The Jazz have won the last five games by at least 15 points, which at least shows that they’re capable of taking care of business, I suppose.
But this stretch of games is really testing the limits of what I thought possible with NBA defenses. I’ve criticized the defense of Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota, then tore into Jabari Parker in Washington, and then I was faced with this abomination in New York.
They’re just really, really bad at talking to each other, communicating in any way. There were so many times where two players switched onto one guy for no reason, or they try to switched and then nobody did, or just general lack of awareness.
