Portland way more talented than Jazz?

cowhide said:
Yes, I think Portland is more talented and experienced. They play harder than the Jazz. I am surprised by how good they are but when you play hard and as a team good things happen.

Portland matches up well with LA. They have always given them a hard time. With the additions of Wallace and Crawford, I am not that surprised they handled the Lakers.

The Jazz need to look at Portland and continue to add athletic guys who are tough and can create for themselves. Yes, I would love having Batum on the Jazz. CJ for Batum get it down KOC. LOL.

Agreed... Teams like Portland & Denver have so much more experience than Utah.
Wait till Favors, Hayward, Kanter, & Burks gain NBA confidence & I think we can see this team play like them say 2nd half of next season.

I hope it is closer to the 2nd half of this season.

I'll bet before we had him you would have listed him at least five and possibly ten places higher. Familiarity breeds contempt.

I'm not sure I'd have ranked him that much higher, but I agree 100% with your premise - We always think the grass is greener somewhere else. As far as some of the guys go on that list, the reason I'd want them over Harris is how our team is currently constructed. Straight up, I like Harris better, but for what this team needs (as Locke would say a ball mover, not a ball stopper) I think the Calderons and Holidays would fit better.

You started ANOTHER thread just to show us how slow on the uptake you are. Do you have syphilis?

Holy crap just don't read my threads. Your obsession and stalking of me is creepy.

Also most of my threads always have 3 plus pages.

Suck on those apples.
 
I don't know about talent, but I do know that overall, they are a whole **** load better than the Jazz.

It's about time they started to do better. I was starting to feel sorry for them after all their injuries. Speaking about teams, have you seen the MAVS lately? HAHA

You felt sorry for a billionaire tycoon whose only way to succeed in the NBA is to outbid small market teams? Interesting.
 
they have talent, yes, but a lot of it is that they're guys are willing to do the little things to be good. they're sixth in defensive efficiency and fifth in rebound rate -- those are talent indicators but effort indicators. you see a team like that outperforming expectations by just playing hard and it reminds you how much of coaching is just salesmanship. he gets those guys to buy into the vision and suddenly he has a powerhouse team even with a middling roster. hard not to respect that.
 
They literally have everything- Experience, athletes, shooters, perimeter and low post defenders, creators, great coach, low post scorer.

More talented? No. Currently better players? Yes.

Huh? Have you watched LA or Gerald Wallace play? Wallace is a top 7 SF and many believe LA to have MVP potential. Layer on Batum being a stud and the rest of the supporting cast, and they're a helluva team.

Yeah, Jazz have talent but it's all potential. Can't take anything away from Portland over what you're dreaming will happen.

Why are you responding to this thread if you made fun of me for creating it?

Harris is at or around 10th best in the league. 20th would put him around the likes of Jeff Teague, and Eric Maynor. Don't kid your self.

Miles has the same efficiency numbers as Crawford.

You are a little too high on Portland buddy.

Im not about to jump on a Portland bandwagon any time soon, but Harris as a top 10 point guard? WOOOOOWWW. Makes me wonder if you really can name 10th point guards in the league without Google. I don't have the money to buy what your smokin on. Let me guess your one of those to rate Hayward a top 15 player right?
