    Walker Kessler named Western Conference Rookie of the Month for February

    Does WK already basically give us everything our $40M player would have (who most here deemed irreplaceable last season)? Who would you rather have? (Per36) Player A - 16.3p, 13.6r, 1.7b, 1.2a — 127ortg, 109drtg, 1.3vorp, 0.6dbpm, 0.2obpm, 19.4per Player B - 13.7p, 13.3r, 3.6b, 1.3a — 140ortg...

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    Agree, when combined with his insane usage and the “way” he has to get his points it’s likely very hard to maintain that for 82 games

    Mitchell outdoes Luka for NBA performance of the year

    I may be in the minority, but I thought he was very consistent last year too. He's just getting more reps and minutes this year, and the numbers show it. I think his occasional woes in the playoffs were less a consistency issue and more of a "he got shut down" issue without having other...

    Donovan Mitchell 71 points

    Don played with the GOAT defensive monster last year and still had negative defensive metrics across the board. Just pointing out that improvement can be made with the right scheme. Having a stick up your *** about Don became the trendy thing to do on this site, I get it. But you can move past...

    Mitchell outdoes Luka for NBA performance of the year

    The averages and cumulative data both suggest he’s been pretty damn consistent lol. You’re acting like he’s going out and laying eggs 50% of the time, and big numbers are swaying the averages... but if you look at the volume, He’s only had one game all season in single figure scoring, and <20%...

    Donovan Mitchell 71 points

    To be fair, this season, Don has a +0.7 DBPM while Laurie’s is -1.0.

    Mitchell outdoes Luka for NBA performance of the year

    The point is inconsistent players dont average 30ppg on good shooting over the course of the season. To your own point you singled out a 5 game stretch when in totality 80% of his games have been >20pts. And he’s shooting 49/41/87% on the season. That’s not inconsistent.

    Mitchell outdoes Luka for NBA performance of the year

    Are you comparing him to Luka or Lauri? You said Lauri throughout the post and then randomly concluded that luka has 1 sub-20. Just to round out the convo, Lauri has 12 sub-20s. Don has been very strong all season. I find it pretty hard to argue that someone is inconsistent when they’re...

    Donovan Mitchell - CRT and Off Court Racial Issues were Draining

    I’ve lived all over the country, west coast, east coast, the south, Utah. I recently moved to Philly, a predominantly black city. The sheer volume of black children and young adults being murdered here essentially daily has been the most draining thing I’ve maybe ever experienced from a city...

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    I know the DM hate is real on this forum but what an insane game Friday night v Celtics. 31/6/5 so far on the season on 47/40/88, team is 4-1 Rudy’s doing his thing and his team is 4-2 And somehow we have more wins than both of them? Season is shaping up to be more fun than I thought it...

    Where Do You Live? Inside Utah or Outside? (poll)

    Can’t really argue about any of that. To be transparent, I live in the suburbs west of Philly (west of west Philly). Philly has some pretty awesome, historic, beautiful areas, full of culture and diversity. But good god there are some blights on the city, pockets of crime, and true feelings of...

    Game Thread Oct 02, 2022 04:00PM MT: Jazz at Raptors (Preseason)

    had league pass last year but this sounds a bit different. Is this in reference to the condensed replays available after the game? (They used to have a recording of the game where they’d strip away all the timeouts and commercial breaks from the game)

    Used to live in Portland, but recently relocated to Philadelphia.

    I no longer hate the Utah Jazz

    I honestly haven’t felt this disinterested in the team… maybe ever hopefully that’ll change once the season starts, but the fall from best record in the league to a 3-5 year bottom-dwelling tank was way too abrupt for me. We had a generational talent, and a player that many of us thought would...

    Wolves or Cavs? During Utah rebuild which team will you be rooting for?

    Depressing that Jazz seasons are gonna be back to being boring to watch for likely the next 3-5 years. That’s a long *** time.

    Top 10 Best Jazz Players of All Time (and the rest) - FINAL LIST!!!

    To be fair, That’s definitely going to be a short lived stat. Don would definitely become the franchise leader this year (in fewer seasons), if he stayed on the roster. If not, some other person who shoots 12 threes a game will eventually pass him. JC in 2.5 seasons is already halfway to Joe’s...

    Deron/Mitchell

    Deron played more games and had that one flukey year where they made the WCF, which slightly tipped the scales for me.

    Deron/Mitchell

    Will be interested in seeing the results as Deron was semi-hated by our fanbase for quite some time after the drama with Sloan.

    Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones

    If all this dirt is indeed true we should be very grateful to Don for not turning this into a public trade demand or Gordon Hayward-ing us and instead getting us a whole bunch of assets.
