[QUOTE]In the regular season, the Clippers only allowed Rodney Hood to get four catch-and-shoot shots in 30 attempts, but in the playoffs, they have allowed him to have at least 25 in six games. This either is because the Jazz are doing something dramatically different or because the Clippers have decided they are okay letting Rodney Hood shoot. Moreover, Rodney has not made a shot in the midrange all series, so when the Clippers run him off the line it hasn

[QUOTE] the new Clippers lineup deserves a lot of credit. They played small for the entire game, and the Jazz's small look didn't handle the quicker Clippers. Austin Rivers looked healthy, playing 34 minutes of good defense on Gordon Hayward, Rodney Hood, and any other player he faced.[/QUOTE]
Maybe it's time for the Jazz to throw a new look like Hayward at the 4 finally? Throw out Exum, Neto and Hill? I thought Neto played well. He needs to be in the mix for sure
[QUOTE]Hood was pretty bad. The most notable problem was 2-10 shooting, and 0-6 3-point shooting. Early in the game, Hood missed good looks, and then late in the game, he tried to take difficult shots to get himself going and missed those too. That's acceptable, and the Jazz have enough faith in Hood regaining his shooting ability to have him keep shooting.
But he also needs to be more of an impact player on the defensive end. The Clippers toasted him on that end of the floor, getting separation on straight line drives, and even baiting him into bad fouls to get to the line.
Hood ended with four points, three rebounds, no assists, one turnover, and a -21 plus-minus in a 24 minute effort.[/QUOTE]
needs to be on the bench when he isn't shooting well not having plays continually run for him
[QUOTE]Getting rid of the unnatural 3-point shooting foul
I hate this call more than any other thing in basketball right now:
Chris Paul, trying to get contact, runs hard into the screen. He makes some sort of indeterminate contact with either DeAndre Jordan or George Hill, and forces up a stupid 3-point shot that's only saved by the whistle that comes.
This is a scourge against the game. It's not basketball.
Chris Paul's not the only one who does this, either. George Hill used a similar move to get shots tonight, and the Rockets had 13 fouls called in their favor on 3-point shooting attempts in their shorter 5-game series. No matter the culprit, the crime needs to be stopped.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. Offensive players going into a defender and the defender being at fault is wrong. They better do something. It's horrible
[QUOTE]Kevin Pelton @kpelton
The NBA won't solve call-seeking behavior until it starts calling fouls based on who created the contact rather than who owns the space.
9:51 PM - 27 Apr 2017[/QUOTE]
get it done. It's beyond ridiculous at this point. Apparently the stars getting more calls will never go away. Yes I'm looking at you Chris Paul. :banghead:

[QUOTE]"He's been so good for our team," Hayward said. "His preparation, his passion. He's always trying to find ways to help me, help the other guys on the team be successful. So detail-oriented. I think he's a huge part of our turnaround from 25 to 30 to 40 to 50 wins. He's been our leader, and we appreciate everything he's done."
Hayward told a story of when he first learned Snyder was going to coach the Jazz moving forward.
"I remember in Chicago, going out to eat when he got hired with my wife and him. We talked about life. We didn't talk about basketball at all. He started building the foundation then, and we've had talks and meals since then, and our relationship has really gotten pretty strong. I think you need a good relationship, coach-player, to take the team to the next level."[/QUOTE]
He's staying?

[QUOTE]So for the ninth straight time, a streak that began in 2001, the Jazz probably will go into the offseason having lost their last home playoff game.[/QUOTE]
a bit early for that isn't it? :wtf:
[QUOTE]Rivers' adjustment for Game 6 was starting his son Austin in a three-guard look. Austin Rivers entered the series in Game 5 after being injured late in the season. He played 34 minutes, far beyond his supposed restriction, and scored 13 points. As Doc Rivers said, "What are we saving him for?"[/QUOTE]
I figured the minute restriction wouldn't matter in a do or die game

[QUOTE] the core of this team lies at the feet of Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gobert, Hood and Derrick Favors. Making the postseason was one thing

[QUOTE]Hayward and Snyder are close as player and coach. And after each game, the two have pored over film, offering mutual feedback, tossing suggestions back and forth.[/QUOTE]
He's staying?
[QUOTE]Snyder shrunk his rotation in Friday's first half, playing seven people big minutes. Raul Neto and Derrick Favors played seven and five minutes, respectively.[/QUOTE]
Neto played well. Would have rather had him in there than Hood

[QUOTE] The Iso Joe element is more like the Al Jefferson days of earlier this decade, when he operated in the low post and the offense often stagnated.[/QUOTE]
don't miss Al Ball! Joe will pass out of double teams too unlike Al
[QUOTE]So Snyder plays along. "For a coach, you need to adapt to how you see the game," he said, "based on situations."[/QUOTE]
Something Jerry wasn't good at and that he had done better than Rivers before last night
[QUOTE]Yet other than the season-opening game at Portland, where Johnson scored 29 points in Hayward's absence, few signs surfaced during the season to suggest he would have this kind of impact in the playoffs. Johnson scored 20-plus points only two other times, while producing shooting nights such as 0 for 4, 0 for 5, 0 for 5, 1 for 7 and 1 for 8.[/QUOTE]
Been doing it since before the break. They got him for the playoffs. They said it then. Someone that can isolate in the playoffs

[QUOTE]Some of the criticism that's out there has been fair relative to maybe our payroll being low, our team being young, us not addressing a couple of issues at the trade deadline, and so I welcome all those questions. I'm eager to jump into analysis. It's a little quick to digest. But we'll do as good a job as possible answering those questions as best we can."[/QUOTE]
So what answers did you give? The team obviously is still shorthanded but you have cap space for the draft!
[QUOTE]It's impossible or irresponsible, then, to witness the progression of the Jazz, who are still a ways from authentic contention, without reflecting back on that day a year ago when Lindsey confessed his shortcomings, said he would analyze them and fix them. While they only partially may be repaired or built at this point

[QUOTE] Since being named general manager in August 2012, Dennis Lindsey has preached progress with patience. But a win in Game 6 of the playoffs can put a lot of that behind him.
No more
[QUOTE]David J. Smith @davidjsmith1232
As @Peter_J_Novak mentions, the Jazz could afford Millsap if Hill goes elsewhere. In that scenario, they could add a lower-cost vet PG.[/QUOTE]
Love to have him back! At the moment I'd trade him for Hill but is Hill the player he was early for the Jazz or the player post toe or somewhere in between?
