Good video. Utah needs to find the right balance between offense and defense. They were a defensive-oriented team a few years ago when they played Favors and Gobert together. They had guys like Rubio, Hayward, and Hill on the perimeter. Now they're offensive-oriented.

Finding the balance is the key.

Just depends on the matchup. He could have had a huge impact vs the suns under some circumstances. Heat too.

a few people get it.

The problem was this roster was trying to balance out the shit show of Rubio and Favors spotting up for 3 in the corners. They went all in on offense and led by best player in franchise history they were awful on that end as well as the other. Even worse than Rubio and Favors in the corner. :cry:

Seems obvious that the coach has to go but apparently is safe unless he chooses to leave.

I don't know.


The LEBRON metric really showed his flaws in the playoffs

We still have yet to see toody lead his team to the conference finals. Otherwise, he's still the baguette biyombo of the west who may be the best player to garner a g league ring out there.

except for last year he wasn't favored to go the conference finals. Missing their 2nd best player in that series
