiate contact by jumping into a defender to draw the foul. So you have to play like the old school centers and PF use to attack hard at the rim. I hate it when Al does his fakes it waste too much time and allows help defenders to set. Big guys need to catch the ball and do something right away forcing the defender to foul or draw multiple defenders and then kick it out to your guards. Everyone needs to constantly move on the flex to make it work I see three guys always hanging out at the three line so its always two on 5 on the offense. Wing players aren't cutting, bigs aren't setting hard screens and guards aren't looking to create plays. I have Yet to see a solid Pick and roll. The only time we ever see a decent play is when Hayward penetrates and dishes to the bigs. Everyone needs to stop being selfish look for the open man. Share the ball attack the hoop

[Soul Patch]

Hayward and Favors have a good pick and roll. Aside from that I haven't seen a decent one either. Favors and Al set pretty bad screens and I don't think Miles will ever learn how to run his guy off of one. One thing I've noticed, as much as it looks like Harris doesn't care he's setting really good screens down in the paint, usually for Hayward.

"Haven't" gives the impression that it will get done eventually.

"Didn't" would just say no.
