Nets @ Jazz (7PM MST)

[JazzyFresh]

speaking of dumb, weren’t you the guy who said a week or so back that Royce was “one of the strongest players in the league” and couldn’t provide any evidence of such a claim? LOL

Weren't you the one trying to make Mudiay look bad by saying he's in Quins doghouse when he was actually out with an injury?

You mean the guy that largely held Al Horford to paltry percentages and who busted Ben Simmons shoulder? Strange game to not notice that Royce is strong as ****.

Keep deflecting because your point is embarrassing, though. Keep ****-talking upstanding players on your own team, too. It's befitting.

Asking you to provide evidence for your baseless claims isn’t deflecting.

nor is asking for additional help for Rudy “**** talking upstanding players.”

In fact, post 459 of this thread, which I authored, is what started this whole discussion. Perhaps you should read before insulting?

Very good win. Glad we got some contributions from green and Mudiay. Looks like conley and Gobert are figuring things out.

however, I’m concerned with how mortal Jingles looks this year and how we have nothing behind Gobert. I’m ready to move on from Bradley and see if there’s anyone with a little more size or athleticism. We desperately need someone who can spell Gobert for a few mins each game. I just can’t see him having anything left in the tank come playoff time if he’s having toplay 35+ mins and grab every rebound and block every shot.

have a good night bud!

Jingles absolutely locked down on defense in the 4th. He'll be fine. As far as Bradley goes, he has literally faced the best of the backup Centers, sans Favors, since taking over for Davis. Most of the rest of the NBA has clown shows for backup center, especially many of those teams on the upcoming schedule. You only learn by playing, and as long as we keep winning there really isn't a downside.

Where do you see exum fitting ?

It’s not the learning part that worries me about Bradley, it’s the lack of athleticism.

Glad we won that game. It was a bit too close for comfort. A few seasons ago we seemed to lose a lot of the close games. Now, so far, we're winning the majority of them.

I still feel like things aren't clicking offensively. When they finally do we're going to crush teams.

 

[framer]

Look at us 2nd in the Western Conference standings, half a game out of first place with the next six games highly winnable.

 

[NAOS]

LOL? That’s your evidence?

How often do you get concussions?

The insult was unnecessary, and given how many of those you've taken, your response is to be expected.

However, you also authored this steaming pile of **** post:

Or continue to pay a large contract to an overrated Australian who can’t stay healthy?

Joe is shooting poorly. Yep. But attempting to breakdown how bad this post is:
1 - Joe signed his contract in July 2017 that was for four years. In the following two years, he was the team's third best player, fourth at worst (I think Favors is a nice player who has had little to do with the Jazz's success, given how the Jazz did in '16-'17 and now, I think it's hard to make the counter-argument). I am basing this on that his skills (his shooting, his passing, his defense, his savvy) facilitated a bunch of pieces that couldn't work together (a high-usage player and absolute non-shooters) and that his +/- bears that out.
2 - Joe signing a four-year contract has nothing to do with not having depth at a position (according to you) where depth is readily found for cheap.
3 - "Can't stay healthy?" He's played more consecutive games than any active player. He's done it playing a ton of minutes at an age he shouldn't, guarding the toughest assignment every night. If he's not healthy, that's a choice, and it's thus far been far more the exception than it has been the rule.
4 - point #2 repeated or elaborated upon about 10 more times.

For the record, Bradley has a 25 PER. I'm down to get someone that doesn't play ogre-ball or can score, but our backups have been doing okay.

Have a good night.

Umm. Yeah. I could cite reporters, but that doesn't mean much. I guess it could in the absence of an NBA strongman competition.

Where do you see exum fitting ?

Somewhere between Dennis Smith, Jr., and Frankie Nicotine.

I assumed the Australian Thriller was talking about was Exum. Maybe I’m wrong.
