I haven't had any trouble with Dish so far this season. Feed is good. I'm glad they've finally set it up to automatically record the games. I would miss the first half of a few games a year because I forgot to set the DVR. Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk

This. I agree there were missed calls. Speight's push was a borderline flagrant foul. The guy was flustered and frustrated not dangerous or malicious. I don't love it, but the refs made a reasonable decision. It did serve to signal at least an unspoken warning to the players on both teams. And...

I have a moment every broadcast when I am reminded how pleased I am that she is not Steve Brown. My only cringe from her so far was when they made her go interview the imagine dragon musician guy - and even then it was so much less awkward than what Brown would've done. Kristen does a good job...

George Hill sprained his thumb in New York yesterday.

From Zach Lowe's Free Agency Winners and Losers: "This is a versatile, mammoth team that should win 50 games next season. Seriously, predicting 50 wins for the Jazz is not bold. They are that good." His whole article is worth a read, he has 5 or 6 paragraphs on the Jazz...

I'm with you on this. I haven't decided if this is just fortuitous or whether DL is just this thorough with his FA pitches. He finally has something that he can sell to free agents and we have a reasonable abundance to spend on contracts. And even then $11 million in this brave new world is like...

It is looking good right now. I hope Lyles and Exum can become core contributors. I can see where Lyles can employee his talents more proficiently, but what about Exum? What does Exum's improvement look like this year? What will be different about him and what will he do differently?

I think that is very realistic at this point. The west is looking vulnerable right now and we are looking strong. Give me the Clippers in the playoffs next year. These Jazz will make a statement...finally.

If you accept the narrative that he unexpectedly bit when Jazz front office was making a courtesy call then he must really want whatever was offered, and I don't mean the 22 million. That pitch must have been sexy to him. It comes down to him being promised minutes/starting, a role, or both.

Hopefully this year you'll be drinking in celebration of our glory.

For the money in the deal he accepted it has to be the role he was offered. I hope that he wasn't promised a starting spot. I'm thinking maybe at this point in his career, with all the criticism he's earned and absorbed, he perhaps wants to accept a role with less pressure. He can be an...

Not to mention that G Hill is a viable option for minutes at the 2. If guys are having an off night on the perimeter there is plenty of help to rotate through until we can find someone with some juice. I'm very pleased with this deal.

It's a damn good thing that I have 3 months to temper my expectations. I am getting pumped! Nice roundup of twitties.

I have the same question. I found this old article out of Brooklyn from summer 2012. https://thebrooklyngame.com/joe-johnson-defense/ It's a little generous and we can expect him to have lost a step or two in the 4 years since this analysis was written. Regardless, I found it to be an...

This. Burks suffered an acute injury as a result of a hard (possible cheap shot) foul. Its frustrating for us and its frustrating for him. Fishonjazz is right to point out the silver lining: he is still young and has low mileage. Another positive is that since he's missed so many games he...
