What's new

Jazz at Hawks, starts in 15 mins (22 Jan 2018, 5:30 pm)

This team plays like a team that won't be together next season.

I would argue they play like a team that won't be together next week.

The constant instability and uncertainty has got to be an emotional drain on these kids.

I like Favors, I kind of wish the Jazz would have just left him in Atlanta last night and put Muscalla on the Jazz plane. At Least the Jazz and Favors would have closure.
 
I can agree with this, a few games he can have a pass for sure, but we can acknowledge it happenes. Donovan has earned the right to some bad games, this was one of them on both ends of the court. Donovan enjoys rest, the schedule and amount of games has worn on him. Sacramento he had a couple days rest, and we saw how he played then.

One thing that bothers me, and maybe it’s because I watched Karl and John, but I hate seeing guys smiling after a pathetic loss like tonight. Derrick Favors smiling, Donovan smiling, Royce smiling. Royce even posted his friend on the Hawks on twitter pumping him up. I get the games over and the NBA has become a friendly skinny jeans league, but it bothers me. Even someone like D-Will a loss truly bothered, especially a joke of one like this. That’s why the Rockets/Clippers thing was actually fun to watch. It’s not the same league I get that, but there shouldn’t be smiles and joking on the court after the worst team in the league just embarrassed you.
Donovan is an upbeat, unpretentious kid with the heart of a lion. It's a major part of what makes him special. If he can keep his teammates laughing after all of the losses they've suffered, then more power to him. Players are human and all this talk of trades has to weigh heavily on their minds, especially since the only ones not mentioned are Rudy and Donovan.

Frankly, I'm surprised any of them can laugh.
