Utah Jazz Basketball

I think international ball will help Mitchell much more than those pickup games everyone is doing that look like they are setup to draw social media attention more than beneficial practice.

Bogdanovic and Jazz marriage will be one that both sides will love and last long. It will help Snyder execute his plan easier.

Ingles and Mitchell will have less usage rates but will be more effective and will have smarter decisions with less pressure on.

Conley is gonna love the system and the fanbase.

Gobert will go for 3-peat in DPOY to nail his name alongside Dwight Howard and Ben Wallace (correct me if I’m wrong)

Last year was puking the ill out, this year will be the relief after the first puke.
 
I think the Jazz beat the clips in the WCF. In no small part to heroics from Conley and O’Neale.

Jazz might lose to the Sixers but it’ll be two years of Jazz-Sixers and likely end 1-1. With a decade of Mitchell/Simmons to come.

Ultimately I think Gobert/Mitchell bring the Jazz two chips with Mitchell being here for a 3rd.
...dont stop I'm almost there

So I imagine you think O'Neale will be gaurding Leonard. We know Ingles can handle George but Kawhi will most likely be a problem.
 
You don't have to share your wife's stuff, but it would be cool if you did. I know not every comedian is for everyone and the crowd can make or break a performance (unless you're Burr in Philly and roast the crowd and city into liking you. Haha)

Anyway, my late brother was a comedian. He was sober for a year before he relapsed and died or was killed by his comedian friend that checked him out of the hospital. It's another story, I don't mind telling if anyone is interested.

Anyway, this comic talk got me thinking of him and I watched this video.

Rough crowd.



At his funeral I said he had a unique talent at making those who felt comfortable feel uncomfortable and those who felt uncomfortable, feel comfortable and welcomed.

I miss the dude. He had a big heart and everyone, I mean everyone loved him. He was the state MVP in football and lead in multiple plays (drama roles - he was drama nut.)

Thinking about trying stand up. I did it one time after he died at Wiseguys and was super nerve racking, yet therapeutic.


Went down that rabbit hole tonight. Gawd, I miss him.

Thanks for sharing.

Not gonna share my wife’s stuff on this forum, though. Way too many haters, in general; and NAOS-haters, in specific.
 
Bill Burr is one of the greatest comics ever. Dude is on every top comic list. I'm sure less funny, less successful comedians think he's average - that's cute.

When compared to the best, he is average at best. If you have him in the same echelon as Hicks and Carlin, then you are severely malnourished.

I don't even think it can be robustly argued that he qualifies as a poor man's Sam Kinison.
 
Is this still the Jazz Basketball thread? I don't remember a Hicks or Carlin on the team.

Paging @homeytennis, are these some new 2-way contracts?

Remember how sometimes the jazz do three pointers?
I like it when they do three pointers into the hoop

I don’t remember it much last year, but I think I remember it this year! Conley, BojIngles, Oni. It’s gunna be good!

I am gonna miss Korver's 3pointers though. I know he is too old and useless when it matters most but his shooting is just beautiful.
 
Will Utah lead the league in wide open 3pt shots this year? We were top 5 in attempts, but top 10 in %. It was an issue for us in the playoffs though.
Thoughts?

I liked Korver more this 2nd time around. The first time I was annoyed that he passed up shots to keep his percentages high towards the end of the season.
His Players Tribune game will be missed.

He had a two week stint that kept us afloat when we were struggling and several guys noted working with him helped. He is welcome back any day... he’s also handsome AF... not gay but I’d prolly hit that.

I guess we will see how much of that was due to the fact that opposing teams prefered us to shoot 3's and clogged the paint instead. I am sure the percentage of those made will be much better.

They dropped under so much on Ricky Rubio pick and rolls and you could help off Favs from the perimeter. A lot of the shots we got were by design and not just because we had 3 non shooters on the floor. We will shoot a lot of threes this year. If they have to go over on Conley and DM then Rudy gets dunks, they get layups, or we end up starting the blender or getting an open three.
 
Did anyone read the Utah Jazz article on Realgm? Implied that Jazz fans only like white players, while at the same time insulting Mark Eaton (as a low bar). It focused on Ostertag, and missed a lot regarding our disappointment of him. He had the ability to be so much more until the physical altercation with Shaq.

A blurb:

But if Greg Ostertag is remarkable, it is for representing the stark limits of Jazz fans’ capacity to appreciate players who looked like them. They wanted him to be Mark Eaton, and they would have exalted him had he cleared that relatively low bar, but instead he was a source of frustration and disappointment.
