[QUOTE][B]Jordan Clarkson:[/B] Jordan Clarkson was arguably the Jazz’s least effective player and still added 16 points. He shot just 7-20 from the floor but added six rebounds and five assists while playing a team-high 34 minutes.
[/QUOTE]
there's no argument. team high in minutes. COTY!
[QUOTE][B]Trent Forrest: [/B]Trent Forrest continues to establish himself as a legitimate NBA player in his rookie season. The guard is already an adequate defender in his first season, a skill that will undoubtedly grow with his size and athleticism. More impressively his poise under pressure continues to improve on the offensive end where he’s comfortable probing the defense and taking open shots.
[/QUOTE]
I'd say he's far from legitimate. If he's able to hit down open shots consistently he probably is. can't see playing him over anyone but Hughes and maybe Thomas right now though. Not sure he's comfortable taking open shots. Before the last 3 games or so he didn't want to shoot. They've obviously told him he has to if open
[QUOTE][B]Miye Oni: [/B]After losing his role as the Jazz 10th man in recent weeks to either Forrest or Ersan Ilyasova, Miye Oni brought excellent hustle in 14 total minutes. The guard only recorded one rebound and one steal during his time on the floor, but his energy allowed Quin Snyder to rest Joe Ingles and Royce O’Neale for extra minutes in the first half.
[/QUOTE]
He didn't lose his 10th man spot when only 1 guy is hurt though. It's only if more than 1 guy is out. Makes perfect sense! :facepalm
[QUOTE]Over the last four games without either All-Star guard, Bogdanovic and Clarkson are the only players to average more than 30 minutes per game. Bogdanovic has averaged just 32.1 minutes in Conley and Mitchell’s absence while Clarkson is at 30.2.
[/QUOTE]
I think that is because COTY is convinced he needs their scoring not because he wants to rest others
[QUOTE]While the Jazz are 4-2 against the Lakers and Mavericks this year, both teams are likely to offer a greater challenge in the playoffs. On the other hand, the Jazz are 8-1 this season against the four teams currently slotted to wind up in the play-in tournament, with games left to play against San Antonio, Golden State, and Portland.

[QUOTE]Trent Forrest was again afforded quite a bit of run with Conley and Mitchell out, and he again made the most of his time. Like a lot of players who are trying to break into regular NBA rotations, he’s a hungry player and makes a lot of hustle plays. What’s even better is that a lot of the hustle plays he makes are on the defensive end and hitting the glass. That’s the type of thing that if done consistently, is really noticed by NBA coaches. That’s why O’Neale has a starting role on the Jazz. Forrest played 21 minutes, and had nine points, four rebounds and a steal but for a second straight game his impact was greater than what the box score showed.
[/QUOTE]
Royce improved his 3 point shot quickly. wouldn't be starting otherwise
[QUOTE]Jordan Clarkson was shooting 37% from 3-point range before the All-Star break. Since then he’s shooting 30% from 3, including a 2-of-10 outing against the Spurs. In particular I think that his shot selection is getting a little iffy. I know that making quick decisions is something the Jazz want but it seems like sometimes he either takes too long or acts too quickly and there’s not a middle ground.
[/QUOTE]
looks like the same shot selection to me he just isn't making everything like earlier in the year. Didn't like it then and don't like it now
[QUOTE]Kind of on the other end of the spectrum, Joe Ingles has been the Jazz’s best 3-point shooter since the All-Star break, shooting 48.1% heading into Monday night’s game. But he struggled from deep, hitting just 2-of-7. That’s not what was bad, though. He and head coach Quin Snyder have talked recently about his ability to move past makes, but on Monday he did not seem like he could move past them and threw his arms into the air when he finally hit one. Then later he took a really weird early shot clock 3 from way too deep that he was very short on. He just seemed out of sorts.
[/QUOTE]
The difference is guys like Ingles, O'Neale and Conley can miss shots and they aren't killing you like Clarkson, Bojan and Mitchell

