[QUOTE][I]Jazz need him at his best to reach their playoff ceiling[/I]
[/QUOTE]
no they need a coach that will put someone else in the game without hesitation
[QUOTE]It’s that last statistic that matters most for the Jazz. When Bogdanovic is that shooting sniper they signed in free agency, the Jazz are at their best. When you have to stay attached to him on the wing, it opens up the lane for Mitchell and Mike Conley. And when that happens? The blender commences.
[/QUOTE]
Almost everyone on the team can shoot and the others can rim run so you have to guard everyone. Comes down to who can defend and pass the ball. Neither of which Bojan is good at
[QUOTE]I think the numbers help contextualize the big picture bc it definitely challenges my perception of how often he’s turning it over. And I think that it’s worth acknowledging that he’s typically not making plays for others in these scenarios and doesn’t see the help coming from obvious places. He could potentially be a pretty good weapon for attracting help.

[/QUOTE]
it's usually not pretty if he tries to make a play for others. He needs to catch and shoot period. Actually he needs to sit
[QUOTE][h=4]His defense will be important in the playoffs.[/h]
I’m not saying he needs to be a lock down defender (ala Rolls Royce) but I could see him guarding Lebron for a few minutes, maybe even AD. Against the Clippers, he might have to guard Kawhi or PG. Against the Nugs he will get his turn on MPJ or Gordon. As long as he is not atrocious and scores more or spaces the floor for our guards, he will be a huge wild card for the Jazz. If we get the current Boogie, Jingles and JC the Jazz are going to be tough to beat. We have so much firepower on offense.

really?
[QUOTE]If the Jazz were to survive the hot-shooting Curry, they’d earn the right to host either the Denver Nuggets or the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round.

if they can't beat GS they don't deserve anything. Lakers are certainly the team to avoid but probably have to face them eventually anyway

LAC are the best team right now. So Lakers or Clippers? Prefer the Clippers but right now they are the best team

Re: 2020-21 Regular season- The tax team
Jeremy Lin talked with Emmet Ryan of BallinEurope about Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, and more, at the Collision conference, organized by Web Summit, which is being held virtually and staged out of Toronto, Canada. “What he’s doing is ridiculous. The end of the season will be interesting. He’s definitely a front runner right now and Denver is playing really well,” he told BallinEurope regarding Jokic’s position in the race for the NBA season’s MVP award, [URL="https://www.eurohoops.net/en/nba-news/1197540/jeremy-lin-picks-nikola-jokic-as-nba-mvp/"]“The only other person I’d put into consideration is Steph Curry, what he’s doing is historic. There are good candidates on the Sixers and the Jazz but, to me, it’s still Jokic.”[/URL]

Re: 2020-21 Regular season- The tax team
It’s been a busy awards season for Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley. [URL="https://kslsports.com/455367/mike-conley-produced-two-distant-strangers-earns-oscar-nom/"]After being named to the 2021 NBA All-Star Game, the guard’s short film “Two Distant Strangers” earned an Oscar nomination for the Live Action Short Film category[/URL]. Conley served as an executive producer of the film that was released in November of 2020. The film is about a Black man stuck in a loop, repeatedly killed by the same police officer and trying to figure out how to break the cycle.

Both are big problems. Clarkson has fallen back a step and Bojan seemingly hasn't been in rhythm all year. Luckily Joe has managed to take his game up a notch offensively lately, which is not something I thought he'd be capable of.

Long time no see! Hope all is ok?
Yeah after Joe looked to be on the decline the past couple years he's better than ever and actually became an aggressive scorer. Apparently staying in Utah and working in the off season is the difference. Something good came out of the Trump virus afterall!

Imagine that. Ball movement makes a big difference
[QUOTE]“We take pride when someone’s out,” Ingles said. “When someone’s out we have to all step up and play better.”
[/QUOTE]
Don't think that's really the case though. The defense improves and the ball movement improves. Would get even better if Bojan and Clarkson were out too. Snyder proof the team
[QUOTE]Surprisingly, Conley’s scoring average has dipped from 16.3 points per game to just 12.5 points per game in Mitchell’s absence, but his ability to initiate the offense has increased.
[/QUOTE]
Amazing what having the ball in your hands does instead of spotting up and watching Mitchell shoot does. Conley or Ingles should run the offense always
