I think it also had to do with the fact the owner was willing to spend money and he was now in a location that could attract major FA's. Problem is the FO sucks and they got the wrong players.

The FO must have consulted with DWill before they traded for Wallace & Johnson though right?
Also don't forget, we got stuck with Big Al because DWill wanted him here in the first place.

I'm pretty sure market size had something to do with deron's decision to extend.
In Utah, he could average 50 pts and 30 assists and never get any recognition from the national media. Brooklyn? Not exactly the same thing. It's all about the dollar signs.

I wonder how the Jazz would've done against OKC now with Westbrook out.
Our PG was the weakest defensive spot and with Westbrook out, it would've been a good series. I think we could defend Durant with Carrolle/Hayward/Marvin better than Houston can defend Durant. I dunno, I think it would've made for a good series, we match up better against OKC than Houston does.

I don't. It's clear to see we have neither the talent level, nor the Coach, nor the "heart" to even get out of the 1st round of the playoffs.
Just look at our elimination game against Memphis. It wasn't that we lost. We were just so flat. We didn't have the talent, the coaching or the energy to even beat Memphis let alone OKC or any teams in the West IMO except may be HOU.
We would have been embarrassed yet again.

It's all about matchups in the NBA and Memphis is just a much much much better version of the Jazz. They rely on their post up players just as we do, but Zbo and Marc are the best frontline in the NBA. When we don't have the frontline matchup, we almost always lose.
It's the reason we suck so bad against Sacramento for example (Thompson + Cousins >> Sap + Al).
OKC doesn't have a good frontline, therefore we would've had a better chance.
Baby Back Bitch is right. OP is one for making this thread, and Blake Griffin and Paul are for their flopping.
Wow... Clippers 1 game away from elimination...
Who said these playoffs have sucked?
Another fun offseason trying to guess which team Chris Paul will choose!!!
