on him? Got it. Jazz offense was not the problem, it was the defense, and as good as Rudy is defensively, he can't cover 5 guys at once.

Doug Gottlieb just ripped on Snyder and his lack of adjustments.

Did he propose what adjustments he'd make?

Clips' zone hurt us and for stretches turned us into...

Don't you beat a zone by penetrating, getting the defense to collapse and kicking it outside for open looks?

can be tough to penetrate a zone. an easy way to beat it is ...

We tried that. We should have gone man but taken Rudy out

I'm going to change my board name to "Rudy wasn't the problem on defense".

It’s on the coach and it’s in his teammates

And two of our primary wings were really hurt. I don't think we need to blame

I agree. Rudy wasn't the problem, he just wasn't capable of being the solution

cougaman

6/21/21 1:43pm

Agreed. I don't think Rudy played great, but having him cover the paint while

Yup. It's nearly impossible to have to guard the guy in the corner

Rudy's inability to make the Clippers pay for playing a lineup with a 6'8 center

Jay Kay

That and his teammates inability to get him a clean pass down low.

The offensive personnel of the Clippers was made possible by Rudy's inability to

Jay Kay

The problems are interconnected. I think the Jazz could've found ways to take

Hypnotoad

Right, Rudy just isn't a guy that is going to create offense on his own. If

Quinn didn’t even make an attempt to use Gobert inside offensively

A Drew Aitch

6/21/21 2:21pm

Gobert reminds me of Dwight Howard, except Dwight Howard could switch.

Jay Kay

6/21/21 2:27pm

It's easy to criticize. I don't see a good adjustment to make though.

I would have at least TRIED a Royce, Bogey, Ingles, DM, Clarkson lineup.

Dakota Cougar

would've been interesting. Maybe not instead of Gobert but instead of playing...

icecougar

Definitely worth a shot there. Favors got worked over in that series.

Ungoy

6/21/21 2:00pm

Worth a shot, but Morris and PG would have feasted on that lineup where Ingles

runnincoug

6/21/21 2:09pm

They feasted anyway. It really was lose lose with what the Jazz had to work with

Ungoy

Easy to just rip on coach. Bottom line it was a bevy of issues that lead

On offense, when Mitchell is doubled way beyond the 3-pt line...

Jazz shot well enough every game. It was the turnovers that were the problem.

In the 2 wins Jazz either won turnover battle or they at least...
