[QUOTE]After sweeping their last homestand of the season, the Jazz now finish the year playing three of their final four games on the road. Unless the Jazz are deadset on earning the top seed in the West, Quin Snyder could use the opportunity to find significant rest for most of his starters.
[/QUOTE]
going to get plenty of rest waiting for their opponent in the play in

[QUOTE]Jordan Clarkson added 21 points off the bench, while Bojan Bogdanovic poured in 20 points. Rudy Gobert recorded a double-double with 13 points and 14 rebounds to go with three blocks.
[/QUOTE]
Clarkson and Bojan sucked but let's mention them first!
[QUOTE]The third quarter was solid for the Jazz as they outscored the Rockets 30-23 and took a 96-83 lead going into the fourth quarter. Utah led by as much as 21 points but Houston didn’t want to throw in the towel.
[/QUOTE]
solid? Only good quarter they had

[QUOTE]What was more of a surprise: Rudy Gobert, Bojan Bogdanovic, Joe Ingles and Royce O'Neale were all still in the game at the end.
[/QUOTE]
not too familiar with COTY eh?
[url]https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2021/05/08/triple-team-against-bad/[/url]
[QUOTE]Even though this was just one game out of 72, and the outcome was virtually certain from the word go, Snyder wanted to get the most out of it. And I think that explains a lot about how the Jazz find themselves where they are after years of his leadership.
[/QUOTE]
hardly certain. They are where they are because of Gobert. Snyder wouldn't have a job without him
[QUOTE]But I did think that Snyder had a good point in the postgame presser, too: because of the unique play-in schedule this year, the Jazz will have their time to rest. Their last game is May 16, and they’ll play their first playoff game on either May 22 or more likely May 23, which means either five or six full days off. So their tiredness now won’t impact them in the playoffs, just so long as it doesn’t cause an injury in the next four games. So that’s good!
[/QUOTE]
do you want to rest guys with that much of a break?
[QUOTE]“I’m a a good individual. I usually hold my emotions in, and I just happened to lose my cool. That’s not who I am or I aspire to be,” Niang began. “Something happened. I thought he had brushed me in the face on purpose. So I told him that he was too late: he wasn’t going to get to my shot anyway. And (referee) Marc Davis decided that I was worthy of a technical.”
[/QUOTE]
Right! More like Ingles every day

[QUOTE]Ingles came to the NBA trying to make the Clippers 15-man roster in 2014, but lost out on the last roster spot to Jared Cunningham (ouch, Clipper Fans). As Ingles was packing his bags and getting ready to fly back out to Europe, Utah Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey called him and signed Ingles to a 10-day contract. Ingles came to Utah, impressed with his interesting mix of skills, and eventually earned himself a permanent spot on the roster. An incredible success story – Ingles did not log his first minute in the NBA until he was 27 years old.
[/QUOTE]
picked off waivers. no 10 day contracts at the beginning of year :facepalm
[QUOTE]His first season with the Utah Jazz was a true growing period for Ingles. He earned significant playing time because of his ability to handle, pass and play defense. However, he was not seen as much of a threat from beyond the arc. That season Ingles attempted 2.5 3’s a game and only shot 35 percent.

[QUOTE]Clarkson played one of his worst games of the season through the first three quarters of the game, scoring 17 points on 8-20 shooting including just 1-9 from the three-point line.
[/QUOTE]
probably one of his better games sadly
[QUOTE]Without their two lead guards, the Jazz simply struggle to create looks off the dribble. When teams slow down Rudy Gobert in the pick and roll, as the Warriors did with their switch-heavy defense, the number of ways the Jazz can generate offense dips significantly.
[/QUOTE]
bojan isn't a guard he only plays small like one
[QUOTE]Royce O’Neale, Miye Oni, and Derrick Favors don’t create shots for themselves. Trent Forrest can get to the rim, but when defenders sag off of him, he’s relegated to passing to looking to others to score.
[/QUOTE]
we saw a beautiful pick and roll by o'neale last nite. let's see more of that. forrest shouldn't be in there
[QUOTE]Gobert can score in the pick and roll but was held to just six shots in 30 minutes as the Warriors prevented him from getting the ball. While Gobert is the most efficient scorer in the NBA, he’s reliant on
[/QUOTE]
more clarkson and bojan kept the ball away form him
[QUOTE]That leaves the Jazz to be reliant on Clarkson to carry the offensive burden. Sometimes, that results in the guard scoring 17 points on 8-20 shooting over 24 minutes, and others, he scores 24 points on 13 shots in 11 minutes. Either way, he needs to continue to shoot as long as Mitchell and Conley miss games.
[/QUOTE]
he's going to continue to shoot regardless.needs to be benched

