    Two years in a row...

    The team with the best record in the league is ousted in the 2nd round after blowing a 2-0 series lead. As painful as it's been being a Jazz fan this season, for some strange reason, watching CP3/Booker/Phoenix totally melt down in game 7 made me feel better. The Jazz had a penchant for...

    WTF...

    ESPN just did an article ranking all of the sweet sixteen teams by "tradition". For Gonzaga, they name Adam Morrison as the "All-Time Program Icon". I'm speechless...This has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen on ESPN...

    https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-all-star-weekend-odds-smith-dunk-contest-favorite-klay-leads-3-point-group/ "Smith has put up the most highlights of any of the competitors, so it's easy to see why he's the favorite." LOL...whoever made these odds must only watch Maverick's games.

    Delonte West?

    I'd like the Jazz to sign him just for the LOLz. Play him 48 minutes against the Celtics...just to remind their "star" that once a ***** always a *****.

    How to stop this **** from continually happening to small market teams...

    I think the CBA rules need to be changed. Here's an idea: A player can never become an unrestricted free agent, as long as he is with the team that drafted him. The team that drafts you will always have the right to match any other offers. This will prevent teams like Cleveland ("The...

    Things I learned about this team during the playoffs...

    1. Gordon Hayward: I am of the belief that you aren't a true star in the NBA until you "make your bones" in the playoffs. Hayward stepped up his game in the playoffs and proved me wrong. I thought he would shrivel up and disappear once the best players in the league would throw everything...
