What's new

The official: Please tank properly this year.

We are riding a bunch of vets and somehow still find ourselves down big at home against a Magic team that's running their young guys
 
Oh now that I see the replay Keyonte was drifting to the 3pt like and Kelly threw it like he would go for 2. Kelly was right. Jazz only need one and Kelly wa throwing into a wide open middy
 
Tanking is done by the FO /thread

We are not tanking this year. We have a couple guys (Including an all-star) that are too good to make that happen.
We are likely gonna be a middling team striving for a playoff spot.

BUT
That's what makes us special. We have a couple promising young guys + a **** load of picks.
We are "rebuilding" in a way we haven't before.

I am shocked that a poorly coached team has communication issues on crucial inbound plays.
 
Play young guys we suck.

Play old vets we still suck.

We gonna suck either way so it's not really all that difficult to decide between the two

How dumb is our front office for not tanking properly last year.

Wemby looks unbelievable.

I've talked to jazz fans who say a 14% chance of getting him wasn't worth it. Those people are clowns for thinking that. The spurs are going to be contenders for the next 10 years because of a single player.

We will struggle with rebuilding and probably draft a clown like Kanter if we ever get a top 3 pick again. What a nightmare situation we are in.
 
If you really look at the roster the Jazz front office put together, it's clear that this team isn't designed to win much. Clarkson and Sexton absorb a lot of minutes, but are below-average defenders with limited efficiency on offense. None of our guards shoot well enough to consistently space the floor. Guys either don't shoot enough 3s or don't make enough 3s. Our forwards have size and athleticism, but still lack the ability to self-create. THT has been given a prominent role because he's really the only one who can drive and kick or drive and dish to set up our bigs. Jazz rebound well and guard the interior well when they're big, but this is a 30 - 35-win team. Jazz will win when they shoot the lights out, or at least when both Lauri and Clarkson have efficient enough offensive games. Otherwise, they'll have a hard time manufacturing offense consistently.

The main problem the Jazz are having with these B2Bs isn't fatigue so much as a lack of time to prepare. The Jazz need time to really gameplan against the other team, particularly on the defensive end.
 
I’m rooting for the Jazz tank. The Sixers have five first round picks and a lot of expiring contracts for Markkanen. He’d be beautiful next to Embiid and Maxey.
