If that's a foul, the NBA would be completely unwatchable and every player would foul out every game.

I am absolutely not saying we should draw any serious conclusions from two games of play, but Conley has not only failed to be an upgrade over Rubio, he wouldn't even be an upgrade even over Palacio or McLeod. This may be the worst two-game stretch I can recall for any player in Jazz history...

The best NBA announcing duo in recent memory was Ralph Lawler and Mike Smith with the Clips (and I say that as someone who hated Smith in college). Bolerjack is very middle-of-the-pack. While he has his foibles and shortcomings (the skip pass versus bounce pass thing is also one of my pet...

Easily the best Girl Scout Cookie.

I believe it's "run into the ground."

If it neither tilts the playing field in favor of or against the Jazz, I really couldn't care less if the NBA has less revenue as a result of a beef with China. If through some unanticipated consequence the Jazz are affected adversely or positively vis-a-vis the rest of the league, then I...

This. Plus the fact that I'll never be able to get over the fact that the Jazz passed up a player who is a first-ballot HOFer, 9-time All Star, 9-time All-Defensive Player, and 8-time All-NBA player to select Williams in the draft.

:eek: Good one, checkbook. I needed that laugh. Boozer's number retired. Hil-freaking-larious. Boozer might be the first player in any sport anywhere to miss 82 games spread over two seasons with a "hamstring" injury. He and his wife wanted out of Utah and tried to force a trade to get out...

Totally agree. I truly believe AK had the potential to be an MVP candidate if he had put in the work and had the heart and desire. Rumors were he spent all his time playing video games and reading Russian novels rather than working on his game. If he had the heart, drive, desire, and grit of...

The only one on these lists who should be even a possibility is Kirilenko, but even he is a "no." Favors might be a distant second. Big NO to the rest.

In this new positionless/hybrid NBA, what makes you say that?

Green will be the Jazz's "LeBron stopper." *wishful thinking/cautiously optimistic emoji here*

I'm generally a Locke fan. During the season, I listen to the Locked on Jazz podcast regularly. I have a lot more pet peeves about Bolerjack than Locke (e.g., how do you not know what a "skip pass" is after broadcasting basketball for several decades?). My one pet peeve about Locke: someone...

Reminds me of Bruce Bowen. Would be awesome if Royce could replicate Bowen's career with a little more bulk and rebounding.

This all went down when I was about 15 or 16, so I will admit that the memories are a bit vague. My recollection is that the local media (this was pre-ESPN/national cable for me) very much painted Dominique as the bad guy. I grew up hating him as a result. Certainly sounds plausible that...

I'm not eating much red meat, but I have definitely had some DELICIOUS short ribs over the years. Love the ones marbled with fat, moist, and falling off the bone with a potato, sunchoke, or celeriac puree. BTW, why do so many people HATE the word "moist?" Something to think about . . . .

That was definitely not the case. The Jazz got $1M plus John "the Drugslinger" Drew and Freeman Williams. Then-owner Sam Battistone was reportedly cash-strapped, but the word in the press was that the trade occurred ONLY because Dominique refused to report and demanded the trade.

Semantics. There are all kinds of "mistakes." The example you give is one. A "poor choice" that produces an outcome that the actor did not intend is another type of mistake. See, e.g., Merriam Webster, Oxford, and Cambridge: "an action or decision that is wrong or produces a result that is...

He's a zone breaker, shot maker, ball taker don't you mess around with me . . . .
