    This was a tough loss for me. I really thought we had the championship wrapped up.

    Now what?

    Certainly not running the scheme we're running. Stotts wants to run this system of having the bigs sag in the paint and the guards are left on an island, but it ends up highlighting the fact that our guards suck on defense. If we had even one of them that was good, we could hide the other by switching him off the better opposing guard, but having two of them really fucks us over most nights.

    I still don't understand the Selfolosha popping nurk in the balls foul...why a regular foul and a tech and not a flagrant...what diffrientiates that? If it deserves a tech why not a flagrant?

    They simply looked slightly less shitty than we did. I wasn't impressed by them.

    Who underestimated the Jazz? They have great team on their home floor and had the same record as us.

    He was trash on defense. It was easy to see. Hood just made extremely stupid shots and missed wide open ones because CJ was off trying to figure out how he was gonna turn it over again.

    This was, without question, his worst game of his career. There is no argument.

    Yeah and I have been saying for a while if they had more scorers around them than they would not have to heave up shots. Just give me one more......

    Sad that one of CJ's worst games came right after one of Dame's worst games.

    why does no one get credit for Hood shooting 0-10? also Dame made a ton of clutch defensive plays

    It's so easy to take this team out of their offense: double Dame on pick and rolls. We won't win a close game until we somehow figure that out.

    And I'm really not sure how people are harping on Dame's defense again. The dude's been excellent on D all year thus far. He makes some mistakes, sure, but overall has been pretty damn good. Cj has been awful, though. Guys were attacking him tonight like they would go at Crabbe and Dame last year. Same with Pat.
