What are you watching? If there's one pairing that has not been able to defend the PnR, it's Russ-Adams.

i am watching favors set the initial screen then get a back screen from ingles every play and melo sort of being lost. favors has either then beat him into the paint or been open for a three.

Now push, fools! We've played horribly and yet are still in this. No more **** around.

Game is definitely closer than our play would imply.
Effort is there, so are ill advised shots.

I would like it if Melo starts boxing out.

Push push push!

did we go on 13-0 run when favors left the game?

Post #369 » by **bondom34** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 1:54 am

Uh...I changed channels for a minute and when I saw the score didn't' want to jinx it but was that like a 20-0 run?

No. It was only a 12-0 run with Favors on the bench. :lol:

The rotations are off. He's actually rotating correctly, and no one is there to pick up his man for the rebound or the pass. They need to figure that play out.

Because Melo hits timely, momentum shifting baskets. :rock:

Turnovers. PG tries to do too much ball handling where Melo just takes bad shots.

If I'm Utah I play Favors the entire 4th.

Because they work from the inside out with Melo. They don't just run offense with poor offensive players like with George, they play through a scorer out of the paint and he gets off shots or shifts defense to get others shots.

Ffs defend the **** PnR this is embarrassing

i'm going to chuckle out loud re-reading all the articles about billy donovan playing 5D chess in game one when he didn't play the paul george bench.
