Jazz Exit Interviews

For the series the rockets shot 36.5% from three as a team... our best shooter in the series was Royce at 34.8% from three.

Go get some damn shooters DL.

They shot 36.5% total, but I swear when it counted or when they needed momentum, they were shooting at least 50% on threes. When the game was out of reach in game 4, they throw up like 3-4 clankers.

Sandra Bullock... You had the whole world at your hands, and you chose to type.... Sandra Bullock. 90's version or today. Legit question.

It's funny you mention this, because I was searching for someone who'd be viewed as universally attractive, and I'm a little out of the pop culture game, so I even googled "most attractive people" and didn't like the results (didn't know a lot of them), and the people who a lot of people think are great I'm kinda 'meh' on, so I decided to go back a couple decades when I was more in the know, so she popped into my head. I knew she wasn't the top choice, but felt it was a more reasonable choice on the upper end of a DL spectrum.
 
I like this thread. The last time I posted regularly here I was criticized for being critical of DL.

I said that he got lucky with his two best moves: Gobert and Mitchell.

He could have drafted Gobert and Giannis. Instead he traded those picks for Trey Burke. It wasn’t until Sloan vouched for Gobert that we bought back into the first round and took Gobert.

As far as Mitchell goes, Denver called us, said we heard you like Mitchell, we like Lyles, wanna trade?

DL did say yes, so there is that.

Other than Sloan forcing Gobert on us and Denver wanting Lyles, DL has been terrible, and his biggest stain is Hayward. We could have four year maxed Hayward. DL said he wasn’t worth that, knowing the cap was jumping and Hayward’s “max” deal would be a little more than Rubio’s last deal.

Instead he allows Hayward to get his own deal, which was three years instead of four.

This allows Hayward to leave a year early to Boston. Imagine another year of Hayward with Gobert and Mitchell.

Then Hayward asks for a trade to Boston the summer before he is a FA. DL could have gotten a first round pick for Hayward.

He declines, Hayward walks for nothing.

But, no. No criticism for DL. Cake baking, metrics, asset gathering and other ******** euphemisms cause he makes us “feel good.”

DL’s problem is he thinks he is smarter than everybody else in the room. And he isn’t.

Big summer for DL. If you bomb this summer and Utah ends up 5-7 in the West and Gobert is not an all star, then you have to consider blowing it up again because Gobert wants to win. And you can’t risk losing Gobert for nothing.

Can't argue with the Logic. Sandra Bullock... 90's was legit. Good choice based on the DL spectrum (I think the DL spectrum needs to be a real thing)

Oh ****. This gives me a major erection. Seriously. If Rudy can’t come back next year with some semblance of an offensive move or two, he never will. Could see him at about 18-19/13 next year.

Love Rudy, but he can't catch a ball and throw it trhu the net unless he's absolutely well positioned. Not to mention traffic situations. That said, he really needs to add some kind of middle jumpshot/floater/hook and may be try to use his big hands for a little scoop one handed thing. That's not asking for too much I think, but it will make a giant difference for himself and the rest of his teammates.

I'm not looking to argue. I'm simply posing the question. I've never heard he's disliked and quite frankly, scrums during a game doesn't mean someone is disliked. Tons of guys get into scrums most games.

Agreed. I bet he is respected. I see opposing players talking with him after games in a friendly manner.

They probably just scared of him though

A little half hook like Adams or Robin Lopez would be devastating. He has gotten better with some of that stuff which gives me some hope. Issue will always be he is light and has a high center of gravity... so guys can get in on his legs/hips and move him... which is weird because you can’t touch people on the perimeter but in the post guys are allowed to tackle and shove... I will never understand nba officiating.

I think I'm going to call into DJ and PK tomorrow to read this verbatim... I posted similar criticism of DL earlier:
Quin is the engine that is driving the recent Jazz success, not Lindsay. Quin's blender offense gets open shots, but Lindsay has failed to get the correct personnel. It'd be like a Peyton Manning offense being 80% run / 20% pass. The lack of 3 point shooting is on Lindsay, not Quin.

Lindsay got lucky with Gobert and Donovan. The Gobert situation was a 1/1000 occurrence. Donovan had a great showing at his workout with the Jazz (more so than his other workouts). Him trading to get Donovan was a good move, but what else has he done? Trade away Taurean Prince (who is exactly what the Jazz need) for a one year rental in George Hill? Drafted Trey Burke? Jazz still don't have the PG situation figured out... He failed to both A) trade Hayward for anything and B) convince him to stay. Korver and Crowder like trades don't move the needle.

I agree with many of the other posters. 3 strikes and you're out. This off-season is his last shot.
 
I am a big fan of Dennis Lindsey.

Even if he gets rid of TheGoldenBoy (RR, who's my homie and my favorite NBA player) and NoIdeal Favors (whom I think should be extended for the maximum possible number of years ) I'll still think he's a great GM, even being wrong here.
After all...

People wants noisy moves, big names, trending topics, insiders' stuff...
Dennis is the opposite: quiet moves, modest or even unknown names, under radar news, hermetic and opaque to leaks...

He's like Bran Stark. He knows all but doesn't say s*it.
And nobody else knows s*it 'til he decides to filter it to Woj.

The problem with some of our shooters is that they're not quick-release shooters. Ingles takes time to square up and wind up. Jae has to gather himself before he starts his motion. Same with Ricky. Niang too.

It means a defender can sag off and then have extra time to recover.

Grayson Allen has a quick release, but I'm guessing Quin didnt trust his defense enough to play him.

So get good shooter's that don't choke. Hmmm, unfortunately we can't test for that before paying them the multi million dollar contract.

By all measures we had one and went and got another. That failed. Ingles and Korver (an all time great shooter % wise).
 
I gotta say DL pisses me off most the time and now, he simply sounds like he just wants to sit on his hands again and do nothing once more. I agree, we must bring back Favors. I'm shocked that he didn't play as much in the Houston series.

This is nonsense. It’s like someone saying “I hung out with a celebrity, but I won’t say who,” knowing that you’ll assume that they must have been doing blow with George Clooney and Brad Pitt for a weekend in Cabo, when in reality they just saw Emilio Estevez at a pay phone.

He's probably talking about someone like Jabari Parker, maybe Julius Randle.

It's fine you want to buy everything from the organization hook, line, and sinker. But at that point, why bother posting? It's okay to say that the Jazz don't nail every decision, after all, that's what DL says as well.

I suppose I believe in our front office and I don't claim to know what goes on behind closed doors.

I guess I could pose the same question to you. Why just post garbage theories? Maybe that's your thing, which is fine.

This post perfectly sums it up. If you haven't already, read it. Don't scan it, read and absorb it thoroughly. It is spot on.

I just want to let you all know how happy it makes me that the Utah Jazz’s season is over and that it was my team that ended it. After all the racism that players endure in that arena, I love the fact that it will be closed down for the summer for NBA purposes. You don’t have a good draft pick, so your team doesn’t really have a future, especially with super teams forming this summer. You’re essentially stuck in mediocrity. Life is amazing for rockets fans. Bye bye, go have fun fishing little children! :) PS - Houston ownz u
