Sarah was definitely feeling good. Tony said he was drinking Crystal Light. Andy didn't say, but seemed to get much more jolly as the conversation rolled.

Why wasn't this reported back in Feb? Access? It's weird how "reporting" has changed over the years. Before, reporters probed for stories. Now? Reporters hide stories out of fear of losing access. Their job shouldn't require them being friends with players or providing the franchise with propaganda while burying important news and views about the team.Why do they need to put on a happy face? They’re reporters. They could have probably eased their stress by not feeling it’s their job to attempt to change the direction the river flows.
Basically the entire team outside of Rudy could have given more effort on defense so I guess the entire team quit huh?
I’m really ready to move forward as much as possible, but my read is and was for MONTHS exactly that the team quit. Like… I thought that was common knowledge. It’s the primary reason the fan base has been so up in arms, at least from everything I’ve seen.Yes, the entire team quit on him. Poor Rudy.
That’s not actually Deron Williams. Hope that helps.
I really thought they were about to let a lot loose, but then realized a lot of national people were listening.Sarah was definitely feeling good. Tony said he was drinking Crystal Light. Andy didn't say, but seemed to get much more jolly as the conversation rolled.
I can't imagine that Andy/Sarah's sources in the building are very happy with them.I really thought they were about to let a lot loose, but then realized a lot of national people were listening.
I also thought it was hilarious how they just left Eric Walden out until he started listening and they noticed he wasn’t involved lol.
He's one of the most personally likeable players in Jazz history. Like I really want him to succeed, even if his chucking can frustrate me at times. Still, there were times where it seemed like at least he wasn't afraid to shoot and get the be Jazz back in a gameClarkson seems like a kind of guy that is filling the Joe role. He’s being a company man and repping the ****** jerseys and making himself available. He seems to be the kind of guy that tries to get along with everyone. Not sure how accountability might come into play with a new coach, but he did understand his role under Quin and he did what he was told to do. He’s the kind of veteran that makes sense to keep.

I didn't fully catch that part, but I think one of the takeaways may be that Andy suggests tanking. He thinks Clarkson getting more minutes is great for tanking and that Beasely getting more is less good for tanking. (Maybe?)Yeah, I didn't get that either. I think people are going to be happy with Beasly, if he sticks around. Dude can create his own shot and he shoots the three much better than Clarkson.
That sounds about right. I was one drink behind Sarah.I didn't fully catch that part, but I think one of the takeaways may be that Andy suggests tanking. He thinks Clarkson getting more minutes is great for tanking and that Beasely getting more is less good for tanking. (Maybe?)

Beasley will have a career year if we're tanking. Might be able to help us get higher in the lottery if he goes off for 20+ a night. (Via trade)Yes, essentially Beasley starting doesn’t help us be bad.

I don’t think anyone needs to write any obituaries or go full-on critical. My issue is more when something is patently obvious and someone is actively out there saying everything’s fine. I have no problem with taking many angles and even suppressing a lot of negativity. It’s when it’s spun in an almost opposite direction that it’s frustrating. I know it’s not everyone and I’m speaking generally here. I think in general they do a good job and all have value, but there’s gotta be an expectation that if you proactively step in and say that these aren’t the droids we’re looking for, that you’re bound to take some heat for that. In the same way that you may take heat from the players/franchise by airing dirty laundry, you’ll also take heat from the fans for saying the sky isn’t blue.I will say to all those asking why the writers weren't out there pounding the drum incessantly that the season was a lost cause from January on: I think the writers also recognized that the players wanted it to change (they explicitly said that the players hoped it would change and were making efforts as individuals, but that it just never came together for the group) and that maybe there was some chance that it could (ie Boston). They probably didn't want to write the obituary until it was actually clear that a turnaround was not going to happen. (Plus, it's probably a little harder in the moment to recognize when the discord has passed beyond the normal discord that every team experiences to something more fatal for the chances of the team. Those judgments are always better made retrospectively.)
Rudy was a bad teammateDonovan’s every bit the baby I always said he was.