[QUOTE]If it comes down to these two teams, [URL="https://www.nba.com/standings"]which it very well could[/URL], I think there are definitely reasons to look at the Los Angeles Lakers as a favorable matchup, but I think in the end the Jazz would prefer playing Golden State.
[/QUOTE]
lakers are the last team they want to play. horrible matchup for them
[QUOTE]I think the Jazz also have the tools to beat the Lakers, but at this point there’s really no telling what version of Anthony Davis and LeBron James the Lakers are going to have in the first round, or if they’ll be able to play both of them. Injuries have plagued the defending champions’ two biggest stars and if you were going to tell me with certainty that they would be without one of those players in the first round, this would be a different conversation. But at this point, I wouldn’t want to bet against James, especially if he ends up coming into the first round healthy and well-rested.
[/QUOTE]
no mention of the size disadvantage
[QUOTE]Sure, you’d love to see the L.A. teams knocked out before you have to face them and the Mavericks or Blazers would probably be easier to beat than some of the others listed, but there are not going to be easy outs in this postseason. The best thing to do is get the No. 1 seed, keep home-court advantage, and then play the cards as they are dealt.
[/QUOTE]
can beat the anyone but the lakers. could beat them too if the coach played ersan/morgan/Brantley but he won't
[QUOTE]Miye Oni is on a nonguaranteed contract through next season, but he’s already on the books so that’s not where the Jazz would have to make any tough decisions. You could sign Trent Forrest to a second two-way deal, and you can probably get Jarrell Brantley to stay on a minimum nonguaranteed deal like Oni.
[/QUOTE]
Brantley would be stupid to stay unless he has no other offer which I assume was the case this year. Forrest could get a regular contract from someone else. Ideally Bojan, Clarkson, Favors and Hughes are moved and they have some flexibilty
[QUOTE]Conley and Georges Niang are unrestricted free agents this offseason but the Jazz do have their rights so they can go over the cap to keep them. But those are the two deals that will require some negotiating. There’s no reason right now to think Niang and Conley don’t want to be here, but in order to stay somewhat flexible, or if there is another addition the Jazz want to go after, they’re going to want to have both players back on somewhat friendly deals. If either player is offered something bigger and better by another team, that could start to make decisions a little tough.
[/QUOTE]
Niang's probably gone sadly but Conley should be back if it means getting rid of everyone not named Gobert

[QUOTE]On the downside, Marks noted that Mike Conley will be a free agent this summer and Utah is “right at the luxury tax threshold.”

[QUOTE]It was the thing that every Jazz fan said in the playoffs last year. If only we had Bojan Bogdanovic. The series with the Denver Nuggets was a tough one and, even without Bojan Bogdanovic, Donovan Mitchell was almost able to take the [URL="https://www.slcdunk.com/"]Utah Jazz[/URL] to the next round all by himself.
[/QUOTE]
offense wasn't their downfall in that series so I don't see how Bojan makes them better
[QUOTE]As brilliant as Mitchell was was in Game 1, it’s hard not to think about the 8-second backcourt violation that turned the ball over to the Nuggets at a crucial point in the game. Or Mike Conley missing Game 1 and 2 for the birth of his child. Those are things that could have possibly shifted things but it’s Game 7 where the Jazz truly missed their X-factor in Bojan Bogdanovic.
[/QUOTE]
play D or STFU
[QUOTE]It’s weird to think that a team that has in the #1 seed is being overlooked, but that’s definitely the case with the Utah. Like I mentioned before, the Jazz have been playing without Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley for 7 games now. In that span they’ve gone 5-2 behind electric play by Bojan Bogdanovic and Rudy Gobert’s DPOY level defense. The Jazz have been without Donovan Mitchell for 13 games and still have a winning record in that span. Those weren’t easy wins either, that included a nice win against the Jokic-led Denver Nuggets where Bogdanovic scored a career-high 48 points.

[QUOTE]So there you have it. Despite sitting at 6th (now 7th) in the West, Jazz fans are still most worried about seeing the Lakers in the playoffs. LA has not looked good lately. Even when LeBron James and Anthony Davis were both playing, they went 1-2 and looked broken. But this is LeBron James we are talking about. The defending champs. And the playoffs are coming. So I can certainly understand why they might still be considered the team to beat in a couple weeks.
[/QUOTE]
more about Bojan having to cover Lebron or Davis than Lebron
[QUOTE]Back to back for LA. The Suns went 3-0 against the Jazz this year and Utah fans are still more concerned about the Clippers. But I can understand that, especially since the most recent loss against Phoenix was a very short-handed one. That being said, the Jazz went 2-1 against the Clippers this year. I think the worry is again that now that it’s almost playoff time, Kawhi Leonard will round into his MVP-level form.
[/QUOTE]
probably but the Suns have been the worse matchup this year

same as the past 6 years. Gobert. If he's on the floor you've got a good chance of winning

better D and ball movement without Mitchell.
[QUOTE]The wear and tear of an unusually compressed season got even tougher for Utah mid all the injuries, as the remaining rotation players have had to fill bigger roles. Clarkson is getting 5.3 more minutes a night, Ingles and extra 4.9, and Niang’s minutes are up a whopping 7.9. (Gobert’s, Favors and O’Neale’s minutes are roughly the same; Bogdanovic’s are too, but as documented above, he’s playing a much larger role as a facilitator, ball handler and scorer.)
