Power Rankings

[ncoloradojazz]

You added to aging players, JJ and Diaw, a serviceable starter but not a great starter by any means. And adding Exum who people must forget was really raw still.. Jazz fans are in for a rude awakening after first 2 months of basketball.

Not to mention a healed Alex Burks as well. Come to think of it, this might not be a half bad starting five...

1. Dante
2. Hill
3. Burks
4. Johnson
5. Diaw

The depth the Jazz have added this off season, between the Hill trade, the two free agents, and the recovery from injuries, is nothing short of amazing.

That midget is an all star and another multiple time all star joined the squad. The Jazz have zero all stars. Enjoy the pre season rankings fella because it is the highest you will be all year.

he's an "all star" in the eastern conference who gives a flying trapdoodle about "all stars" A midget ain't going to lead anyone to a title you pathetic troll. Add Al Horford = cute team Lots of wins Not going to scare any of the top teams.


So Hack .. how about if the Jazz finish the season 4th or better in the west you pi$$ off and never post again. I'm sure you have the balls to take that challenge ...

Yep. Replace Hill with Isaiah and replace Favors with Horford. Now the Jazz have 2 AllStars and look out, we're significantly better! Thinks absolutely no one with any serious basketball IQ.

Your use of the "All Star" criteria is simpleminded. Made worse by the Eastern players. Hey, we had Mo Williams, there was the Jazz AllStar! Sure we were competing for a title those years. At least you could use a better yard-stick like All-NBA.

Or I guess you could be trolling and feigning ignorance.

 

[Getting Traded]

Favors is better than Horford, and Hayward is better than Thomas -- I would venture to say we have several guards better than Thomas.

Define midget because I think late 80's Isiah Thomas and Tony parker might disagree.

Tony Parker is 6'2 and Thomas was at least 6'1.

Yeah, when referring to current IT, I think both those guys prefer the term "little people". Possibly dwarf or munchkin.

massive difference between someone who is 5'9 and 6'1 or 2

So it's always the tallest guy that wins championships? Point is that a guard can absolutely lead a championship team. And the guard doesn't have to be 6'9" to do it.

But what teams with short point guards are winning championships lately?

Where you find this picture of a young Steve Nash?

Well the spurs did not long ago. The point is there is no universal NBA law that a shorter than average point guard can't lead a championship team.

ummm... Parker?

oh. yeah, didn't read this first.

Avery Johnson was the leader of the Spurs ??

again i'm talking about guards under 6 ft. You really don't think somoene 4-5 inches shorter than Tony Parker is eventually going to be not as effective at the very highest level of competition ?

blurgh double post

 

[Qman]

It isn't the height, it is the ability to play defense.

I don't think of tony Parker as a short point guard. I think if Chris Paul as short, Isaiah Thomas is short. Those dude are six feet or under. Parker is 6'2"
