Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 129-118 loss to the Golden State Warriors from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer andyblarsen.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry shoots against the Utah Jazz during the first half of an NBA basketball game in San Francisco, Friday, Nov. 25, 2022. Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 129-118 loss to the Golden State Warriors from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.If this were last year’s Jazz, this game could be seen as a benchmark contest.
What about the transition defense? To be sure, there were moments when the Jazz were blasted open at that end. There were also moments when the Jazz shut the Warriors down pretty impressively. Overall, the Warriors had a 46th percentile transition offense tonight. It’s very hard for me to get upset about a 46th percentile performance.
Look at Kelly Olynyk’s career: for eight of his ten seasons, teams have been worse at defensive rebounding when he’s on the floor than when he’s off. That makes sense, cause he’s not a very bouncy center, and only has a 6-10 wingspan. One of his major rebounding strategies is flopping to draw a whistle, but I think it’s the right move, given that he’s just going to get athletically beaten to these balls as is.
• Jordan Poole has 10 feet of space when he decides to take that midrange jumper, and it’s eliminated in a nanosecond by Kessler. Wow.
