I don't think we're ever going to find guards who can stop their man from getting to the basket.

Probably the first of about 20 G-League level scrubs this year.

It's not even how many threes the opponents hit. There has to be a freaking way to stop a team taking 8 threes against you in 5 minutes. Just force them inside.

I've been complaining to my wife about how long the off-season is for the NBA compared to European football leagues. I never understood why they don't just start the season in September and have fewer back-to-backs.

I have long believed that most US-based NHL teams' names, logos, and colour schemes have been devised by 11-year olds. No reason why Utah should be different, I suppose.

I think that's even less likely than the post above you.

The Jazz don't play games in a vacuum. It's not just about how bad or good we are, but how good or bad other teams are. There are at least 6-7 teams in the East simply worse than the Jazz, and most of them actively tanking. The West may be tougher, but there are still bad teams like the...

We have so many of them that someone is almost certainly going to ball out. Hell, it's probably going to be two or three guys this year.

This is probably the biggest thing. The Jazz have like 10 players who are either good or young enough that they may well become good in a couple of years. There aren't too many players on the team who have peaked at mediocrity.

Yeah, I'm not sure how a tank is going to work here. We've got one player who's a bona-fide stud in Lauri. Sexton is probably closer to that category than many here would like to admit. Clarkson is Clarkson, but when he's locked in, he's deadly. Collins is a solid starter in this league. We...

Do these Rockets jerk*ffs also somehow play in the Aussie league?

Is this like how Kansas City is actually in Missouri?

He's been day-to-day the last 7 years.

They're not going to allow the team to fall apart specifically because they don't want us to get premium picks. That's the problem with trades for a bunch of future FRPs.

COVID. COVID. COVID. How many times does this need to be said? You can't just ignore the worst global pandemic in a century and pretend it had no effect on immigration, economy, inflation...everything. Including the very league that caused this forum to exist. The Lakers and their Mickey...

I'm not necessarily proposing some sort of a violent seizure of all guns, but at the very least, further proliferation of guns can be limited. I often think about this gun issue the way we've seen the tobacco over the past 60 years or so. It's a public health issue. People are dying...

That's a cop out, though. Mental health issues and availability of guns are not related. It's not like Canada or the UK have amazing mental health support systems or no wealth gap. You gotta think that the fact that the US is absolutely awash in guns is a significant factor in much, much...

I was a couple of weeks short of my 16th birthday when the Columbine school shooting happened. It was an important event during my formative years. I remember all the hand-wringing and blame-seeking by seemingly everyone in the society. I remember spending the next day at school not actually...

Remember that any kind of security system like that is one step behind the people trying to break it. I did not realized that one had to pay for video games(on a PC, to be clear) until I was 12. My father stole Dish Network for almost a decade(in Canada, no less). Once a security system is...

But this isn't how the market works at all. Nor did the government create the initial issue. For one, the market may not simply drive wages up, but rather force those companies to leave. In a globalized economy, those factories and plants don't need to be in Springfield. They don't even...
