    Jazz square off against them Indiana boys on an Indiana night -- Jazz @ Pacers 3/7/2018 5:00 pm MST

    Yeah, I think my statement reads a bit different than the intent. I've always been a huge Lebron fan. Seems to me he's dominating the ball even more than ever, and passing less unless he gets into trouble. Maybe you would like a system where one guy does 50% of the dribbling, gets 50% of the...

    Jazz square off against them Indiana boys on an Indiana night -- Jazz @ Pacers 3/7/2018 5:00 pm MST

    Yeah, I don't miss Hood at all. Also, watching Cleveland makes me think it would be impossible to like to play with Lebron, or have Lue as a coach. 4 guys stand around, occasionally switching positions around the outside while he tries to make a play. Of course, last night he made lots of them...

    Rudy back to beasting... this changes everything.

    Rudy is currently the only irreplaceable guy on the roster. I don't want them to have to do without Mitchell, but it could be done for a short time with some success as Royce, Rubio, Burks, and Crowder are all capable players. Rudy simply changes the game for the opposition when he's in. Mostly...

    Exum Update

    Exum deserves to play Period. Has tremendous upside, everyone else in this conversation is much closer to their actual or theoretical ceiling. I like Burks, but he dumb and Quin don't. Mitchell has plateaued in the last 20 games, part of the reason is defenses are more concentrated on him. But I...

    Rudy Gobert "Greatest Jazz Center of All Time" Countdown Thread

    I don't think that Memo even belongs in the conversation with Eaton and Rudy. Rudy is just starting to have the impact that Eaton did. I believe that Rudy will in the end be far and away the better player, but it's stretching to say that he's there already. In Eaton's era, if zone defenses were...

    Any retired jerseys before Gobert?

    IMO, AK doesn't deserve number retirement, or even much discussion really. Too much wasted talent. I agreed/argued he was worth the max, and felt like I was wrong pretty much immediately. Injuries derailed the desire for extreme effort and his athleticism was no longer a tier above because of...

    Best Friends Forever

    Yep, I thought he was going to help lead the Jazz to contention/more finals appearances. Utah has been attracted to really large people that have had one issue or another that prevented ever amounting to much. Luther, dinner bell Mel, Ostertrynot, Krylo, Jarron, Curtis now what's Brokechart...

    How long til we can trust Jae Crowder?

    He passed the test long ago for me, even when it was being said that maybe he would come back as a compensation piece for losing the other guy. His performance in Cleveland was an aberration. Not a superstar, but a genuine piece that makes a difference in wins/losses in the tier below.

    Thoughts and Prayers

    Magazines capable of holding over 10 rounds have been around for at least 150 years, yet only in the last few years are they being advantageously used for mass killings. Why? Must be because guns have changed. Take away guns from law abiding citizens and crooks will still have them. Anyone with...

    "SKYWALKER"

    Yeah, I agree. Kenny Walker wouldn't appreciate it either.

    Royce O'Neale Over Bolomboy

    Wow TJF! So I'm a joke and an immature ignoramus? Well ok, I have, on occasion, heard similar sentiments. I heartily disagree that I derailed the thread though, that was totally uncalled for.

    Royce O'Neale Over Bolomboy

    This is just fantastic. I Loled. Don't care to comment on anything else really, because other than last game Neto has been fine, and Royce is an actual, deserving rotation player.

    NBA Stars' Comments and Reactions to Rookie Donovan Mitchell

    I'm a Jazz fan so of course I pick Mitchell. Also, I think Mitchell will be one of the best ever, like Wade, but a better (more willing) passer. If I was a Philly fan, I wouldn't be happy if Simmons lost to Mitchell for ROY. Simmons' body of work is rather impressive and he is fun to watch...

    Disregard Mirotic, Aquire Favors!

    I think the Jazz will resign him. Money for people like Favors is scarce. Can't create his own shot and can't shoot threes. Good system guy and strong defender when healthy, which is hit and miss. If he was worth much, the Jazz would have traded him. Has a good attitude, but really needs more...

    San Antonio Spurs @ Utah Jazz - Mon. Feb 12th 7pm MST

    In mentioning that Jingles fouled Ginoldbe, why does it matter when the play should have been dead for being out of bounds. Quite a bit got missed in this game by a fairly shoddy officiating performance.

    San Antonio Spurs @ Utah Jazz - Mon. Feb 12th 7pm MST

    Down 13 with 9 and change, to win is awesome. Game was ugly, Favors was MVP.

    General NBA 2017-2018 Season Thread

    I think the Cavs got way, way better with the trade, both offensively and defensively. Part of it will be the way the players they brought in are used, but IT is unbelievably overrated. I really like both players from the Lakers, and Hill is awesome when healthy. Almost worth that fat contract...

    Joe Jesus Gratitude Thread...

    He was phenomenal last year, pretty blah this year and in the way of people more deserving of his minutes. Also, he has earned hundreds of millions, so thanks for wanting to leave to help someone else.

    Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

    Crowder has been disappointing in Cleveland but this is still a great deal for Utah. Rodney is definitely better offensively, more versatile, but Crowder will fit in here nicely. He may even get to touch the ball from time to time. Watching Cleveland is pretty sad. Cleveland seriously upgraded...
