This bolded part is really important. Quinn Synder is a really good coach and I would want him if he were a FA. These Jazz guys are all smart and there are several of them who shoot the 3 like they are superstars. I'd have said a good portion of those 20 made 3s were bad shots if I had to judge, but they make them consistently.We literally played great team basketball the last three games, all of which Garland also excelled at.
Tonight we played a great team, that has been together a while, that has system reinforced from the continuity of players and coaches working together for 3-4 years, who has a great defensive personnel. We scrapped, we fought back. We had some success and we have some things to work on.
DG is the primary ballhandler. Some of his shots are going to come from his own creation. That does not mean at all that team basketball is not occurring, He did what he did very efficiently as well. 31 points on 19 shots is excellent and not ball stopping.
The length to which you are going to discredit or act like the growth we are seeing out of him is no big deal is staggering.
This was a case of a vet team taking advantage of some young ins and they still only lost by 1. Plenty to criticize, but the game could have been won if they just passed it to the Jazz one fewer time.