[QUOTE]Interestingly, the Jazz are nearly unbeatable in games where Niang makes three or more from downtown, with 12 wins in those 13 games. (Two such games occurred this last week, including the loss.) That’s especially surprising since games where Niang plays a bigger role as a possession user are by definition almost always games where Utah is missing a key player. He’s really helped them keep the rotation afloat with his shot-making and improved defense.
[/QUOTE]
certainly better than Clarkson and Bojan
[QUOTE]That’s the difference between Utah’s first-half defensive rating against Toronto on Saturday (121.7) and their second-half defense (78.4). It’s equal parts impressive that they were able to clamp down like that when they wanted to AND frustrating just how easy the Raptors had it for 24 minutes. Rudy Gobert obviously locked the paint down in the second half, but it was actually lineups featuring Derrick Favors (61.5 2nd half DRtg) and Ersan Ilyasova (50.0) that were the stingiest.
[/QUOTE]
Ersan needs to play
[QUOTE][B]Jazz 106, Raptors 102: Bojan Bogdanovic.[/B] Here’s a crazy stat: in the 31 Jazz possessions that ended with Bogey shooting, going to the line, turning the ball over or assisting a teammate, the Jazz’s ORtg was 141.9. On the other 65 possessions, it was 95.4. The forward absolutely carried the Jazz offense with his aggressiveness and ability to bend the defense. He had a season high in points as part of a nice 34-4-4 line. Also deserving mention: Gobert keyed a great defensive turnaround and also tipped in what felt like the clinching points. Trent Forrest had a nice stretch in the second half, and Joe Ingles directed things with nine assists to go with 15 timely points.

Rudy won that won. Amazing how you do your best to give it to anyone but Rudy

[QUOTE]Rubio was significantly better than Conley at every major part of basketball except for outside shooting, so the only reasonable reason to give up so much for the switch is because of Conley’s outside shooting. The flip side of that is that Rubio was [I]chased out of town because of his poor outside shooting.[/I]
[I]Then, Conley came on over and shot the ball just as poorly as Rubio, or very close to it.[/I]
[I]My argument was that it was a bad decision to "upgrade" from Rubio to Conley because Conley was a significantly worse player for twice the price. I felt the need to argue that point because many dunkers were claiming that Conley was playing better than Rubio had even though nearly every traditional and advanced stat said otherwise.[/I]
[I]But claiming (and supporting) that Rubio was playing better than Conley two seasons ago is very different than saying that I wanted them to bring back Rubio. In fact, I very explicitly stated on more than one occasion that it was probably a good decision to move on from Rubio, but a poor decision to trade for Conley.[/I]

[QUOTE]What I’m not sure about is that they need to have a traditional point guard. The team’s offense is run in a way that four players on the court can initiate the offense.
As good as Conley has been this season, the Jazz probably don’t need a player like him. Certainly not three of them. I like Neto, but the Jazz would never need him. I would rather have a player who is longer, bigger, and younger.
If Conley is gone next season, they can give DM the title of "PG" and have Jingles be the "PG" off the bench, if that title is even necessary.

yep which is why it makes little sense for Forrest to be playing over Oni, Brantley, Morgan, Ersan and probably Thomas(he's new so that one might be argued). Conley is their 2nd best player so he is needed more than anyone but Gobert. If he's gone next year they won't be as good

Re: 2020-21 Regular season- The tax team
What baffles Ingles is true shooting percentage, a measure of shooting efficiency that takes into account 2-point field goals, 3-point field goals and free throws. “Screw it,” Ingles says. “Let me just keep shooting and see if it keeps going in.” It has. In fact, Ingles is in extraordinarily rare air. [URL="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31389506/utah-jazz-wing-joe-ingles-no-business-leading-nba-one-stat"]Ingles’ NBA-best .692 true shooting percentage this season — a blend of shooting 50.3% from the floor, 46.9% from 3-point range and 84.0% from the free throw line — would rank ninth in league history[/URL].

Like Korver with that 60-win team, Ingles is both a beneficiary of a ball-moving system and a critical cog who helps keep it humming. Utah’s 33-year-old non-dunking wing sits atop a statistical category normally reserved for rim-running big men, the result of a steady development of counters to opponents’ scouting reports and constant tinkering of an expanding tool set.

[QUOTE]I’m thinking about next season when we likely don’t have Conley back. Maybe instead of trying to replace him with another traditional PG, we look at replacing him with a wing who can pass and initiate a pick n roll.

