the jazz's first pick will likely be #14, as i imagine that either the jazz or the Ws will fall out of the playoffs. but i don't think trey burke makes it to 14. might have to settle for texas' guy.

people have forgotten (because it makes a better joke that way), but ostertag had some NBA-level skills. with him it was always about consistency.

their usage is only close because gordon and paul occasionally attempt to pass the ball, so their turnovers are higher (which factor into their usage %). the ball stops when it hits the left post on offense and keeps everybody else on the floor from being a factor. once it goes to al, the D...

huh? when did they put him in a bunch of PnRs? i think they could tell right away he wasn't a great P&R decision-maker so they took him out of that. synergy agrees with me; it has al only acting as the roll man on 8.9% of his overall "used" possessions - less than two plays per game, and usually...

he's made nominal progress, but that's about it. there are still a huge number of possessions where the balls never touches anybody's hands except al and the initiator on the strong side wing for most/all of the shot clock. and here's the thing... even if he scores on that play, it's just not...

that logic ignores the ways in which the two guys are different. if you make your decision based on money/trade value terms, you'll forget that the two guys are very different in basketball terms. paul plays better off the ball, defends more positions and can help you win games without eating...

i tend not to look game-by-game but rather look at groups of games. cle, was - the only way they lose anything here is if they're rusty from all the time off. @lal - highly unlikely we sweep the lakers on the season. plus, they're all healthy now. ind, hou, noh, por- i would guess they lose...

jose is a legit, full-time shot creator, something we don't have on our roster even when mo is healthy. he starts while mo is hurts and then after mo gets back, you stagger them so that mo starts, jose comes in and leads the subs (imagine how much we'd excelerate the development of the 4 if they...

this is a tougher game than some are making it out to be. atlanta is a good home team and will be hungry. it is a can-win game, but far from a should-win game.

that'll teach 'im.

you just named two coaches who left on their own terms and have been highly sought-after since, and one guy who was fired in houston but has had several opportunities to get back in that he hasn't taken advantage of out of respect for the way his friends were handled in those teams. still, i...

mellow's right, there are some challenges but he's not untradable. i think the problem is that right now the asking price is a little too high. as the next 8 weeks pass, the hope is that the jazz will get more realistic about what two months' worth of al jefferson will get them, or one of the...

they might break into coverage on ESPN for this.

agree that their roster has some obvious flaws, but if they were overachieving, he wouldn't have been shown the door. not that i'm saying skiles is a bad coach, i just hate the logic that the devil you don't know if always, irrefutably better than than the devil you know. right now, ty is at...

this is a hilarious poll. guy just got fired because he hated his players and his players hated him, and he was totally unwilling to change his system to the personnel that he had... and yet 60+ percent of you would rather have him? talk about throwing out the baby with the bath water. also...

he's the best wing defender we have by far. not everybody has to score 15+ to earn their keep.

at least the team offense flowed much better with booz. he realized that the jazz were more dangerous when the ball was moving, so it didn't stick to his hands for half the shot clock. jefferson is clearly better as an on-ball post defender. both guys are laughable at help D. boozer was a...

the problem with machado is that he costs 2+ million... the prorated min salary he himself will earn, plus the 1.8M remaining on bell's deal that we'd have to eat to sign someone off the waiver wire. at some point, the jazz are going to have to relent on the principle that they don't want to...

this. it worked because dallas had to guard 5 guys instead of 4. burks defended well, drove aggressively, and got to the line... all things he could have done playing any position. he did nothing really PG-esque at all. also agree with you and kwb about the trading block comments. maybe teams...

funny thing is, he didn't even really play PG in the traditional sense, so all the radio talk and twittergasms about how burks at PG "worked" is a little silly. basically he brought the ball up across midcourt and then passed to the wing and let foye/hayward initiate. not exactly steve nash type...
