Gamethread: OKC Thunder @ Utah Jazz. 7PM MST.

[Revolution 9]

Okc just lost to Minnesota. Close game. Seems Minnesota may be good this year. Like for real and not just expectations of being good.

They are going to be better than last year, but I expect OKC to turn it on later, and Minn to fade a little as the pressure mounts.
Their youth and inexperience will show up at some point.

Props to our former #20 player for anything he had to do with Joe Ingles getting his contract and Ricky Rubio joining the team - and perhaps for leaving.

And a lot of people felt the same way about Joe Johnson his entire career.

No they didn't. Joe was highly criticized due to the contract that he got, but he has never been the selfish POS that Melo is. Get back to us when Melo signs with a team like Utah and accepts the kind of role Joe is playing.

Joe is the perfect vet to play the role he's playing now, and Utah should look to re-sign him as long as they are a good enough team to have a chance of getting past the first round.

Just the thought of having Melo around our young players makes me wanna puke.

Hey Melo, how would you feel about maybe playing Joe Johnson's role in Utah?...

This. Next June, I would offer Joe a 1+1 deal(player option) and privately offer him an eventual spot on the coaching staff if he likes living in SLC.

Damn right. I hope he retires a Jazzman. I have pretty much no complaints about him. He's the perfect vet.
