Jazz — New Bad Boys?

Not the whole team, but the 3 primary Utah guards remind me of the great Piston guard trio of the Bad Boy Era—Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, and Vinnie Johnson—which is so promising. No matter what combination of the three is on the court they are dangerous for 48 minutes. Clarkson is easily the new “Microwave.” Mitchell is a more athletic (and ball dominant) Dumars, but will similar size and all around skill level. And, while Conley is not a great as Thomas, he is proving to be the reliable leader on the court and the teacher off the court. I am hopeful this trio has the ability to continue to make noise this season and in a deep playoff run. If only they still had Crowder because then the Jazz would have their Laimbeer. : )
 
No Lambeer = No Bad Boys.

I hated Lambeer. I thought he was dirty, and an irresponsible player. I distinctly remember his last statement against Malone, a clothesline foul in their last regular season meeting. Malone had no response to it, and it had the aire of being the final commentary (so to speak) on the infamous Malone foul on Isaiah Thomas years earlier.

That said, Laimbeer was absolutely a champion. His devotion to winning was unquestionable. This team doesn’t have an a$$hole of his caliber.

Flamethrower is a better nickname than microwave.

I've said for a while we need an *******... Jae was great at it. He'd find some reason to get chippy every other night. Joe is an agitator but not physical enough to be the ******* we need.

I hated the Bad Boy Pistons so I will not co-sign the comparison even if it is accurate (as it relates to our back court).

How about Lance Stephenson?
 
The 17-18 season when you'd have Crowder, Jerebko and Ingles on the court at the same time was Utah's closest version of the Bad Boys - those guys together took joy in ****ing with the other team.

There is a fine line between headcase and *******... we also would need someone that can make the rotation. Jae was a perfect mix. A Morris brother could be it but they trend more towards headcase.

We need the modern version of Matt Barnes.

You want to trend away from headcase and you suggest Matt Barnes?
 
Not a whole lotta tough guys in the league that I think can fill the role. James Johnson if he was still good at basketball would be one... Tate in Houston could be one... just has the right build, mindset, and apparently he got into it with Harden in practice. They ain't giving him up though.
