Sounds like Rubio tbh.

For sure... wasn't a slight on AB. I think you need a couple of those guys... tough to have 3 or 4 and have to rely on them doe.

I didn't take it as a slight to AB either btw.

I got tickets to the jazz vs Cavs game in a few weeks. Burks jersey will be on display. (Taking my nephew who is in dire need of a positive male role model)

I think kanter would just keep coming at giannis no matter what giannis did. Eventually kanter would get hands on him and then rip him apart caveman style

I think Giannis would extend one arm on his forehead while Kanter tried to come at him and the other hand would deliver hammers to the top of the head.

If the fight included any lateral movement Giannis would win. Also, Giannis grew up hustling on the streets so I think he can handle himself... Its dudes like Bobby Portis who may not have the most amazing physique (still impressive, but by NBA standards just above average) that had to take care of business growing up that would scare me in a fight.

Kanter is a douche but I think it'd be a good fight.

Noice... I've been adamant defending the Korver trade so didn't want you, or any other AB stans, to take it the wrong way. I still love the dude and will forever root for him. Straight class and I love how much fight he's had to get back. It was a great move for all involved. I'm team AB forever.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Well of course they were open for the most part.
Always are.
His shot selection is always great as the defense gives him great looks most games.

This is true but he occasionally forces stuff. I missed his good prior to Christmas... just seems like he handles the ball so much and the defense ain't scared most of the time.

Overreaction much?

I think you're a bit slow in the head that you didn't get the sarcastic joke at all.

Due to injuries, bbiq or whatever, I think Burks had the most upside that never came to fruition.

Maybe maybe not. Embiid is legit and gives them a chance

Both times they played Raptors when JV was healthy Embiid was non factor. Same with Simmons - whenever Kawhi was playing he turned him into turnover machine.

Would like to see Exum start if Rubio doesn’t go. I take it Probable means he’s most likely playing.

The Jae thumb sprain or whatever is a bit concerning... thumbs take a while to heal and get hit a lot.

2 game sample size isn't huge

Good point. At least it's on his non shooting hand.

Agreed but I think Quin will likely go with Royce.

Yeah... sucks catching the ball and on defense. I've had that one a couple times... there are loose balls you can't go get without risk of re-injury. Braces are pretty protective and not too restrictive.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

royce is a 4... I'm kinda pissed we haven't figured this out yet. He should pick up Jae's smallball 4 minutes.

Another crap game. Oh well we’ll be world beaters for the next one.

And seriously can’t we just be happy X is looking much better and may potentially be a decent player pretty soon with the hysteria from both extremes ??

We could do that, but then we would no longer be on JazzFanz, which would be a bit sad.

I just watched it. That stretch from the end of the 2nd quarter through the 3rd quarter was a great example why some people hate the NBA. The refs clearly gave the Sixers an unfair advantage.

- travels not called
- Utah players fouled with no call
- bogus fouls called for them
- balls clearly off them given back to them
- 10+ free throws on non-fouls in the 3rd quarter

It was truly hard to watch unless you are a Sixers fan. I give Philly credit for their ball movement, but it's hard to know if they are a better team when they are given such an advantage.

My brother who doesn't watch the NBA said "those two refs must be from Philly". People in my section were furious, throwing F bombs and generally just freaking out. I actually have a sore throat today from yelling at the refs and Embiid.

The word "miraculous" makes me think no. Since miracles are typically rare

Okay, can we have a 29-6 stretch again? Even 25-10 puts us close to where we should be. That seems doable especially remembering that Rubio has historically been much better the 2nd half of a season.