[QUOTE] I DO think it’s good that Quin is opening up his rotations — esp since having different looks in the playoffs will be helpful.
BUT, and to be fair to Quin, when he was using his TIGHT 9-man rotation, we were far-and-away the best team in the league, and based on advanced numbers we were one of the best teams in the past 10 years. So…if it ain’t broke…

[QUOTE]First, the offense. The Jazz did a really nice job tonight in creating shots for one another, running the offense with precision and without hiccups. This isn’t quite a 3-man weave play, but it’s almost the same idea: a lot of passes in short succession, distracting the defense from the quick pick-and-roll, with seamless continuity between every part of the action.
[/QUOTE]
No Clarkson, Bojan or Mitchell. Surprising! :lol
[QUOTE]• I think the Jazz shouldn’t really be considered favorites against the Nuggets on Friday. The Nuggets are playing their best basketball right now, and the Jazz will still be missing Donovan Mitchell and almost certainly Mike Conley. It will be very hard for them to score against the Nuggets, in my opinion.
[/QUOTE]
Gordon and Mcgee have made Denver a good defensive team? The ball will certainly move more without Mitchell and the D will be better
[QUOTE]• Both teams have a game in Golden State — it will be very interesting to see how the Jazz guard Steph Curry without their guards.

[QUOTE]Rudy Gobert is perhaps the most underrated player today. In a hyperscoring NBA world where there have never been so many players with 20 or more points per game, Gobert with his 2.16 meters (7ft 1) and Pterodactyl-like wing-span of 2.36 meters (7ft 9) has only 14.4 points per game. But does that even matter at all? Because Gobert's influence on the Jazz' defense and offense can be seen in some "unconventional" statistics that are simply impressive.
[/QUOTE]
someone gets it
[QUOTE]The last column is the most interesting, when Gobert is off the floor opponents shoot 6% more often from Restricted Area! This is by far the largest number of all these players. In addition to affecting the number of shots from RA, he is one of the best in terms of reducing the effectiveness of opponents' shots.

[QUOTE]The New York Knicks were a team without any expectations before the 2020-21 season started. They’ve been that team for a long time. In fact, they haven’t been in the playoffs since the 2012-13 season. This season, head coach Tom Thibodeau took what was a 21-win team last year and made it a playoff contender with a winning record despite not having any real star power.
[/QUOTE]
Randle is a star and they are in the east. All you need
[QUOTE]It also seems likely that Mitchell will make his first All-NBA team, but it will probably be close. Six guards will be selected to All-NBA teams, two on each of the three teams, and that’s a very small field. Golden State’s Stephen Curry, Dallas’ Luka Doncic, Portland’s Damian Lillard, Phoenix’s Chris Paul, Phoenix’s Devin Booker and Mitchell seem to be largely the consensus for guards to make the All-NBA teams.
[/QUOTE]
horrible
[QUOTE]Outside of Gobert there are going to be some people that will argue that the Jazz’s Conley and Royce O’Neale deserve some recognition by making an All-Defensive team, but seeing as there are only two All-Defense teams (compared to the three All-NBA teams), it will be a bit of a long shot to expect three players from a single team taking three of the 10 spots.

[QUOTE]The biggest thing right now is making sure that everyone is healthy heading into the playoffs in two weeks. That’s why we’ve seen the Jazz be very cautious bringing Donovan Mitchell back into the lineup with his ankle injury, and continuing to rest Mike Conley and others in back-to-back and other scenarios. So much of success in the playoffs depends on player health, especially star player health. The Jazz need Don and Mike 100%, along with the rest of the crew if they are going to make a run at this thing.
[/QUOTE]
need Conley for sure
[QUOTE][h=4]Mitchell and Conley[/h]
I have a different perspective on when Mitchell and Conley should return. I wouldn’t mind seeing them sit out the rest of the regular season and then get in game shape against their first round opponent who the Jazz should beat even if Mitchell and Conley aren’t at the top of their game. That would give them 4-7 games to get their game legs under them and still allow them to enter the second round pretty fresh.

last team you want to face under any circumstance

4 or 5 games at most

[QUOTE]Q: With Trent Forrest emerging, have we seen the last of Miye Oni? — @Clintonite33
A: The short answer is that we have not seen the last of Miye Oni despite the fact that Trent Forrest is playing well.
Want the longer answer? With Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley sidelined recently Quin Snyder has been experimenting a little with the rotation, but if I’m being completely honest, none of it really matters that much. It’s very easy to slide Miye Oni into a nine or 10-man rotation when one player is missing but when the two lead ball handlers on the team are watching from the sideline, more Oni isn’t going to cut it. Forrest is just a little bit better of a point guard and creator than Oni is, just as Oni is a better shooter and rebounder. But once Mitchell and Conley are back, Oni and Forrest won’t be playing.
If we were talking about what’s going to happen in the offseason and which player might have a better chance of sticking around, I’d give them both about the same probability of coming back in the exact same roles they have this year. They are young developing players who are just filling in before the real players come back. That might be a little harsh, but it’s true.

sadly it was one of his better shooting nights :facepalm
[QUOTE]His defense late was good enough that the Jazz could afford to end the game with Clarkson out on the floor instead of O’Neale. The Jazz weren’t getting out-rebounded, and were getting stops with Clarkson on the floor, so why not keep him out there as an extra offensive threat?

