All I know is that jazzfanz has a god complex, lol. First there was the is Hayward god thread, then we tried to make a few others our god, then the trey Burk is Jesus thread, then we somehow turned a pastry into god, A PASTRY!!!

Is there any chance the real god is mad at us?? Just asking.

There would have to be a real God for that to happen... So we're good.

Then him having a vendetta against Job, sticking a dude in a whale, ordering a dude to kill his son...

Wild ride.

Haha.

To be completely fair and serious, I challenge anyone who considers themselves knowledgeable about basketball and as objective as they can be to go watch Mitchell's summer league (I watched every game) and first 7 or so games to his NBA career and argue with what I observed in those games. He was amazing in SL and he was pretty bad in his NBA start, to say the least.

I never saw him in college and had only read his prospect reports. Watching him in summer league made me think this kid is a star and at the same time, calm the **** down - he plays for the Jazz. I've been high on Exum and Kanter too at their draft positions, and admittedly, I've been let down. Knowing this, I expected Mitchell to jump out of the gates like a boss and not show any fools gold.

His first 7 to 10 games in the NBA were absolutely atrocious. One, we never get to see rookies play and get the OK like he had on the Jazz. Two, he simply looked overwhelmed, and understandably tried too hard. He played gawd awful offensively. At the time, Mitchell shot the worst fg% in NBA rookie history to start his career. I questioned myself. I thought my expectations were unreasonable and this is Jazz thing. I never saw him fly. (He was probably just a lil overwhelmed.)

Many doubted Jesus too. Once he gained a following and had a good outlook he was killed.

Some doubted.

Then he then rose.


Note: Not trying to be blasphemous and I apologize if what I write offends someone. I'm not a religious dude, but respect those who are.

I had my doubts his first 10 games. I thought it was too good to be true. I kept a lil faith and I have been redeemed.:)

Mitchell is the real deal. I keep pinching myself as a Jazz fan.

Actually really well said. The one thing Mitchell has had from the beginning that shows no sign of changing is the drive. High motor, high desire to improve, confidence through the roof. Man did we get lucky on that one.

There was a time, during the first 10 games of our Lord Mitchell's career, where I doubted him. I had high expectations after his summer league performance, and after an abysmal first games in which he shot something like 6/68, I doubted.

I think you are remembering his first 5 games, not his first 10.

He averaged 20 ppg in games 6-10.

And for a rookies to suck his first 5 games should be completely expected.

People judged based on the ball going in or out... he was getting where he wanted and doing things but you could tell he didn’t quite know what to do. He improved quicker than anyone could have predicted.

It’s the same **** I’ve been saying on Grayson Allen. The ball wasn’t going in but he was getting places and you watch him the last few games (albeit against **** defense) and he was so much more comfortable working in the space he was creating... and the ball started falling. I don’t think he is half the player DM is and the defense is a problem but it’s something to remember... can’t just judge on box scores. It’s about seeing what they have and what is fixable. It’s more about the process than the result for me.

Also don’t doubt the churro.

Wrong.

I just looked it up. He averaged 13.5 points his first 10 games. He had some nice scoring games, but had 3 games of scoring 2 points and 5 games of scoring 10 or less.

I just saw you said 6 -10. Not first 10.

I said first 10, but either way.

His percentages were awful... but you could see that he had ability... he got so good so fast people forgot the early struggles.

28 +25 + 22 + 17 + 8 = 100

100/5 = 20 points per game.

Math is a thing.

a good luck churry photoshop. i think we lost last game cuz we didn't have one of these. we'll win tonight now.
 
I had some mini churros, but I ordered 4 instead of just 2.
My work here is done.


But if we win, I'll make sure it becomes a pre-game ritual for the rest of the playoffs.
