    I figured they’d lose this one, then I read Kristap was out and I thought for sure we got this. Honestly though, this loss doesn’t concern me at all - it was just one of those games where all the luck, all the 50/50 balls went the Mavericks way; not to mention just the dreadful shooting...

    I was talking about the Jazz I didn’t say SA is a small market haha SA is definitely much smaller than the Lakers, Clippers, Boston and Miami though. It’s not just about warmth. I’ve heard it’s nice though haha I don’t know.

    It’s enjoyable watching my small market team that no free agent wants to go to who can’t get any buyout players get beat by a big market team that every free agent and buyout player wants to join when my small market team worked their tail to come this far and spent years developing? No not...

    Dude haha you’re missing my point. I’m not saying it’s one or the other. I’m saying it was one big thing playing against smaller market teams as you’ve stated -now it’s two big things going against you because players are now bullish about joining big market teams too that are already stacked...

    So because the league is already lopsided with super teams created by GM’s, you’re ok with making it more lopsided by the best players in the leagues also creating super teams? That’s like saying your food is already a little spicy, you might as well add a ghost pepper. If it’s already lopsided...

    I disagree because they don’t have to give him the ball unless they really want to expose someone in the post. Bojan on the Jazz got smoked like 4 times in a row from the sixers using that strategy. The more ways a team CAN beat you not HAVE to, the better the team is. He’s also a veteran that...

    Buyout market

    I think we can take them. It won’t be easy but I think we have the advantage of health, chemistry, and fire. You know Don and Rudy hasn’t forgotten about all of the haters this year.

    Going to Cleveland was a basketball decision because after he left they got Kyrie and Love. He wouldn’t have gone back unless they had the pieces of a championship by then. But! I still give him credit for going back im not hating on LBJ but I do think he started the super team mentality. Oh...

    Nba don't want the Jazz to win the title.

    It’s easy to say when you’re a fan of the big market teams. Without parity though it’s 3 or 4 teams competing for a championship per year at most, some years even less. How about we just have only the lakers and Brooklyn in the league the next two years? What’s the point of a regular season? 95%...

    Nba don't want the Jazz to win the title.

    But what you need to understand it took him several years to win a championship he was not actually placed on a team with stars they collectively put the work in as a team to get better. I guarantee you even if he was placed in a small market he’d stick with them. He even stayed with his psycho...

    I do agree it doesn’t compare. Lebron wasn’t going to a historically great team like the warriors wow haha that was basically just cheating.

    This is founded on absolutely nothing haha did Jordan ever hint or suggest he would do that. He was loyal to the bulls from the get go and what did he do when he lost to Orlando and didn’t make it to the playoffs after winning a chip. He got pissed and got even better; made his team better.

    Nba don't want the Jazz to win the title.

    So when KD, an mvp, left for a historically good warriors team when Okc nearly beat them in the playoffs it’s good he left because he’d be a washed veteran otherwise? Haha what? Lebron left Cleveland in his prime to join a super team because he would’ve been washed if he stayed? Yeah many...

    Nba don't want the Jazz to win the title.

    I don’t know what the league can do to stop super teams from forming but it’s becoming a real problem. It doesn’t make it feel like a real championship if a super team wins. Golden state with KD is not a championship, it’s automatic and inevitable. It’s like high school players beating...

    Nba don't want the Jazz to win the title.

    I HATE the super team mentality. “I’m not talented enough to win with my own team so I’ll join a team already loaded because I want winning to be easy” This is why Jordan will always still be viewed as the better player over Lebron. Lebron chases rings by joining up with his friends. Jordan...

    Quotes from Grizzlies (game I)-"Playing the Jazz 3 times in one week should be illegal"

    I think they are because in many ways their team is a lot like our jazz teams, especially jazz teams in the past. They just play scrappy and hard from start to finish and you gotta respect that. Ja Morant is also “ rilly gewd and athaletic” as Barkley would say). I like watching him play.

    That guy Morant can ball. Also, what do the jazz do in the playoffs when you have a talented fast team on the break like that? In some ways it takes Rudy out of the game.

    Can Donovan be a Good Defender

    But those are either some of the best players ever or some of the best players now. What I mean is it’s rare, even more so for a guard his size. I’m trying to think of a player in the league right now who is his size that is elite offensively and defensively, I know they are out there but it’s...

    Can Donovan be a Good Defender

    You know I sometimes actually wonder if Quinn, not necessarily encourages lack of effort for Mitchell defensively, but allows him to be more lax about it so he can focus more on his offense. If Mitchell is exhausted from the best defense he can give, could he be at full strength offensively...

    Trade for Jerami Grant

    I think outside of our three all stars anyone should be on the table to trade if Lindsay truly believes it can make us better. He’s a smart GM. No one has a crystal ball but he has good instincts. We just need a bit more size and toughness. It would be nice to have someone who can get onto the...
