aiight cause I was like we don't got beef. I'm a Canadian born in Toronto but been repin Utah since I was 5, so over 30 years now.
Jazz players SHOULD but game in and game out they play like bizzles. At what point does Rudy get tired of this team's soft play and the refs' bad calls and just start throwing elbows like he's Malone?

Raps are really good and a tough matchup. We did miss a ton of contested layups (it felt like). Lowry is just a *************... he kills us all the time. On two of those long threes I knew they were dropping as soon as he put them up. He does so many things (some of them BS flopping) that help you win. Always liked that guy.
But, yeah I didn't expect us to win at all... I thought it was a 50/50 game at best, but we clearly haven't turned the corner all the way and all year we have struggled against good teams. I was laughing when people were talking #2, #3 seed again. If we are lucky we can avoid Houston... that's all I'm kind of hoping for. I think we could beat them... maybe... I'm just so sick of those guys.

How long does this current losing streak last? Has to be at least 4 to add to the record of inconsistent play.

I’m at the point where I’m not really concerned about playoff seeding anymore. I’ve seen far enough into our heart problems... and I’ll confirm in advance that there isn’t a deep run in this team, regardless of seeding.
Even if they find some good groove or connectivity during this stretch run, I’ll also confirm in advance that it’ll be like an ephemeral pond: evaporated before the season is done.

I wonder if the front office informed him they aren't willing to supermax him and hes been sulking since.

If true, it would obviously be super troubling on multiple scales

I was in the "he deserves some sort of max no matter what" camp. This year the most troubling thing for me is not health or catching the ball or some other thing, but the fact that he's had so many games where he doesn't noticeably have a positive impact on the game. In years past he's picked his spots on occasion.. or had a bad game or two... this year it seems like he's had way too many nights where he is not into it.
His physical attributes and athleticism are obviously his huge skills... but his fire, motivation, mental attitude were key to doing the hard things he is forced to do on a nightly basis. With money and success come comfort... and I wonder if that fire is still there.
I ain't trying to trade dude at all... I ain't saying we shouldn't re-sign him... I'm just nervous about that number.
They would never tell him they aren't supermaxing him though... what would the purpose of that be? I think its likely that Rudy is kinda feeling unappreciated by our guards willingness or ability to find him on the roll.
Joe was the only one who was effective driving last night... and I think it is because of the threat of the pass. They knew he could get the ball to Rudy so they hugged Rudy instead of going to Joe... on DM and others they can come over and help because they gonna shoot almost every time.

What a wild ride this season has been. This is the first season that I can remember choosing to not watch games. This team is the most talented team we've had in quite some time but they they are soft. This team needs a team therapist or a lobotomy.
