I’ll say this again Willie keeps getting outcoached. His rotations, game awareness and ATOs are atrocious.

And this is your friendly reminder that Zion played 29 games last year and Ingram 50?. I think we win 4 more if he stayed healthy

If we stop fumbling games we should win and take care of business, it allows you a little breathing room and the chance to withstand an injury or 2 later in the season, which will happen.

We lose a lot of games in November where I hear this it's no big deal. Friendly reminder we finished last season as the 10 seed, and winning just 3 more games would have put us tied for 4th.



I mean I agree but we’re without 2 pretty big pieces of our team right now. I’d argue 3 with Ryan with what he was bringing shooting wise. I’m just not gonna freak out just yet. If we’re .500 after getting everyone healthy, then I’ll freak

while this is accurate, the more important issue is that we need to TAKE more 3s. we have the same 3pt% as utah this season. the difference is they take way more 3s per game than we do. no team should take 26 less 3s than another team in a single game in the year 2023

Well dude, the reason we aren’t shooting 3s is because our 3pt shooters aren’t playing. Those aren’t like mutually exclusive issues

But we won't get healthy in 1-2 weeks then stay healthy all year. That's rare for most teams, probably impossible for us. Which is why you need to beat shitty teams and handle business to create the cushion necessary to weather those future storms.

To be fair losing stars to injuries for majority season is almost impossible to withstand. Plus CJ was playing with a broken hand.

You think we'll have perfect healthy for the final 55 games of the season?

If so, why?

If not, these losses to shitty teams are hugely important right now in November.

Well... Dyson is taking 3's because he's too stupid to realize why he is getting so many open looks.

uh the guy who leads the jazz in 3pt attempts and is easily their best shooter and player just in general didnt play tonight. they still shot damn near 50 3s. whether trey and cj are playing or not, the team needs to be taking significantly more 3s

Sure, but like forget Zion playing more games if CJ wasn’t playing through a broken hand last year we easily win 4 more games. Yes we are a franchise with a history of injury, but last season was an injury outlier even for us. And what I’m saying is even if we have below leave average injury luck the rest of the year, as long as we don’t have luck like last year, we will not be the 10th seed

They have much better shooters than us overall and are playing at home. All their role guys made huge 3s. None of ours did and BI didn’t either.

People itt freaking out, and it's hard to hear because it's a shite loss, but at this moment the only thing that really matters is Zion and Ingram played another game of basketball together and stayed healthy. They'll go back to work tomorrow, figure out some more stuff, and get better.

It's not like we've buried ourselves in the standings. We're .500 and getting healthier. Just grow from this

I see this a ton and Willie is an easy scape goat. Do you think he’s ignoring Borrego? Borrego isn’t coaching ?

You and others point to rotations , ATO’s , etc . What would you differently ?

Not play fricking nance. Feed JV. Run a better ATO set. He got completely outcoached.

His determination to give minutes to Nance is absolutely killing this team. The Nance/Zion lineups cant rebound worth a shite.

The last 4 games since Nance came back he is -2, -4, -5 and -5. In close games that matters tremendously. Meanwhile JV has played amazingly basketball this season and as soon as Nance came back we went away from JV.

It’s like you don’t understand basketball?

If they are shooting the same % on way more attempts that means they have better shooters than us

The reason our percents are the same is because we’re more conservative with our 3pt attempts which means we take a greater ratio of high percentage 3s vs low percentage 3s

Which is why their shooters are better on average
