In a weird way, that was one of my favorite seasons, the 42-40 one with Arroyo and Kirilenko.

What I'd like to see: PG Sexton/Conley SG Agbaji/Clarkson SF Fontecchio/Beasley PF Markkanen/Olynyk C Vanderbilt/Kessler What I expect (might be leaning towards pessimism): PG Sexton/Conley SG Beasley/Clarkson SF Fontecchio/Agbaji PF Markkanen/Vanderbilt C Olynyk/Kessler

Anyone else feel like Joe Ingles feels a little checked out this season?

I know there's a pay disparity here, and that's important, but it's still strange to me that Conley is the main target of everyone's ire after his relatively solid performance in the bubble, and people seem to be ignoring how much the disappearance of Ingles and Royce hurt us.

24 min, 27 pts, 70% FG, 7/8 3PM.

Ha ok.

Who isn’t Harden beating on our team today?

When will the Jazz ever sign LBJ, Curry, Durant, Harden, Giannis, or Leonard? You are saying you wouldn’t want the Jazz to give the super-max to anyone.

The playoffs are always a bit of a different animal, but I do agree with that game plan overall.

So I agree with you here, but to help with context, he shot around 40% in the last 20 games and probably around 44% in the last 10-12 games (too lazy to do math again). So I don't think our defense is necessarily responsible for him shooting better, but clearly it's not helping all that much...

I agree that was the problem, but I doubt it was the game plan. They should completely shut off his right side, but they were letting themselves get beat badly and not trying to recover.

Even though I’d rather stick to the scheme that got us to the playoffs, I feel there’s a lot of misunderstanding about the strategy we attempted. 1. Harden has a ridiculous “points per possession” rate when he shoots his step back threes. That means that allowing him to get that shot means that...

Don’t.

Let's. Go. Jazz! Been a long weekend working on different projects, but I'm so excited to cap that hard work off with some Jazz playoffs.

Other than this being how a typical player (or you) would feel, what evidence points to this? Favors seems to be very even-keeled and very happy to be here. I haven’t seen anything in his comments or body language or history that indicates he’d want to leave.
