NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread

[fishonjazz]

There isn’t one solution... this is another trap we fall into... “player X is not the answer”. So why get player X? If player X is part of the answer and he costs nothing to get... then you ducking get him. There is a reason he’s available for NOTHING! It’s because he’s flawed... but his strengths might help in a matchup or two. If he was the answer he’d cost more. He was a good enough answer that he makes us better. Does he flip the series? No idea.

Now that's a fair post. I have no problem with you saying "does he flip the series? No idea".
That's not how these posts about Craig are coming across though.

The way Niang was playing in the playoffs he would have been benched... I really don’t have much doubt about it.

Why wasn't he benched for forest then? Or Thomas? Or ersan? They couldn't have been worse right? Ersan even has those magical vet powers that I hear about.

He left Denver because they didn’t give him a deal. He was upset they didn’t offer him a contract. It’s one thing to have an opinion... it’s another to pick **** out of the sky.

Okay, so what are you reasons for thinking he would like it in Utah and fit in? My reasons he would not is comments about racial issues from years ago and rumors about why his qualifying offer was recinded. Why didn't he sign here as a free agent?

Read my most recent post in here. You actually thing quin would play Craig over niang? Lolz

Yes... he shot 28% in the playoffs... he was a turnover and foul machine. Yes I believe Quin would have replaced him. Why do you think Quin and DL didn’t get along? Because Quin felt his options weren’t all that great.

You know what... you clearly have dug in here... I think it’s not all that smart... go ahead and ignore me when I talk about Craig then. If you don’t see the difference between a completely washed vet and a rookie on a two way and Craig then we can’t have a reasonable conversation.

Probably because we didn’t offer him the most money. Not saying he’d love it here but he’d like to get paid to play basketball. I’m sure Milwaukee (where he ended up signing)has a great relationship with black athletes... oh wait.

When you talk about Craig lol. I doubt you will even talk about Craig much if I don't. Like Craig is this big talking point on a jazz fan basketball forum. I think you will be ok to talk about Craig without me ignoring you. In fact, if you stick to things like "maybe he could have helped us" I likely won't even respond since I agree.
Just stay away from things that are more like "I can't believe the jazz didn't get Craig. He would have been huge for us" or "the suns wouldn't be where they are without Craig" things of that nature.

Mods can we change the name of this thread to simply The Torrey Craig thread? Tia


I'm just having fun here guys. No need to get so upset that not every jazz fan has a hard on for every suns player. I like some of their players guys, I promise.

I’ve been talking about Craig a lot. And it has been he would help us... and since he was free I can’t believe we didn’t get him... and yes he could have been huge for us. Never said Suns wouldn’t be where they are... they didn’t even need another wing. We did... desperately... and he could have been huge for us.

We had the same type of argument on Tucker. If you bring on a guy that helps you win a series that is huge... we had opportunities and passed. It’s incredibly frustrating.

And honestly... If I’m DL Craig is absolutely a guy I go get so I can point to someone when Ryan says the roster isn’t good enough. Tough to point at Forrest and Oni who have yet to prove they are nba players.

See I think you should use the word "might" help us since we don't really know.
Had ersan proved he was an NBA player before?

I agree. We needed multiple defensive options in addition to everything we had this season. Maybe one was already on our bench. Maybe we needed to add another. Regardless, I know that the rotation we ended up playing didn't have what we needed.

This board is hilarious. @LoPo is on another thread saying we really could have used Crowder against the Clippers. @fishonjazz liked his comment.

But for some reason Tucker and Craig wouldn’t have done **** for us.

Comedy at its finest.