[QUOTE]You can say all you want about Jordan Clarkson having inefficient nights but when it’s a 3-point game with less than a minute to play and he hits a deep pull-up 3, you can’t tell me that’s not a guy you’d want on your team. He got hot in the first quarter and then cooled off for most of the game, missing many that he normally would make. But Clarkson is nothing if not confident and he kept shooting, scoring seven of his 21 points in the fourth quarter — and they were very timely, important buckets. He also had eight assists, five rebounds and came up with two steals.
[/QUOTE]
He's not a guy I want on my team. It's not a 3 point game if he's not 6-20 :cry:
[QUOTE]The Jazz struggled on the defensive end early on. There were just a ton of miscommunications and guys missing rotations, letting the Nuggets get an early lead that the Jazz had to fight against. The Jazz ended up turning it up and playing a lot better, doing well on switches, but as we get closer to the playoffs you have to start thinking about what would happen in a postseason game. The Jazz can’t take a whole quarter in the playoffs to figure a team out defensively or to get into their own defensive rhythm — they have to be ready out of the gate.

been rare that they've played 48 minutes of D this year which says a lot about the current NBA since they are one of the top defensive teams despite their inconsistency at that end

happened multiple times and another reason why Forrest shouldn't be in the game. Oni, Brantley, Ersan, Morgan and Thomas can hit shots
[QUOTE]The biggest loser of this game was not the Denver Nuggets, it was ESPN. The game was originally scheduled to be played on national television, but when LeBron James came back from missing 20 consecutive games the scheduling brass decided that Portland vs. Lakers was a better game to show. Well, James is out again, didn’t play on Friday and the Nuggets-Jazz game was one of the best of the season. It was an incredible game, it had the intensity of a playoff game, it had great play from both teams and it was an excellent showing from two of the Western Conference’s playoff teams. And less people were able to see it. ESPN chose wrong.

[/QUOTE]
It actually is Oni's game for anyone that watched the Stars. Brantley even more so. The difference is they can also hit a shot
[QUOTE]he had three wide-open corner threes in the first half which he missed. Those are tough minutes to recover from. Overall though, he is figuring some stuff out. Has to hit open corner threes.
-I don’t know if it’s a one-game bias or I’m leaning into what I know about Aaron Gordon from his Orlando days, but I’d rather him be on the court than Gary Harris. He’s an okay defender, but can’t shoot for shit. The difference between him and Harris which I think is big is that GH would knock down shots from time to time and was quick enough to knife the defense and get to the rim to collapse the d into the paint. Gordon does none of those things. He’s just really meh. Every single game I’ve watched of Denver’s since he got traded there, the announcers have said, "Gotta get an easy one for him to get going," and he never gets going. He’s also not as good as a defender as Gary Harris says the eye test.
-The Jokic/MPJ pairing is going to be top-3 in the league for the next 5+ years. Once MPJ knows how to not shoot bad shots or maybe learns what a bad shot is and once he isn’t a chauffeur for ball-handlers to waltz to the rim on defense, he’s might be a top-20-ish player. I love his game so much.
-Mike and Donovan’s injuries could be one of those "well-timed" ones. Bogie has found his rhythm getting to the rim and from deep. 47 is pretty good.
-Denver was absolutely obsessed with not letting Gobert dunk the ball. Led to open threes all game. If Denver and Utah meet in the playoffs and this is Malone’s strategy, we could blow the f-ing doors off of them.
-QS should be fined for double-teaming Jokic in the post. He’s such a phenomenal passer that he’s gonna find the open three-point shooter every single time. I don’t mind if dudes dig, but Austin Rivers just kinda stood there and knocked down open threes because Q sends unnecessary help. Jokic is gonna burn Gobert sometimes because he’s Jokic. But I’d rather Jokic go off than let him get his teammates going too.
Great win. Key win for the #1 seed.
