It's a close call, in any event our PG position is what's screwing us over game after game, after game...

tank job to no purpose Is there a decent wing shooter available 10-15 in this draft ??

You look at that schedule and the Jazz SHOULD have been at least 6-1. I guess Charlotte qualifies as a quality win since they're 32-28. We caught Dallas napping in the 4th. The 7-game streak was never a reflection of how good the Jazz were. Nor does this losing streak mean the Jazz are this bad. It all averaged out. Utah is about a .500 team with serious deficiencies on offense and absolutely HORRIBLE PG's.

so we suck at winning AND we suck at losing? (picking 13th or 14th, is a ****ty tank job)
So you were expecting Burke to win the game alone when we were down by 11 in the 4th quarter?
What you saw so encouraging in Mack's game?
I and others have posted more than enough stats on this board to show that the plsyers all play considerably better with Mack than with Burke. This is just getting dumb now.

Yes, but there was one available in the last draft and DL went with the ballerina. Could have EASILY signed a decent PF or wing as a free agent to strengthen the bench. Instead, Jazz re-upped Johnson, Ingles, Millsap and signed Pleiss. Only FA signing that made sense was Withey to back up Gobert. And that AMAZING trade at the deadline. WOW!!!

I don't think they decided to tank until Burks got hurt and wouldn't be back until well after the All Star Break. I just think that Quin is tanking with his mid game rotations and then the starters get a chance to bail the team out at the end. Or something similar to that.

Would Hood have made a difference? I feel like this team needs to dump Ingles, Booker, Burke.

This is dumb. Snyder wants playoffs. Team wants playoffs.

This.
Blaming the 1-5 record on Mack is a kindergarten analysis. Why not also point out that the Jazz won every 1st quarter they've played with Mack? Or that the Jazz with Mack in the game are still a net positive?
Also worth mentioning is that 4 of the losses were at Portland, vs San Antonio, at Boston, and at Toronto. Boston and Toronto haven't lost at home in forever, Portland's on an amazing tear, and San Antonio is San Antonio. The only unforgiveable loss was against Brooklyn, and Mack was one of very few Jazz players who played well that game.

And replace them with other guys DL finds at Walmart. DL WON'T spend money. We've been told the Jazz would be players in free agency for several years - that's why they wouldn't take on any long-term deals (and why Utah didn't get anything back for Boozer, Jefferson, etc.). I guess that meant the GS trade. DL will say he explored several options, but ultimately likes our young players, believes in internal development and that getting Exum (and Burks) back will be the biggest acquisition(s). DL has already conceded the season. And he's probably pissed off a few players by not getting any real help for them. Jazz played their butts off heading into the break. I'm sure it was pretty disheartening to them that the GM for a team fighting for the playoffs only adds a 3rd-string PG to strengthen a weak bench.
