yeah it definitely has. it makes you feel better to think differently. that's what happens when no one else does it for you. by all means continue to prop yourself. while the rest of us focus on enjoying this championship team. you can continue to sulk in that little corner of yours
The reason we're defending so well is very simple: We're not putting any weak defenders on the floor. Yeah, you can b**** about Green or Faried now and then. But we don't have a Ryno or a Melo. We don't put out any bigs who can't move their feet. The best our opponents can do, generally, is to force switches till they iso on Harden. And that, they're discovering, ain't good enough.
That's true. The other piece is the Jazz are going away from their size advantages and have instead decided to match up against us. In last night's game they changed out Favors for Crowder, losing much of their size advantage. And they flipped Gobert back and forth, not playing them together at all. The ONLY REASON this game wasn't a bigger laugher than game 2 was because Harden made his single annual donation to the Easter egg hunt last night. Otherwise we win by 40. Jazz only chance to trouble our defense is with double bigs. They obviously don't see it that way. They'll be lucky to get one game from us since they're not exploiting our lack of length.
Double Bigs would make them easier to defend, not harder. This is why you aren't coach. Because you would also understand that the Jazz can't put two bigs on the floor for the simply reason they wouldn't be able to defend against us and would get blow-out giving up open 3's. This is why you don't understand the game, you just look at things myopically. You created a thread worrying about how we would defend the Jazz - and you look utterly foolish. At some point, you have to admit you know nothing about basketball and are just making stuff up in your mind to try to sound like an expert.
Looks like embracing the one-big lineups helped them last night. That was certainly their best performance of the series. They moved the ball very well, but missed a few too many open 3s and thus lost the game.
If they had combined the powers of Ricky Rubio with Thon Maker at center instead of Gobert they surely would have won handily.
Putting 2 bigs on the floor for too long would have made them even worse offensively, especially shooting the 3. Jazz just dont have the stretch 4 or a 3 point shooting point to maximize efficiency for Mitchell and Goebert.
The main reason this series is close to a sweep is because their offense downright stinks. lulz @ this thread....
Well they do but Ingles has been rendered useless. He was the only player I thought would give us issues.
