We Are Bakking Cake When We Should Have Been Cooking Soup

ah, but how many championships has steak won? Zero, because that would be skipping steps. Lebron only won when he made himself part of Dwayne Wade's cake, I don't know if there is such a thing as steak-cake but it sounds intriguiing....nevertheless, Lebron as part of the cake only got two out of four, which really should have been 1 out of four except that Popovich inexplicably subbed out his best rebounder and player. So maybe steak cake is skipping steps too.

Although, it just occurred to me that maybe Popovich making an illogical substitution costing the spurs the championship is also a step that could not be skipped. Wholly cow this skipping steps thing is deep, way deeper than any of us first considered. I thought maybe Lindsey was just Texas talking his way out of accountability, now I realized that he is wise like a guru or great philosopher. Dumbledore, Gandalf, the Oracle from the Matrix and Dennis Lindsey. Wow.
 
so the internet says that steak-cakes are a real thing. Who knew?

I'm totally confused by the spelling in the title of this thread. We're making bakakke soup as a metaphor for the team? What?
 
Could be, that the Spurs are just plain better at cooking/baking/eating than the rest of the whole NBA. From the front office to the coaching staff to the players. It's nice to want to emulate that, but it's unobtainable. The Jazz need to strike out on their own path and make everyone else want to be like them.

I named the Spurs but the Warriors have done similar things... yes they have a core group of young guys, but cleared space to bring in Iggy when they weren't considered a contender. Switched out Landry and Jack when they were good veteran bench contributors. Just don't think we are baking... I think we are cooking and adjustments are made on the fly. Either DL is being told not to spend or he is too enamored with his own players... or too afraid a deal will hurt the team. We need to adjust.

I don't like the new line being given about how management never said going to the playoffs was what this season is about... its about development... those ideas are not inconsistent ya know... ya can do both. Adding one more veteran either through FA or trade will take away time from a Neto, Ingles, or CJ and I'm fine with that. Those guys aren't going to develop into game changers. Or if it is about development, let's develop something that could actually be worth something. I mean what is the ceiling on Tibor (don't make the obvious tall joke), Neto, Ingles (I think of him as Dante's wingman and he has his moments so I'm fine with him), and CJ.

I'm just frustrated.... soooooo frustrated.
 
I think that they planned on taking a jump and making moves this offseason. Though maybe trading Kanter and Gobert's rise last year might have pushed their time frame forward, but I'm starting to feel like they're still planning things out that way.

The trade deadline will be very telling. I thought there was a better than average chance that the Jazz would package some combination of Burks, Burke and picks to make a move at the deadline. Now I'm wondering if they won't let the season play out, hold Burks and Favors out as much as possible to see where their pick ends up and THEN use the early lottery pick plus their players to make a move.

That gives them Gobert, Favors, Lyles, Hayward, Hood and Exum as their core, plus, hopefully someone's that is an Alpha offensive caliber player as well as a bunch of cap space to bring in some mid-level veterans to fill out the bench.
 
It's hard to break that Walmart mentality. I understand.

Not really, tho.

That's right, the Spurs are soup, the warriors are a cake and the Cavs are a steak. The Jazz should be there own food item, how about jello? It has a local tie, there steps to making jello, and it super flexible, it can be molded, shaped, it comes in different colors and favors, and ther is always room for Jello and everyone loves it.
