Passing on Tony Parker for Raul Lopez when everyone thought we were taking Parker. Because we wanted a guy we could stash for a couple years.
Trading up for Trey Burke.
Losing Hayward for nothing.
Boozer was listed at 280 in college (junior year) and 258 for the Jazz. Don’t know how reliable those numbers are, but I thought he looked lighter and more chiseled with the Jazz. Also quicker. More explosive. Didn’t lack for strength.
I remember an interview with Larry Miller one year after a very quiet trade deadline. Someone asked Larry how close the Jazz had come to actually making a trade. He said they had gotten as far as bringing a player in for a physical before a trade fell through. Nobody expected that answer, and it...
My memory is that the Jazz did a lot more running under Frank. We all thought Frank was a genius when he slowed it down and forced the Lakers into a half court game in the '88 playoffs, and pushed them to the brink of elimination. I still consider that (sadly) to be one of the greatest...
To all the posters that say the play at the end was not a foul (I could go either way on it personally), I have an honest question. I'm genuinely curious. I'm fine if the NBA wants to say it's not a foul if you get the ball first and yada yada. But in your heart-of-hearts, if the tables were...
I always thought this play was a little suspicious. The way Brooks suddenly lunges into Mike Conley after he lands doesn't look natural to me. It doesn't look like he was falling. I think his momentum would have taken him a different direction. Plus, I'm not sure why he fell. Maybe he just has...
If the Clippers were at 100%, I would have expected us to give them a close game ... down to the wire. But as it stands, I'm expecting a really close game.
Not to add additional pressure on the front office, but the next 12 hours most likely determines whether I even pay attention to the team next year. I've been mostly checked out since the Conley trade. They have a chance to put a compelling product on the floor again, but it would take a master...
Ainge wouldn't be my first choice, but this is why I'm excited to have him. I'm excited for the trades that he will NOT make. And I'm excited for the contracts he will NOT offer to players. Right now, that's enough for me.
I hate our front office!! I really hate them!! A small market team can't squander draft picks. They are our life blood. Watch what Sam Presti is doing.
Tracy McGrady. Had special talent and athletic ability. Wasn't cut down in his prime by injuries. But never won a play-off series (not counting San Antonio where he was a non-factor).
Some might consider this an overreaction, but I don't think it's harsh enough!! What kind of moron doesn't even know that they have internet in prison!!!??? The bar on this site is pretty low! It makes me so angry!
This Yazzie guy is currently in the SL county jail, not prison. But still!! Come on!
The "not sports report" on 1280. I love it because I know FOR SURE that I can change the station without missing anything interesting. The entire afternoon show should be given the same name, if they're being honest. Listening to Gordon Monson sometimes is about as interesting as listening to my...
