Way too early prediction after 2 games

I agree 100%. I know nothing about the pants or the slur usage, and I was once married to a very fine Dutch girl. Never had it better. Cook, clean, fantastic everything. She was a liberal, 100%. A political science major and an activist. Damn, those were good times.

I had no idea what it took to be a good husband.

Excellent conversion of the language there. I hope everybody starts using it like you do.

I think our coach gets a lot of things wrong. Doesn't know how to coach real talent, doesn't give up on lost bets. Donvan and Exum.

Donovan has a great team leader sort of charm, and apparently some patience with our coach. I hope Conley gets some good advice on all that coaching problem.

Let’s move this weird/awkward **** out of my nice little thread please
 
Well, after 4 games last year we were 0-4! This year we are 3-1! What is disenchanting to me is the way we played the end of last year, smooth, orderly, a real joy to watch....compared to this year, discombobulated, herky jerky, and almost unwatchable. The results indicate otherwise, but I sure do miss the Rubio, Favors, Rudy offense that produced a record number of dunks both individually and collectively, as well as 25-30 assists per game! We beat the Suns last night with 10 more turnovers than assists! Can you explain that? Our hot shot from Indiana is playing and shooting very well as is Donovan. Rudy looks dorky out there, but the team is killing everybody at the free throw line and you've got to like that! Our defense is very good, if not excellent! Can we continue to produce wins with this disorganized offensive scheme? I have my doubts.

We actually started off 2-2 last year. As for the rest of your post, just have some patients and give it some time. Things aren't quite clicking like they need to be on offense just yet but that's to be expected with all the new players learning the system and finding chemistry playing together. I have no doubt the ball movement will come, Conley and Ingles will start hitting their shots and Rudy will start getting more lobs and dunks.

We didn't play well at the end of last season. We were terrible offensively in the playoffs. We couldn't hit a shot to save our lives. We lost in the first round.


If you mean the last regular season games, sure. But keep in mind we had the easiest schedule in the NBA to close the season.

We played who was on our schedule and we destroyed most of those teams with precision passing, ball movement and fundamentally sound basketball! I suspect with a couple added shooters like the kid from Indiana, we would have excelled again this year with basketball played the way it was intended to be played! Our current 3-1 record is very good, but surprising when you look at the way we've played offensively. Our defense has saved our necks.....and hopefully will continue that way! Our schedule is tougher this next week, and if our offense doesn't improve we will lose a couple of those games despite our defense.

I dont really care about how we win or some arbitrary way you think it should looks. We werent very good last year when it mattered and the reason was mainly Rubio. Our offense was not good last year with Rubio at PG and he also hurt our defense. Losing Favors sucks but we could not have got the kid from Indiana unless we let him go.
 
Way too early prediction...

If all of our key players are healthy in the playoffs, we tighten our offense and lower the turnover totals, and we rebound...

Championship parade bishes
 
Assuming Rudy stays healthy we have a historically good defense this year. 3 games in and our defense is other world good so far.

Once we get our legs under us and our players in rhythm I have no worries about our offense being really good.

So, what I am saying is Champion Chip if healthy.

My way too early prediction...jazz struggle through December, turn it on in the new year to battle back to 6 or 7 in the west. Rudy gets hurt and jazz fall to 11th. He comes back to battle them into 9th and out of draft position.

We will have to get better at the backup 5 to really do anything this year.

I can’t believe I’m typing this but Bradley may need some burn. Davis is garbage.

K, I probably won’t log back in till April/draft talk time so I’ll check back on this then.

love/peace
