theres been a Will Barton signting
These second round match ups have been a real let down now that teams like HOU and GSW are gone... just not much excitement left in the likes of Spurs, OKC vs Clipps match ups isn't as firy... etc..

Yes. According to Locke and Jazz inc. Jerry just decided at halftime to retire. Yep. So that's obviously what happened.

...forget Deron Williams, forget the Nets and forget the Jazz! Why not sit back and just enjoy some REAL basketball for a change! The Spurs are back on track and will sweep the Blazers, then the Thunder....then the Heat! Way too many brains for these hip hop teams! Spurs had 19 assists and only 2 turnovers at half time and won again by 20 points!

Where did I say I like them? I only want to see them play as they're more "exciting" to watch than the likes of Spurs. Reading comprehension.
Honestly can't believe you got a PhD.

I like the spurs.
But the OKC Thunder present too many matchup problems. The spurs might be the 2nd best team in the league behind Miami. I bet they could take Miami again to 6-7 games. I doubt they the go more than 5 against OKC. Yet I doubt okc could take Miami to 6-7 games.
OKC's just Too long and athletic for SA.

On the other hand, the east sucks.
Get out your brooms Miami, cuz Brooklyn stinks. Id rather have Jeremy Evans over KG at this point.
And Indy doesn't have the fire power to stay with Washington. They staved off the broom. Now Washington is gonna finish them.

...yeah, who likes to see a team with 3 times more assists than turnovers and shoots over 50% every game! Much rather see dummies launch off balanced forced shots, make a couple of them....and lose by 20 points.

The Thunder are the West's worst matchup for the Spurs, no doubt. Normally the Spurs can roll through teams while one or two of their role players fall off the wagon, but they definitely need everybody to be clicking to beat the Thunder... OKC just so much more athletic.
But, I think they'll be playing the Clipps this year.

Seriously *** wipe? You wanna go there?
Pretty sure it's common knowledge that the Jazz forced Jerry's hand, he didn't quit.
Throughout the previous year Jerry and Duron's relationship had been deteriorating. At the start of the season Duron came out just blasting Jerry to the media. He complained about the system, how they practiced, in game adjustments (or lack thereof), and film. I remember this clearly because despite having recently purchased a Duron jersey, I thought he was clearly out of line. You never come out publicly blasting a coach. Especially a HOF one unless the relationship had deteriorated last the point of no return.
It was obvious to me that the Jazz were faced with a keep Jerry or Duron decision. This was made even more obvious since LBJ had taken his talents to south beach and Melo made it pretty clear he was leaving Denver.
The Jazz that entire year looked out of sync. Duron wasn't into the rebuilding process. Remember when he chucked the ball at Hayward? The Chicago game just finished it off.
At halftime, Jerry wanted to suspend Duron. He was sick of his comments to the media, breaking off plays, and ultimately acting like the owner of the franchise.
KOC didn't want to do that.
Jerry finished it off by saying it's either him of me. KOC wanted a conversation after the game. To Jerry, that was the answer. He had enough discussion. Enough talking and pandering to the spoiled brat. He was done.
It was shortly thereafter that the Jazz realized that the chances of keeping Duron were minimal even with Jerry gone so they traded him for what they could.
Had KOC traded Duron before the Chicago game, Jerry would probably still be the coach today. Had KOC disciplined Duron and support Jerry in the way Jerry desired, he wouldn't have quit. The Jazz forced Jerry's hand. At the time, the Jazz chose Duron over Jerry. They've obviously had regrets over that and have shown this in giving him a job and with the whole trade and all...
Honestly, I thought this was common knowledge? So if you were merely trolling, congrats. If not, then consider yourself educated now.
