Just finished the game, here are some scattered thoughts:
Kemba Walker is unplayable. He can’t shoot over length, he’s not making his threes, and he doesn’t have the quicks to get by anyone. And that doesn’t even get into his defense, which is non-existent

The double big lineup is the dumbest, most hard-headed thing I’ve seen a coach stick to. It doesn’t work. Usually when you employ an unconventional lineup, it’s because the pros outweigh the cons. There are no pros to playing two 6’9” bigs who can’t *really* guard the perimeter
The Jazz should have won this game by 30. The C’s best play was the Theis corner 3 off dribble drive action. That will never be consistent
The C’s came out in the third quarter and said, “we’re going to win this by finishing over Gobert, not by making all the threes we made in the first half!” Who does that?
Donavan Mitchell is awesome, but he also gets calls that would make Dwyane Wade blush.
Rudy Gobert should be banned from the league for effectively shutting it down last year. The fact he’s not a pariah is shocking, but he is also very good.
The Jazz made a ton of wide open threes and on every one Scal commented, “oh that’s a tough shot.” No they weren’t. They were practice shots
C’s could miss the playoffs
