You mean soft like Charmin?

“You mother****ers are soft like Charmin in this ************. God damn, is this the type of **** that’s going on in these practices? Now I see why we’ve lost 20 ****ing games. We’re soft like Charmin. We’re soft like ****.”

Kobe Bryant’s outburst at today’s practice was so epic, so quotable and so viral-worthy, even the toilet paper maker had to respond.

That too

Kobe is Dante’s idol. I think Kobe would literally kill Dante

Not only this, but it'll give us a chance to evaluate how the pieces are coming together before committing to another piece. I think that's prudent. People around here are impatient as ****.

Exactly.

I think we should start Royce at the 4... let the matchup determine who Bojan guards and who Royce guards. What team in the West creates a problem for us with Royce at the 4? Denver might... Millsap might eat us up on the offensive glass. San Antonio goes big to start usually, but they will also play a lot with Morris, Gay, etc. at the 4. Lakers likely start big but their best lineups will be with LeBron at the 4 and AD at the 5.

I like Royce at the 4 because he has a little lower usage rate, is a better defender than green, and is a better rebounder. I also want him to get more minutes, so starting allows that. I think Green can come off the bench and do his Jae Crowder impression. I think the closing lineup ends up being DM, Conley, Ingles, Bojan, Rudy. We can certainly upgrade the position, but I don't see that we need to.

Some of us have yearned for a guy like Robert Covington... Can't Royce be a reasonable facsimile of what RoCo would be? Doesn't have his steal or block rate, but I think Royce also doesn't gamble as much.
 
I feel like there’s the Alec Burks, CJ Miles, Dante Exum class of Jazz players that every year you hear how hard they work and all the talents the possess and every year they suck worse than the year prior.

This.... and Jazzfanz are adamant that they'll "become something special." Turns out they all blow year after year
 
Let me keep piling on. Dante’s first step is incredible. Best in the league. But once he gets to the rim, it’s like he fell in a hole. He doesn’t really elevate, he throws up these wimpy underhanded out of control layups. Like who gives a **** about your first step when you finish like that?

As you know... these are pretty much my exact thoughts. Would rep.
