[Cappy_Smurf]

ESPN shoulda fired a couple of these clowns with everybody else.

I'd never heard of Tim MacMahon before this season, but I really like him. He showed us quite a lot of love.

 

[Revolution 9]

So we are just remaining the same if not a little worse? SMH.

lol literally Brad Doolittle's plan, but then he also has us in the west finals within 3 years so...

Doolittle was talking about doing nothing about Exum and Hood, just waiting to see how they do next season before making a decision.

 

[Avery]

We will need Hayward to go the finals.

 

[Stoked]

No clue what ESPN was thinking.

For example. Keeping Mark Jackson over Stein?

Wrong.
Better heath and more experience.

 

[fishonjazz]

Really positive outlook for the jazz.
Majority think Hayward and hill will be back and think we will be in the western conference finals soon.

 

[Stoked]

Wrong.
Better heath and more experience.

Plus coach growth and player growth.

If the Jazz brought this exact same roster they win more games and challenge the Warriors better. There is a ceiling on this team as is currently constructed that is lower than the Warriors but higher than the Jazz's current level.
