So is Hornacek. And frankly Stockton, who was a great outside shooter. All 3 of them would have been much further ahead in today's game.
Shaq literally bitch slapped the drive right out of 'Tag.
We would have quite a few rings if we had Vlade.
lakers would've never gotten kobe.
Yes, and so we would have cleaned up on 96-99 titles, maybe more, and then the DWill teams would have advanced past the Lakers and onto the title in 2008-2010, then we would have retained Deron because he wanted to stay and won a title with Hayward, then Hayward would’ve stayed for the same reason when we drafted Mitchell and won 3 titles just now.
Nah, Dwill/Booz would've needed Marc Gasol to go past Lakers. If we drafted Marc instead of Fess, Lakers would be screwed *2 cuz they ain't getting Pau without Marc.
Blue Edwards and Junie Lewis put the Jazz over the top.
But they presumably wouldn’t have had Kobe.
What people remember from game 6 against the Rockets in 97 is Stockton’s heroics in the 4th quarter culminating in ‘the shot’. But Russell hit a couple of 3 pointers late in the game to get the Jazz back in it. He also shot 40% from 3 that year. You would indeed think they would use that weapon a bit more.
Ostertag was lazy and inconsistent. He had the talent but didn't put in the effort. Even he admits this and regrets not putting in the work.
I don’t disagree. But back in those days they showed very little NBA on tv where I live in Europe. Quite exceptionally they did show about 20 minutes of highlights of that game 6 on some sports programme. I taped it (yes, on a vcr) and watched it 3or 4 times that night and probably a dozen more times that week. Probably my strongest and best memory as a Jazz fan. And Ostertag was good that game and helped us get to the finals. Lazy and inconsistent, but he came through that one game I’ll always remember.
Naaahhhhhhh!!!
What lake? It’s disappeared.
By the time jazz reached the finals Stockton was heading down hill fast. Malone carried those teams.
