    The elephant in the room (Rudy Gobert)

    I took a year off for the most part after we traded one of the best and most promising players in our franchise history in Donovan Mitchell. I knew we would screw up the "tanking" because we aren't a tanking franchise. Then I see a thread and people are still trying to lift up Rudy's legacy...

    The elephant in the room (Rudy Gobert)

    Nobody made any stupid comments about Don like saying he was a top 10 player in the league. He was a more important playoff player for us than Rudy even though the system was built for Rudy. But Don has gotten better in Cleveland in a more balanced NBA system. He plays with a PG yet still...

    The elephant in the room (Rudy Gobert)

    Lol. What? Basketball is a team game that requires good coaching and sometimes out of this world player performances. That's never changed. Don didn't play out of this world in the first round. Not close enough to make up for a poor roster and bad coaching for the Cavs. Rudy, a supposed top 10...

    The elephant in the room (Rudy Gobert)

    True. In 10 years, it's a worthy discussion but likely no winning argument. I can't believe that we still have people actually believing Rudy was ever a top 10 player. Mind blowing to me.

    The elephant in the room (Rudy Gobert)

    Rudy was never a top ten player even though Quin did every possible thing to emphasize his strengths and minimize his weaknesses. It was all built around him to succeed. The playoffs are a clear indication of how much false product Rudy Gobert really was. If there was a NBA Playoffs All Star...

    Jazz trade for John Collins

    I swear Ainge finally started building the perfect team around Don but after trading him. A range of options for PF and C. A great SF. Scorers. If we would have just used a Rudy pick last summer to get Lauri (who was clearly available), we would be a free agent addition of Bruce Brown away...

    2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

    Smart replaces Dillon Brooks in the starting lineup who is expected to be let go. Tyus played really well for Memphis so that's a low key decent loss for them. Not sure if Smart is better for Memphis than Tyus, 2 1st rounders and Brooks Smart is definitely the best player in the deal for...

    2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

    Sexton would be fine as a bench player on a contender. Put him in a culture like Miami, and he would probably flourish. He reminds me a little of pre-Jazz Jordan Clarkson. Floating around until the right fit.

    2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

    My fear is that Phoenix is able to trade Ayton for a bunch of quality role players. Denver went from good to contender when they added the guys supporting Murray and Jokic (Brown, Gordon, etc). Bigs, unless they are extremely positionally versatile like Jokic/AD/Towns/Bam, are not as necessary...

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    Pointing out the obvious is not making excuses. The Knicks outplayed the Cavs as a team. Sorry if the truth hurts the narrative you're always trying to force.

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    Another example of "you should do your homework" before speaking. There were 4 guys other than Jimmy Butler who scored over 10 points last night. Adebayo had a triple double. Mobley average 9.8 for the series even though he played 38mpg. Allen averaged like 8ppg in 38 mpg. Don had an...

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    Nobody can carry a team. How far did Steph Curry go when Klay was hurt a few years ago? That's right, lost in the first round. Sometimes Cy, you need to stop attacking, watch some basketball history, and learn why things happen. The Cavs showed all the signs of why teams struggle in the...

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    I just don't agree with this assessment, and not because who posted it. Young teams struggle in the playoffs, and the Cavs were no different. Don and Brunson put up identical numbers so it wasn't one over the other in that discussion. It comes down to who surrounds the players leading the...

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    Nothing amazes me anymore, but some of you guys just simply don't acknowledge that it's a team game when it's all said and done. No single player wins a game or a series. Everybody has to pull their weight. The Cavs are razor thin and they rely on freaking LaVert to be an impact player for...

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    I believe they did, and many agree with me. They completely missed the playoffs the year before, and they became a home seed in the Eastern Conference and won 51 games. They rely on 9 players under the age of 26 making them one of the youngest teams in the NBA. If you break down their...

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    Dude I'm good. I came in here to acknowledge it didn't go like I thought. The Knicks simply played better. As a team and as individuals. Cleveland exceeded expectations and the young team got exposed in their trip to the playoffs. It happens. They should trade Allen though. He takes away a...

    He should celebrate it. He's rarely right.

    Knicks vs Cavs 1st Round Series (Mitchell Getting *** Whooped by Brunson Season 2)

    Me too. Just goes to show regular season success doesn't always mean playoff success. The Knicks have 10 solid players and tons of athletes. That's the perfect match-up against a team with 2 offensive weapons and not any perimeter defenders. Cavs looked kind of like us a few years ago when we...
