what identity do you want the jazz to have?

[Fabtrey]

2004 Pistons.
"Going to work every day" was their motto, or something similar!
har-nosed, blue collar team with players having a "team first" mentality.

A small SEAL team working beyond enemy lines, kewl, professional, tough.
Enjoying immense firepower and members' roles are well rehearsed.
so noone hesitates but executes.

add-0n: on a personal note, this is my philosophy, too. Here and there I've lost battles, a plethora of them to tell the truth. I was robbed of a GREAT government post for example, for I chose not to enjoy clientel relations, which I could have easily managed to enjoy.
But in all those endavours and encounters, I have always gone down battling.
Did my best and went home with a clear conscience.
That is what I expect from my neighbours, relatives, my assistants.
You cannot always get it done. But if you give your 100% you will get it done most prolly.

Take Kanter for example. He doesnot have to block every shot but just TRY to move your *** and be there. pUSH SOMEONE, ELBOW that SOB if he is BULLYiNG OUR GUARDS, SHOW SOME PASSiON, ffs (mandatory caps lock fail)
If he can do that he will earn money and RESPECT.

i love 04 pistons. what a team. what a coach. what a chemistry. and a leader of men emerged that year - chauncey billups. that front court was so underrated too. back court was awesome. and tayshaun was sick defensively.

if trey burke can be a chauncey minime, i would be delighted. let's not forget it took chauncey a while to really 'get it'.

I want our team to play like assholes. I want them to play dirty, in a sneaky way. I don't want teams to be excited to play us, I want them to dread it.

Call it physical, tough, gritty, whatever…I just want them to play like a bunch of assholes. Use those elbows and knees as much as they can.

like bad boys? i would love to see that. but man, i think we don't have that ruthless killer like isiah. trey can't be that guy yet because trey hasn't earn that stripe. but wow, if we can have some nasty reputation, i would really love that. how awesome it would be if teams don't want to come to slc because they know it would leave a mark?

I would love a bad boys team but I don't think we have the players to do that.

favors, Hayward and burks are to passive.
