Here are three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 116-111 loss to the Houston Rockets from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.
Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder reacts as the Utah Jazz lose to the Houston Rockets 111- 116 at Vivint Arena, Jan. 18, 2022.Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 116-111 loss to the Houston Rockets from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.Ah ha — A new wrinkle in the Jazz’s ever-evolving list of ways to be bad at perimeter defense! You just love to see growth, and the Jazz are really displaying new ways to be bad in every game of this six-of-seven losing spell.
However, the second-half threes were so frequently due to awful defensive focus from the perimeter players; honestly Jordan Clarkson in a majority of possessions. Garrison Matthews scored a season-high 23 points tonight, and it was as if the Jazz forgot that he is a quality shooter. Here’s an example of Clarkson just kind of losing urgency in the middle of the play:
On the other end of that comparison, I’m not naive about Eric Paschall. He did play against the Lakers, and put up zeros across the board in his seven minutes. He is not the savior of everything. Warriors coach Steve Kerr also didn’t play him. But let’s say that you don’t believe the Paschall-at-center lineups can work, due to him being smallish and not a great rebounder. Then I think it still makes sense to play him at the four in place of Rudy Gay, instead of Danuel House. Maybe the thinking there is that the Jazz want to find out if House can be a contributor while he’s on his 10-day?
“I feel like those guys were having more fun than we did,” Gobert said. “At the end of the day, yes, there are those games that we’re supposed to win, obviously. But I think we’ve got to enjoy the game. We got to enjoy the job and try to enjoy playing with one another.” They’re also not getting out and running as much as usual, taking away fun transition plays. It’s hard to remember a great Jazz hustle play — Conley had a good offensive rebound late, but there hasn’t been a lot of diving on the floor or taking charges.
