    I’m logging out for a few months

    I really don’t think this is news/threadworthy, but since I genuinely enjoy interacting with several of you on a regular basis, I thought I would bid you all ado. The first Monday in January is going to bring with it a massive wave of busy-ness, so I’m gonna do myself a favor and reduce my...

    Official: Failure to experiment

    Q's failure to experiment with different combos (e.g. small ball, to accelerate a stalled offense) and different players (ahem! Butler!) is now officially costing us games AND decreasing our chances in the playoffs (when you need to have had practice and game reps). I've complained about this...

    well... predict our record for this 6-game homestand

    Should I continue this tradition by predicting 1-5? 15th vs LAC 17th vs SAS 18th vs WAS 20th vs CHAR 23rd vs MIN 25th vs DAL

    Can we talk about how Quin is ride-or-die for Bogdanovic?

    Quin is getting on my nerves a bit too much lately. Absolutely no good reason to put Bogie out there for the final play of the Cavs game. Every scenario would have been bolstered with Gay in there instead. All this versatility we have needs to be... used..., right?

    Predict our record for this 4-game trip

    I’m gonna be honest here... I’m primed to really overreact to how the jazz play during this road trip. None of the teams are a pushover. If the Jazz don’t elevate their defense, they could lose any one of these games. But if they pull themselves together on both sides of the ball, then every...

    Your top3 reasons we will have a better outcome than last year

    A better outcome means that we at least make the WCF. I’d say it also means than if we are eliminated in the WCF, then we are a tough out. We have to stop the of pattern meltdown-style eliminations as that’s evidence of a mental glitch that’ll keep us from true championship contention. On...

    Help me out.... Butler’s health concerns

    Can we have a brief discussion about (a) what is firmly known and (b) what we think we know ? I’ve been paying too little attention to have this story straight. Would appreciate the help. Tia.

    Lowe’s 10 things has something about a “jazz dilemma”

    Can someone pls share? Can I say again how much I hate that ESPN tucked him behind a paywall... and how I refuse to give subscription money to a platform that will cover something like a minor motorcycle accident by Anthony Davis’s head of security before it will say anything about the Jazz...

    What should happen to Kevin Durant?

    Have you heard about this feud with Michael Rapaport? The league has punished players before for using anti-gay slurs, but this seems particularly egregious. There’s also the fact that he’s now displayed a pattern of behavior on social media. profanity filter on this link, btw...

    LAL and LAC will not be finishing 2 - 3 in the West

    Does this lessen your desire for the #1 seed? This ties into discussions about (a) load management (b) lineup experimentation (getting Oni and Morgan some experience and/or acquiring a player via trade or buyout market and emphasizing his integration). etc

    Oni needs to find consistent minutes

    One of our weak spots is wing defense. Oni needs to be much further along by the time the playoffs arrive. How does he get consistent minutes? i hope they limit Joe’s minutes during the stretch run—so there’s some minutes for Oni. For me, this situation has a triggering resemblance to last...

    Prediction thread: by end of season, what will our three best 5-man combos be?

    We need some prediction threads now that the season is upon us. @silesian says he’s doing his usual contest, so I thought I’d add this to the mix by end of season, what will our three best 5-man combos be? I’m open to what metric or metrics we will use to determine the winner. Let’s discuss...
