Is Mitchell human?

My point was that everybody loved Curry through title #1 and Finals #2. Once they got Durant though, I think Curry lost some luster. People went from hailing Curry to chatting about everything like a dang talk show. He went from the man to part of the equation.

The thing that is amazing about DM is he gets everything in the system... he at times forces stuff, but those have been the exception not the rule. We are seeing the limited ceiling of guys that just go and get theirs... and the guys that are the offensive system. In the playoffs you can plan around it and force them to have superstar nights to win.

Anyway... I'm not sure where we can improve personnel wise, but Rudy doesn't need the ball to be effective and DM gets his in the system. When its closing time he can go more iso and be effective. I hope we don't ever force feed him like Houston does to Harden... hope he always attacks this way, but just gets better at it.
 
His participation in the Ingles interview was cringeworthy... fake accent saying all the cheesy things. Joe handled it well.
When Joe asked him who sang the song, this is how I was hoping the interaction would go:

Ingles: Do you know who sings that?
Shaq: Men at Work.
Ingles: Yeah, let's keep it that way.

Cool clip... didn’t see the interview until just now... title of the article and the nickname are straight fire... also ties into the gamethread title... is infection a prophet? Some say that he is...

Golden quote here:

“I am just focused on the task at hand,” Mitchell said. “The biggest thing with me is if I start thinking about the individual stuff and all the stuff that really matters to the team, that’s when you kind of lose your head. You got to give your all for your teammates. I’m just trying to give my all any way I can. It’s definitely an honor.”

Said Jazz coach Quin Snyder: “I don’t think he’s trying to do anything special. He’s playing.”
 
Nope. None of those. His value goes WAY beyond what he provides on the court. I know Utah had a lot of respect back in the Stockton and Malone days. But Mitchell is truly an ambassador for the team, city and state. We just have to hope he doesn't Lebron or Durant us. But that's something to worry about years from now. And something tells me he's going to be loyal to Quin and DL...as long as the team is built to contend. I sure hope all those years of being the cheapest franchise in the league filled the coffers. Probably not, though. I'm sure the Millers drained as much as they could before turning the team over to a BOD.
This statement about the Jazz being cheap is pure idiocy. You should be thankful that the team you cheer for has had such great ownership for decades.

Larry H's insistence on being in the black every year is the primary reason Stockton and Malone have no rings.

As for the more recent ownership/front office, Jazz under Greg Miller and Dennis Lindsey had the 28th to 30th lowest payroll for 4 years. If you look at the draft picks, the only player Utah couldn't have drafted by not "GM tanking" and instead being competitive is Exum.

And, it could be argued that signing good FA's on decent contracts could have opened the door for more trades. Lindsey had opportunities to add players, make the playoffs and still draft in the 20's.

Kudos to Dennis for his successes. But the Jazz didnt have to be so bad.
 
I have friends who wouldn't give two ***** when I talked about the jazz for years. Now they all have Mitchell jerseys and are hyped jazz fanatics. The kid is a game changer on all fronts.
