Exum Update

[silesian]

dude absolutely zero chance. The teams ahead even with some hiccups, we're not going to see enough of them screw up enough games to jump from 10th to 5th.

Because a team has never made up 2-3 games with 17 games left in the season? Or because over the last 10 games the 5-6 seeds are 3-7 and 4-6, while the Jazz are 8-2?

I'm not saying it is likely, but to say absolutely zero chance is absolutely ridiculous.

Please excuse my ignorance but what exactly does "duck nuts" mean.
Is it safe to say the way the Jazz are playing is the "duck nuts" or am I taking it way out of context.

I will not excuse your ignorance, your lack of familiarity with the idiom is disgrace. Frankly no wonder your children are shooting each other in record numbers your education system is clearly failing in all the most important performance indicators. Before too the long the living will envy the dead.

Something that is the 'ducks nuts' would be characterised as excellent, for instance a school kid saying "my new semi automatic pistol is the ducks nuts" would be the proper use of the term. But i would say the jazz against Indiana played a blinder. It really is only useful as an adjective for a noun, the teams playing style or current performance would not suit this purpose.

If you're into that side of life theres nothing stronger or cleaner (and all natural).

To quote Roger Sterling, I spent ten years of my life on shore leave but that sort of hedonism now leaves me feeling rather empty and unfulfilled, frankly i'm not far away from my own Oprah special. The way my lifestyle has changed in the last 18 months some of my mates have joked that they wouldn't be surprised if i found Jesus.

Lol. **** that noise, that sounds terrible haha. You still dabble in the mind bending side of life? Every tried DMT haha?

No, and no. What is DMT?
I did mushrooms about 2 years ago and didn't enjoy myself. Too old and stressed out I guess. When i was a teenager and early 20's I did shrooms and acid hundreds of times and had a blast. Since my 30's i have maybe done them 5-10 times or something and didn't like it any of those times. My days of doing hallucinigens (no idea how to spell that work) are over. (im 41 years old now)

I could probably type 25-50 pages on the film and certain scenes and how great they are.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but werent you the guy who said you dont watch movies with below a 60% on rottentomatoes?

I think when you get older you just have so much baggage and **** to worry about that tripping your balls off is way riskier.

Thank you for enlightening sensei, I shall be a better person for it. This new knowledge is the ducks nuts.

Excited to see Exum and DM play together.

The entirety of what this thread should have been.

 

[Getting Traded]

The entirety of what this thread should have been.

Yeah, two young guys with great quickness and athleticism, one who's good at throwing lobs and the other who's good at dunking them. Sounds like it could be a match.

 

[zyzz]

Is this the first time Exum has been listed on the official injury report?

Sigh ..... ok let’s try this again. Sure you can make up 2-3 games. But to get to 5th seed we have to finish out the season maybe only losing another couple of games, while a handful of teams who are ahead of us have to die in the arse. Portland and Minny are too far ahead, and OKC has a schedule as soft as ours. Spurs are the spurs. So my view is despite how great things are going the probability of being able to leapfrog 4-5 teams is next to nil.

And I called the dude a name because he didn’t accept my clarification of phrasing. Like someone calling somethings the Ducks nuts ... I meant zero chance of that happening not literal mathematical no chance .. just so remote that I’m discounting it .. cool ?

Minny lost Butler and is only 2.5 games ahead. And they still play the Jazz once. They are not to far ahead. They are also in free fall right now. They are in the process of a "die in the arse" as you say. Same with SA. And the Nuggets, Clippers and Thunder have been pedestrian at best over the last 10.

sure agree with all that. I've actually tipped Minny to lose 5 of their next 6. BUT their closing stretch is as soft as butter. I think the Nuggets will drop out, but OKC aren't going to, they have an easy run in. Portland are playing really well. And NO will fade big time but they probably already far enough ahead. The other teams aren't playing well but they're going to fight like heck. I just think way too many things would have to fall into place for 5th seed to happen. More than happy to be proved wrong.

Personally I think the Jazz end up 6th
