What's new

Nick Wright: To the Jazz - NO ONE thinks you can win a championship - zero people believe that. Six Teams I would pick before Utah to win the title.

I am glad no one thinks we can win the championship. I wanted to fly completely under the radar all season as it was. I loved the Lakers fan comments where they are shocked and surprised that we slaughtered them so efficiently and acting like it was some revelation, like it was completely a fluke that we have won 23 of 25 games or whatever it is now, like we just happened to get good on the day we play them, and of course without their stars, since Schroder is obviously a super-star apparently, and with their star we would have just been pounded into the ground like cockroaches because, how can the Jazz be good? I love that. Let them wonder and not know and not get it, and have the same response when the comments are after game 4 of us sweeping them in the WCF and they are still saying the same thing. Wait, is this Utah? Are they good now or something? Why hasn't the league just handed us our rings like they are supposed to do every year? Keep it under the radar. The Hydra flies at night and takes his victims unawares.
 
I disagree with him but at the same time the jazz have a lot to prove. We have had similar stretches the last 3 years when it comes to winning but this is without a doubt the most dominant that we have been during those stretches.

Similar stretches? When? I must’ve missed them.

We actually haven't had a winning stretch like this but maybe twice in team history. This is straight up historic dominance by a Jazz team. Best start in team history. NBA historic dominance in that stretch. Yes there is a lot to prove, but by God we are proving it. It is happening before our eyes. The Hydra is on the move.

 
Basically he is saying what Morris said after the game. We have to admit that we have been lucky to have opposing star players out in some games against upper echelon teams. I am anxious to see what happens in Philly next week.
 
If I'm Quin. I show this clip to my team and challenge them to step up and prove them wrong.
 
I wonder how much the scholarship thing is a real motivation for the team. We joke about it but you have no idea how that might be affecting them as a group. Maybe they say it as they leave the locker room "FOR LITTLE TIMMY'S SCHOLARSHIP" or something. I think that would be cool to find out.
 
You have to realize all the Hot Takes Guys don't always believe they own BS. They find takes that will stir up message boards and send them viral. They find a profitable corner of the media world and live there. I just find Nick more entertaining that guys like Skip.
Skip is the worst.
 
this dude from what i've seen is big on must have superstar player. 2-3 teams he could see winning the title before us is fine, but 6 .. just makes himself look like a clown
 
I can understand why he'd say that. The Jazz look a bit similar to last season's Milwaukee Bucks right now.

The Jazz are 26-6. The Bucks were 27-5 last year at the same point.

I don’t understand watching such garbage. It’s reality tv in that it’s scripted bs with quite literally no reality.

I’d rather watch intelligent sports shows with real conversations and genuine perspectives like PTI. Watching people argue idiotically into a frenzy is ugly and nauseating, and sadly a microcosm of what our society has become.

I prefer podcasts... people are generally more genuine. Nick actually has a cool backstory and is pretty funny. I've only heard him on podcasts.
 
Similar stretches? When? I must’ve missed them.
Last year we had a stretch where went 19 and 2. Two years ago to finish the season we had a stretch where we went 12-1. Three years ago we had a stretch where we went 21-2 and we finished that year on a 29-6 run. So we haven't even matched that run from a win loss perspective. We have been far more dominant though during this current run from a margin of victory standpoint than any of those other runs.

During those runs we had an easy schedule too. We haven’t been beating up on cupcakes.
