I'm struggling with two contradictory impulses. On the one hand, I want to trust the Jazz FO and give them the benefit of doubt that they they did all that was reasonable to improve the team but would not allow themselves to be pressured into giving up too much or making an otherwise dumb move...

I get that usage rates matter, BUT I think Hayward and Mitchell would work well together. I don't agree either that Hayward would not have sacrificed any usage rate for Mitchell; he never tended toward ball hog/hero ball to begin with. Also, Mitchell uses at such a high rate because somebody...

The green unis from a couple years back were much better than the current version; however, I like them both, a lot. Were it me, I'd go with the white, green, and purple uni rotation. Blue is too common, while the city uni's are too loud; too many colors, too many horizontal stripes.

Agreed. With a core of Hayward, Mitchell, and Gobert, the Jazz would be a legit #2 Seed contender in West and then with some lucky breaks .... I don't get the thinking that Mitchell is an alpha, Hayward a beta, but having Hayward here would have stunted Mitchell. If he's the alpha you think he...

Favorite line, "Hey Jazz, nice jerseys, who’s your sponsor Orange Julius?" At least I'm not the only one who thinks that the Jazz's city uniforms are ugly. I'm solidly on the Green uniform bandwagon.

Should we tell him about Utah's high rates of internet porn viewing? A double shock, I would imagine.

I vote this as the best line, "Royce O'Neal's inability to see painted lines is very helpful right now."

While I like Locke, and consistently support/defend him, his show yesterday went way over the top, was chock full of inanities and, for some reason, annoyed the hell out of me. Cause I was bored last night, I sat down and wrote a response, which I probably won't send, but here's some excerpts...

The Jazz have now officially become the team other teams see on their schedule as a possible break. Of the next six games to close out the year, I see no more than three wins: Knicks and one of the Portland and/or OKC games. We will be lucky to emerge out of December less than 5 games under...

Ok, fair enough. At one point do we cross the line from 'over reacting' to 'properly reacting?" I mean, 1/4 of the season gone, two games below .500 and probably three games after tonight, third-to-last in West, multiple major egg laying games and blow-out losses (including a 40+ point loss to...

That's not remotely true as stated. There are plenty of ways to structure tax cuts so that the benefits accrue to groups other than the most wealthy. To begin with, cutting the marginal rates borne by middle to lower income earners, while leaving the marginal rates for upper income earners the...

I doubt that Burks was in the Jazz's plans after this year once his contract expired. I'm sad to see him go on a personal note. I like the guy, he's been nothing but classy despite the substantial challenges/disappointments he's faced the last few weeks. On the other hand, it wasn't going to...

I make a perfectly good argument and you go and ruin it with data. Curse you. Still, those comparisons only go so far, either one on the Jazz and the PER (or whichever advanced data one uses) may change. But point well taken.

I guess my frustration with Lindsey and the Jazz FO is that they never seem to be proactive in terms of taking risks to upgrade, particularly where we need it. What's the use of having cap flexibility, or "dry powder" if they are never used? The FO plays it safe by signing below the radar...

I'd like to know how people define "athletic." As best I can tell, in basketball it implies someone can jump high, dunk, run fast, and, most likely, isn't white. By the standards I infer from its popular use, Tom Brady isn't at all athletic, yet he's arguably the NFL's GOAT. To play at high...

"Yeah but Hillary." LoL. Someday, one would hope, this will fade away from being the Trump apologist's go to deflection. I'm not Hillary fan, in fact I pretty well despise her and her husband, and I wish she'd just go the hell away. But with that said, she's not remotely in this or any...

Youtube is full of such "So and so DESTROYS so and so" clips. For people looking for validation, they are a veritable goldmine. I watched this, and while I don't think the woman debating Rubin came off well, I also thought Rubin was being obtuse, intentionally or otherwise, consistently...

A few observations. 1. As a general principle, I believe that if someone opens a 'public accommodation' business this implies an obligation not to discriminate against certain groups in the provision of goods/services. 2. There are exceptions to the above, but I don't believe that they involve...

Right. Cowherd is to sports media what, say, Hannity is to political media. They are both hot takers paid loads of money to spout strong opinions that stimulate the emotional part of the listener's/viewer's brain, not the rational part. Unfortunately, the line between hot takers and...

Hot take time (move over Colin and Skip): Draymond is a system player. While he is a great player, he is great within the GS system. Take him out of that system, and his limitations, particularly offensive ones, will become apparent. He's someone who has benefitted (all the way to...
