Man I hate GSW with a passion.


I can't believe that in this day and age, a team of 4 superstars can be assembled and not break any league rules. I'm just so angry the NBA has allowed that to happen.
Agreed. I hate this new "super team" stuff. I liked when the best wanted to beat the best, not team up with them to take the jv's lunch.

It was my girlfriends birthday so I missed the game. I just watched the game on dvr.
I watched using the fast forward a bunch.
Watching the warriors makes you really hate superstar teams. They are unbeatable when all the stars just join one team. I wonder how many fans will start to give up watching when it's not worth watching anymore. I've already had a handful of friends who don't watch pro basketball cause of things like that.

God, looking at teh box score the Jazz threw this game away. Warriors shot 24% from 3. We gave them so many points on turnovers and fastbreaks. Heart breaker

Yeah, I doubt we get another game out of GS where they shoot under 30% from 3. This was a missed opportunity, and maybe the only one we will get. Sure, we can play better, but then so can GS.
 
The absolute dumbest thing I've heard in all my life as a jazz fan, is that it was a mistake trading that pick for Hill. Utah misses the POs and Hayward leaves for sure, so you might as well blow the whole thing up if you turn down that deal.

And to think, Utah just won a first round series with this team, and some people are STILL dumb enough to stick to their dumb opinion. That's like dumb to the infinity degree. It's so dumb my head hurts trying to get a grasp on the unbelievable dumbness.

i know i wish it would go back to when it was:

• kobe shaq malone payton
• magic, kareem, james worthy
• gail goodrich, jerry west, wilt the stilt
• bird, mchale, parish, ainge
• bill russell, sam jones, john havlicek
• garnett, pierce, allen
• barkley, hakeem, drexler
• jordan, pippen, rodman
• thomas, mahorn, dumars, laimbeer

etc.
 
Yeah, it sure did suck making the playoffs and winning a 7 game series. Sure wish we had another guy like lyles and another lottery pick. That would be sweet.

Hill has been very good but I wouldn't throw a ton of money at him for the future. He's slowing down. That's my point.

i really like george hill, but he's hardly the REASON we made the playoffs. he missed half the season, and only had 6 win shares.

The REASON we made the playoffs was the emergence of Rudy (14.3 Win Shares) and the progression of Hayward (10.4 Win Shares). We likely still wouldve made the postseason without hill (we kinda did already since he missed half the season), albeit with a lower seed..
 
I didn't pay attention to any stats, but I did feel Hill was really bad on defense during the Clippers series. Felt like Paul just had his way with him. With that said, I still like Hill, and think he's a very positive contributor for the team.
Cp3 and curry are max contract point guards, curry may be on a discount but he is a max player. Hill is not, as argued by everyone in here...So he's probably not as good as those 2.

not quite sure what point you're making ?
 
You prefer Neto for probably the same reasons my wife and teenage daughter do ...
Won't deny that, but I also think he plays better. He is a pass first and plays good d, he is just short, and he did take a couple really bad shots against the clips. He's young though, and I like him. I hope he stays on the team and continues to improve.

Good point, it just seems less competitive now, I don't know why.
