Nothing what 30mil a year can’t cure though...

Coulda had more than that from us, and be way more beloved.

Boston media has claimed so many lives, that’s soft douche thought he could handle it?

Dude needed to just go to one practice with Mitchell to realize he could fulfill his life dream of being a second fiddle. He was too scared that he’d have to be ‘the guy’

Damn fool

However, his ego could never allow someone to become a star under him. Dude is perhaps the most insecure star player I’ve ever seen.

Who we getting in the lottery?

 

[The Fresh Prince]

yup so after all this time we now know that Rubio isn't any better than what his career stats say he is. He'll just have the odd hot month or two toward the end of each season. He's getting killed by other guards.

Give someone else extended minutes and see if they improve. Fire Snyder Trade Jingles to the NBL

Monica, did you just say trade Jingles? That isn't the answer.

Trust me, im pissed off at this team. Cant believe this ******** is happening this year when we had such a spectacular turnaround last year. Lets hang in there though bro, easier said than done though. We definitely need more offense.

 

[The Thriller]

At some point we need to stop blaming this team and maybe look at the league. Sacramento is a damn good team in 2018’s nba. They have shooters, all their bigs have length and run like deer, and Fox has elite athleticism.

I think this is less about us and more about the league right now. Everyone is scoring 60+ per half and 110+ per game. Every game now has the pace of a nba all star game. The 2005 suns with amare, Joe Johnson, and Nash would be an average scoring team with as fast as teams are playing right now.

Maybe by mid season teams will be worn out?

But if not, the league will have just passed a lot of teams by.

I don’t think the jazz are any worse than last year. But I’m also not sure if we can keep up with a league that has jumped so much in one year with pace of play. I read that the pelicans led the league last year in pace. Their exact same statistics would be good for only 14th this year.

Everyone is copying the warriors and honestly, a lot of teams have done a better job than us.

If the games were called like they typically are in the playoffs, I think you’d suddenly see lower scoring games and a much more dominant jazz. But with the pace being played these days, teams are scoring before Rudy can even cross half court. Multiple Times Sacramento was scoring today with 15+ on the shot clock. Unbelievable pace. Same with the pacers. Same with Dallas. The pace that teams are playing right now is just insane.

dude the thing i'm most worried about is the lack of hustle and force we're playing with defensively .. i'm sure our offense will improve but the D is really worrying .. i'm hoping it's just fatigue but we just look slow af and disinterested.

And you're right i do need to get laid .. can you tell my wife ? tia

 

[The Fresh Prince]

And btw, didnt mean to be a keyboard warrior at anytime. I know we had a stint where we were beefin but man lifes too short to be goin neck to neck with a fellow jazzfan. You got under my skin at one point, and you're good at that (hence your handle), but id like to be desperados, homies, compadres and all that.

 

[The Thriller]

Seriously, look at the scores tonight.

Bucks scored 143. Several scored 120+. All teams with the exception of the warriors, ironically, scored in triple digits.

The pace of the league right now is insane.

This isn’t so much about the jazz as it is about the league. Dunno how you counter it other than going smaller and faster.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Gobert forces teams to shoot a lower percentage at the rim and second-guess whether to drive in the first place. Then Gobert is our primary rebounder. Gobert is doing his job.

He’s not been nearly as good this year... it ain’t even close. I love Rudy... but he’s not competing as hard as he normally does.

Offensively its scary because we were never known to be an offensive team in the first place.. we used to be like the Evander Holyfield/James Toney of basketball where we'd wear a team out with defense and pace, but this year its a different story. Its like we lost our identity in the league.

Man i hope we can turn it around. Last year we thought missing Rudy was the reason our team was bad for half of a season. Now we got a fully stacked team and we're under .500. Dammit.

Bro if I come on here and say somethin stupid just be like Prince, wtf man... lol ill understand.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Imagine if we signed Bjelica on a ****ing cheap multi-year instead of reupping on blazing noodles and the other center.

But at least we got 3/30 for Dante... I mean who wants to pay 3/18 for a guy who could start and solve a lot of your problems... where the fun in that?
