Monday’s defeat to a very short-handed Dallas team had the coach saying he was 'disappointed,' and at least one UtahJazz player acknowledging that the impending trade deadline is weighing on players. TakeNote
Just about everyone asked uttered some iteration of trying to ignore the rumors, blocking out anything peripheral or tangential to the game itself.Veteran point guard Mike Conley said he’d love to be able to convince young teammates to turn their phones off this week, but knows it’s futile. So instead he preaches “try to come in and keep your routine, try to keep your mind away from the what-ifs and all the possibilities that are out there.”“It’s tough.
The Finnish forward said that having been traded three times now, he’s a bit more zen about the idea and so he personally doesn’t find the trade deadline unsettling; nevertheless, he admitted to being one of myriad players playing sub-optimally Monday. And then Dallas reeled off 11 straight points early in the second quarter, the Jazz fell prey to the emotions of seeing the momentum swing against them, and despite occasional flashes of putting it together again, they never really recovered.• “Collectively, we just did not have the necessary focus and attention to the little things. They had 27 points in transition and 24 second-chance points, and that’s why we lost the game.
• “I told them tonight that, at moments, it really just felt like we were somewhere else in our minds. Wherever that place is, I’m not exactly sure. We just did not seem to have that collective chip on our should that we’ve carried with us all year.”
