Definitely feels like this to me. It makes sense that teams would hone in on the Rudy roll as something to shut down with Hayward gone.

I was there live, so I didn't get to see a replay of that Burks reverse layup until just now. He literally leaped from outside the paint on it. Crazy.

Decent chance that he has anxiety-induced IBS (or something similar). It's hell. I understand why people like to joke about it, but the reality is that there are no simple fixes to the problem. Sometimes a low FODMAP diet (which is really restrictive) can help, but it's no guarantee.

Sweet! I spent some time in Spain. Great place and great people. I remember first hearing about Rubio on a Spanish train. Two teens were talking about how Rubio (a teen at the time) was going to be the next Stockton. As a lifelong Jazz fan, of course I had to join in that conversation...

Really looks like Neto and Gobert are getting along, which bodes well for their on-court synergy.

I'm not sure the base offense changes much, but I sure hope we run more. It just makes too much sense.

Where did you get the 5.8 stat? I'd love to see how their CPM stat ended up last season. My guess for your question is that projections would naturally trend toward the center of a range of projected value. So I'd guess that all projections would end up "flatter" than the actual results. But...

Actually, it's fair to say that one only needs two betas and one gamma to compete for a title. Throw in some good luck with injuries and solid bench depth, and you've got a realistic shot. Of course, everything is skewed right now because of what you mention: freaking GSW.

I know this might not be a popular post, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed at the assumptions and jabs that have been made about Robyn through all this. Lots of comments (some more snide than others) about how she must be the reason Gordon is leaving when there is very little evidence...

I think you raise an important and fair point. And you might be right. Here's my counter, though. Rubio is going to be getting a much better team around him. I think the Jazz are both more talentedand more disciplined. Better talent means less pressure on Rubio, and better discipline means...

Yeah I saw that tweet and I just can't fathom it being correct in any way. Maaaybe the warmth and the beach would be preferred by Robyn, but they have a home in San Diego that's a short plane ride away. But nothing else about the "lifestyle" makes sense. Spoelstra is a good coach, but Gordon...

In a lot of ways Stockton is a reasonable comparison, with Rubio's greatest strengths being passing and defense. However, the comparison just goes to show how complete a player Stockton was. If Rubio had Stock's shooting, he'd probably be a top PG in the NBA right now.

I know I'm replying super late here, but... whatever. If Durant and/or Curry got hurt in game one of the Jazz series, Utah would have had an excellent shot at the title this year. They would have had to beat LeBron, yes, but the Celtics will have to beat him too.

I enjoyed the read and especially the Locke-specific insights thanks to his role. The piece could have benefited from a proofread, though.

What is the move you would have liked to have seen? I felt like signing Diaw and Joe Johnson were clear signals that the Jazz weren't just being cheap.

I hope you don't take this reply personally, because I'm honestly just replying to this argument that has been brought up again and again and again... If his goal is to play for a title then why does it matter? Sure if his goal is to get the finals only, I agree it's easier in the East. But...

It takes two to make a trade, everyone. Let's not forget that. Lindsay has made plenty of bold moves during his time here, and personally I think he did A LOT to convince a talent like Hayward to stay. We won a playoff series with a young team and have plenty of potential to grow. We lost to...

Speaking of MJ... He still thinks your comparisons are quite a stretch.

Actually, it was a tweet linking to an article from his personal website. This was the article.

Just saw this. Too good. Neto's "dialog." Gold.
