    I saw that fool’s face at the end of the game and then immediately thanked God that he’s no longer our coach.
    He was just clueless.

    Gotta give JJ some props - he's coaching well so far this season. We're often playing the type of D he's been calling for. Not all of the time, but it's improving. Game against the Bucks we played some outstanding D.

    I like JJ and think he is doing a good job in a lot of areas, but he hasn't learned from last playoff's overusage mistakes. We finally have a nearly fully healthy team*, and he plays Luka and Austin for 40 min in Utah. I shudder to think what he's going to do in the playoffs...repeat Game 4 no 2nd half subs every game?!

    Meanwhile, he only played game high +18 Smart just 17 min. Even though he used to overuse Smart up to 37 min if he needed him. Man, it's not hard, just shave 4 min each off of Luka and Austin to bring them down to 36, and give them to Smart for 25 min. I bet if he does that, the game doesn't even get close in the 4th.



    *other than Ayton, but Ayton, Hayes, and Kleber combined for 44 min, plus Rui for 3 min at C, so we were not lacking for minutes there.

    I honestly wish JJ and company would read your posts with suggestions re: the substitutions. He really needs to improve there.
