Lack of toughness. Lack of fearlessness. Jazz are Charmin soft

We're all very frustrated so I'll try to keep this brief. Jazz players are just not mentally tough enough right now. They're a nice group that really like each other but it's clear they don't have anyone to challenge them and get in their faces. At least not a player. I'm not saying a Jimmy Butler type is needed (though that would be great) but they have to get someone to be a leader to get this group playing like tough guys and not scared rabbits. Media could use more toughness, too. Saw Quin's post game conference. Pure softball. Not one question about his defensive "strategy." It's extremely disappointing how weak and timid and scared and rattled and panicked they've played against Houston. It's like they're scared to death to play basketball. They're the anti-Clippers. Those guys are crazy competitive, mentally and physically tough. I won't name who I feel the softest players are but I think we all have a pretty good idea (or should.)
