He's decreased his shots per game by 3 over the last 2 months. He's almost entirely stopped leaking out on the break in order to collect defensive rebounds. When he drives, he never goes all the way to the basket, always passes, and 90 percent of the time passes out for long range jump shots...

Both would get picked up by contending teams. Both would benefit more from playing meaningful games that would help contending teams see their value as an FA acquisition next year and/or resign with the teams who pick them up. And on the flip side, of course, we get young players more time and...

Locke is a master apologist for Hayward, and I just want to make sure I have them all recorded. The reasons I've picked up: 1. Hayward has struggled being the number one option (never mind that no team ever schemes against him) 2. Hayward is better when he gets assisted baskets (Locke...

Not much time to post, but I've lurked, watched the games, and I have a few thoughts. The Tank: I see some consternation about this, but I think Lindsey has this under control. First, he knew Ty wouldn't get anything out of this team and the recent "success" doesn't change that. Second...

This is really not a dig at Sap who I love. I also genuinely believe he's a starter in the league. And even though I think the problem is Ty more than anything else, moving Sap to the bench is the best short term move we can make to jumpstart the offense. 1. Sap is struggling, and making...

Since the glorious SA win: We have averaged 88 points a game. Opponents have averaged 98. The 98 is not good. But the 88 is inept. Just on pure scoring stats, that ranks us LAST. What we are seeing is scouting. Teams are killing our break and daring us to beat them with half court...

look about as good as us against the Spurs. By no means are we as good as the Thunder, but they got tortured on the pick and roll tonight just like we did. They've been incredibly stymied on offense just like we were. And they're finding out the hard way the Spurs are completely indefensible...

This is General NBA, I know. But maybe it's Jazz related insofar as it shows that Ty, as a rookie, was really in a tough spot trying to outcoach Pop. In our series, Pop scouted out our convoluted flex cuts, overdefended them to stall our offense, and then let his own offense slice and dice...

At first I couldn't understand why Hollins didn't shift Allen to Hayward so Gay could have the night off on defense. Then I saw his genius. Allen literally didn't guard Bell. He'd make a token effort to run at Bell and make a loud sound if he was going to shoot, but he mostly played the...

Listening now, and Boler is saying BIG announcement coming in 2 minutes. I'm guessing this thread will be very anticlimactic. But that's what I just heard.

Hey, what's one more Jimmer thread, right? Skip to the last paragraph if you don't feel like committing another 3 minutes of your life to Jimmer. The link: https://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/30321/will-jimmers-skills-translate-to-next-level

For anyone who wants a break from what Enes Kanter might, or might not have eaten for breakfast, I came across this primer on the CBA Situation. This is the most concise, simple breakdown I've seen, and nicely annotated if you want to read the supplemental articles. Unfortunately, it's only...

In all the microanalysis of who we should or shouldn't draft, trading Bell for absolutely anything should be priority 1a. There's a good reason for this besides the fact he completely sucks. Bell's only worth is playing 20 minutes backing up whatever hero we have playing the 2. And he...

we still have a chance to fight." It could not be said any better than this. Just call him Big Poet. Big Al can be in my rowboat any time. Cue the boat jokes and the funny pictures. The playoffs start today and I'm jacked up.

Can anyone imagine this article being written about the Jazz? https://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/miamiheat/post/_/id/4285/a-birds-eye-view-of-the-heats-defense I'm watching our defense this last week and I realize we really have no game to game program. Our defensive philosophy? Guard...

Raja Bell's per48 stats in Scoring, Rebounding, Assists, and Steals amongst 2 guards. And that's out of 43. 70 guys get listed for PER. Raja is currently running 60th in that race. That translates into 30 minutes on the Jazz. Which leads me to my question: Is there any chance we can get...

I think we might see a nice improvement in our first quarter woes mainly due to scheduling. This is simplistic since it doesn't take road games or matchups into account, but up until Boston the best efficiency defense we face is Atlanta at 12th. Minnesota: 27th Portland: 14th LA...

This thread is for KOC. But everyone else can look at it, too. GS is about to lose Anthony Morrow because it will put them into the LT. They would love to shed Biedrins but his injuries have eliminated that possibility. They currently have Biedrins, Lee, Udoh, Gadzuric, and Radmanovic (if...

With all the S&T talk, it seems a basic primer on the Boozer situation would help. The Jazz have 3 options with Boozer: Sign him, let him walk for nothing (cap space), or work an S&T. The S&T strategy the Jazz can take differs depending on the teams they are working with. Under The Cap...
