LeBron's stats with Iguodala on bench versus Iguodala on court:
Iguodala on Bench: 44% FG, 47% eFG, +30 +/-, 107.4 offrtg
Iguodala on Court: 38% FG, 41% eFG, -55 +/-, 94.1 offrtg
But yeah, Iggy did nothing.

But, he was missing one of the three musketeers. This year will be different.
Not my point and not what we're talking about.

I'm glad someone out there isn't a *****. Seeing how little effort favors plays with it wouldn't surprise me if Rudy is rebounding the **** out of the ball.

It's actually really hard to describe just how clueless you truly are ..
lol
Find the post where I implied the Jazz wouldn't get swept by either team, and you can continue riding that high horse all night long.

Guys, we're still solid. Jazz would have won this game if Exum and Burks had played.

It's called SARCASM. I'm Mr. Pessimist, remember?
I've been the only voice calling out Lindsey for his inaction in spending money to bring in a bench. Sorry for not putting "sarcasm alert" at the end of my post. Since I'm the drama queen who overreacts to everything, I didn't think it was needed.
He was being sarcastic.

There have been 3 seasons in recent memory that have been complete wastes of time abortions.
04-05, when we signed boozer and Okur we thought for sure we were playoff bound... Until ak and boozer broke and the wheels fell off.
That last season with Jefferson andnmillsap where we kept all the vets merely to let them walk away for nothing in the end.
And this one. This one has truly Been a waste of time. Our offense is painful to watch and our defense often times sucks. Hayward, favors, Gobert are who they are. Good nice role players. But half our roaster belongs in the d league, we don't have a NBA PG, and our coach sucks at drawing plays in the last min.
DL has some serious work to do this offseason. We aren't even close to competing. Can we just forfeit the rest of our games and just plan for the draft? We need a solid 3-4 new draft picks to replace the garbage on our bench.and it sure would be nice if we at least attempted to try free agency

Can't disagree with you there (two posts ago).
The middle one is kind of hard to argue, though. DL had not yet won the "rebuild" fight. Jefferson and Mo were goners, but Millsap, DMC and even Foye could very well have been brought back along with signing a veteran PG (KOC's "retool" strategy). The Jazz had $30M in cap space to do so. All three were still on the market when DL got the okay to do the GS deal. I think they expected Utah to make them all offers. Millsap, in particular, had to take a HUGE salary hit. He probably could have signed elsewhere for more had he started negotiating with teams on day #1 of free agency.
Sorry, Thriller. Looks like I missed YOUR sarcasm.

Just reflecting how a lot of others have portrayed me on this board. I'd probably do better in NY or Philly, where fans are very harsh on their teams if/when they deserve it. But I've been a Jazz fan for 35 years. It pains me to see this franchise where it's at right now. And I'm VERY concerned it isn't all DL's doing. Jazz don't have an owner vested in winning, They have a board directing expenditures and a bunch of kids living off the team their dad built. It's not a situation conducive to spending big to contend.

Anyone have access to Mama Burke's twitter? I bet she was in fine form after the game.

He already is the greatest shooter of all-time, and this season for him stacks up with among the greatest any player has ever had.
