NYRaider Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 One strange thing for the Jazz with our current group is that it's almost as though it's impossible for all of our players to play well at the same time. Like whenever one guy plays well, other guys struggle. We're never able to put it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great offensively and abysmal defensively. Not sure that is going to change with their current roster. Definitely need to trade for a legit wing defender.

And during the Snyder era we've been notorious for slow starts both in games and in the season as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean sure, but they are back to being an offensive juggernaut and flawed defensively. Yeah, they can still play better defense for sure, and I think they will. But not serious contenders unless they pick up a wing defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's become a weakness of the team. Not really even sure how you guys can even upgrade the wing spot since you guys won't move Jokic/Murray/MPJ. Going to try to get someone like Ariza when/if he gets bought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah Harris has been awful. I mean it really sucks that Milwaukee threw together the absurd package for Jrue. We were on the doorstep of getting that down per Lowe. Right now we have to play Harris and hope he gets some game back because our upside is higher with him finding his shot. He's an elite guard defender and is just a mess on offense. Crazy what happened to him. And yeah I don't really think there is a ton we can do unless we want to trade MPJ. And I don't think we want to punt on that potential for a short sighted move. We'll figure it out, I trust the FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oladipo looks to be back at 100% someone should've bought low before the season started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
