    the real terroist the: TSA

    The policy is obviously ridiculous. Aside from the invasion of privacy stuff, I would guess that the exposure to radiation will cause more premature deaths than any potential terrorist nonsense thwarted by these measures.

    Rebounding

    I read a study once that showed that weight, not height, correlated best with rebounding success. That probably explains the rebounding prowess of guys like Love, who's somewhat short for his position but stocky, and DeJuan Blair.

    This years Defence Appriciation Thread

    Allowing fewer possessions doesn't improve defense. Offensive rebounds don't count as new possessions; they count as a continuation of the previous one.

    This years Defence Appriciation Thread

    This many posts and no one has pointed out that the Jazz haven't improved defensively? Last year: 102.9 pts. per 100 possessions, 11th in the NBA. This year: 103.5 pts. per 100 possessions, 11th in the NBA

    Best toning books/workouts

    Toning is b.s. There is muscle & there is fat covering said muscle. If you want to look better, you need to increase the former & decrease the latter. The best beginner's workout you can do to become stronger and, consequently, look better is Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength. Follow that...

    Can the C.J. Miles experiment please end?

    If Miles has a PER of 15.0 at season's end, I think the Jazz will be no worse than the #3 seed.

    Does anyone remember this video?

    It was first uploaded to YouTube several years ago. I think the title was Williams & Boozer or something like that. It was set to sort of a jazzy tune and the guy who made the video inserted a swooshing sort of sound effect every time one of them dunked. I've been trying to find it for like an...

    Doufos is gone

    Re: the TPE rules. I think the Jazz are allowed to include additional players, but they can't take back more $$ than the value of their TPE. That is, even though they're shipping out the equivalent of roughly $14.5MM in salary ($13TPE + ~$1.5 in Koufos) they can only receive, at most...

    Shannon Brown = Dantae Jones

    First of all, his name is Dahntay Jones. I think that, in a vacuum, Brewer is a better player than Brown. That said, the Jazz will need some long range shooting, so you could argue Brown might fit the current Jazz squad better than Ronnie. What's more, Brown could potentially play some PG as...

    https://www.deseretnews.com/article/700047695/Utah-Jazz-believed-to-have-traded-for-Al-Jefferson.html So psyched about this, if true.

    James Augustine. Pros Cons Dwills teammate.

    I went to high school with Auggie. He's a great guy, though Im not sure he can play big minutes on a contender.

    #9 + Millsap for Love + #23

    Love is a better player than Millsap. In fact, Love's PER was on par with Boozer's this past season. He's a much better rebounder (rebound % of ~21% vs. 14%) than Millsap and, as has been mentioned, is also a superior passer. In addition, he'd be cheaper for the next two years and more likely to...
