NBA Season 2021-22

[celticsclay]

It's pretty scary that guys like Dinwiddie haven't done much this series, Doncic just returned a few days ago and despite all that the Jazz could still lose this series. Brunson in particular has torched them and is doing it again tonight. Doncic hasn't even done too well tonight and the Mavs are up 16 now

I’m not sure why people are surprised the jazz underperforming in the playoffs. They are literally famous for doing this every year. They can do ok in the regular season, but their scheme doesn’t work in the playoffs. They literally blew a 25 point lead last year to get knocked out by Terrance Mann.

Jazz been the same 'ol Jazz since the Deron Williams/Carlos Boozer days, probably far more before that. Can't take them serious.

Conley really has declined. And their defense is overrated.

They need to blow it up and somehow sell it to Donovan Mitchell.

Ainge is in a weird spot there.

They're also famous for letting good-but-not-great guards absolutely blaze them in the playoffs.  Jamal Murray isn't a bad player by any means, but the Jazz defense made him look like the best player of all time in the bubble playoffs.  And we're watching it happen again with Jalen Brunson.

Their perimeter defense is a problem that they have not addressed, and it continues to bite them again and again.

Yep. Absolutely. This years team is even worse than past addition cause of conleys decline and losing ingles. Weird to see two teams completely give up in a game tonight. I love laughing about the nets as much as anyone but their showing was a lot pathetic than what we are seeing from jazz and 76ers.

Oh I'm not surprised at all. I've said the same thing on these boards too. I even suggested in the "what coach could be fired after the first round thread" that Snyder could be a dark horse candidate to be fired b/c of all the playoff failures in recent years.

He shouldn't, but who knows. Maybe they side with the players (Gobert, Mitchell, etc.) and Ainge decides he wants to hire his own HC. We've seen guys like Dwayne Casey and Brad Stevens get fired or transitioned out of HC despite a lot of success

Luka heating up and it's over. Mavs may win this by 30+ lol

I think it is 50 50 he gets fired if they go out meekly in 6. As great as doncic and Brunson are they have the worst frontcourt of the entire playoffs by a mile. Bertans is probably the worst player in a playoff rotation. It is a bit on the coach they can’t exploit that more.

If they get this over 30 it is pretty good for them because doncic doesn’t have to go crazy minutes wise.

I know I can't complain since the C's got the sweep but I'd love to see some blowout C's wins in the future series. It'd be great for the heart 

[tarheelsxxiii]

Luka's incredible, but this is a pathetic showing by the Jazz.  They need to tear it down this summer.

Yeah brooklyn was honestly a very solid team even with all their issues. Are defense is just dominating if we got to play the jazz or bulls or hawks or nuggets we probably would have had a blowout.

Yeah 46 points near end of third is completely unheard of in three point era. I mean Dallas is playing good defense but not 46 points good.

Utah, Thank you for sucking. Game is already over and I will be going to bed before midnight for the first time in weeks.

Yeah Games 3 and 4 was annoying in that the C's would always go up 10-15 points, then give up 8-10 in a row and never pull away. But oddly enough that's basically how the games went. Boston stayed ahead throughout, responded to every run and basically held a 4-9 point lead for most of the games.

Thankfully BKN never took a big lead or anything. In a weird way it felt like the C's were in control of both games even though the end of this game got real dicey because of the stupid refs.
