2nd Jazz win! - Jazz at Rockets: 6pm MT

[stormkoopacv03]

Calm down dude, would you like some Kool-Aide? Its soothing.

Dude, I am calm. Just giving you my calm-like opinion on the matter. lol

I said that when we picked him up, he couldn't get on court for the cavs last season in the finals. He made a solid contribution through the regular season tho. I think thabo and Kyle are gone, Udoh too I reckon. No idea what we are going to do with Ricky. I'd like to see us bring in another shooter either move Donovan to the 1 and find a decent 2. Anyway that's all for the off season. We can wait for White Chocolate to return before we start thinking about this.

Korver is due $7 with nonguaranteed $3.5. I just don't see us paying $3.5 to Kyle so he just goes away.

I could see us trading him though.

The Positives:

* Our effort was fantastic. The team showed great character.

* Our defense was locked in. Very impressive.

The negatives:

* Our roster is just filled with way too many zeroes. You can’t win with 2/3rds of your roster producing nothing. All of our PGs need to be gone next year, Thabo needs to go, Udoh and Bradley are redundant, and if Korver is out of gas then he needs to go too.

* Rudy was awful. One could argue that playing Favors more in this series would’ve given us a better chance to win. Especially at the end of this game. Needs to get physically stronger and needs to continue to develop offensively.

* As much grief as Malone received for his clunkers, this Mitchell performance tonight was an all-time gag fest. Far worst than what I remember from Malone against Seattle or Chicago. I don’t know if the pressure or fatigue got to him. But he needs to work on his shooting and Dennis needs to get him some GD support so we’re not so reliant on Mitchell to do everything.

Frustrating note:

* Exum and his awful contract. It feels like Exum’s failure to provide Mitchell we just a sidekick role might hinder the Gobert-Mitchell era much like AK47’s contract limited our success during the Deron Williams era. I hope I’m wrong and that we can get out of this bad deal. But we desperately need another guard or two through the draft or through free agency, who can provide Mitchell with some help. Even Dlil needs CJ McCollum.

I actually love the idea of McCollum I just don't see Portland letting him go after these playoffs.

edit: also the Jazz wouldn't pay a sidekick to Mitchell $11 mil a year max if they truly wanted him to be a side kick. Exum could be a fantastic 3rd guard but his health as always is the main issue.

we gotta wait out the Warriors anyway.

Hopefully, the wait is a killer though.

He really helped the locker room too. If we need to we can stretch and waive his deal and it’s only like a 1M cap hit. He may retire... maybe not.

Not a chance in hell.

Not after these playoffs. No way. They’re the equivalent right now to the splash bros.

But this is the type of guy we need.

Right now Mitchell is MVP Derrick Rose. He’s being asked to do way too much.

 

[Nate505]

Damn. Donovan is going to be thinking about this game all summer.

I hope so. It'll show what sort of player he is. Will he grow from it, like I hope and think, or will it cause him to wilt.

I was right about **** all season. I said we were not as good of a team as we were last year. I didn't say it from a place of negativity, I said it from a place of realism. People here jumped down my throat for "being negative". Well how did it turn out? I was clearly right. We WERE better last year. FACT. I said the Rockets would beat the Jazz in 5, maaaayyybbbbe 6. People responded with the whole stop being negative schtick. When again, I was just being real about the situation. How did it turn out? I was right... again.

And now I'm still just being real about what I think will happen again and... "right on cue"

This board sometimes smh

People crave being "right" above all else.

Good luck in any relationship you might have.

I thought prior to the playoffs starting that if Portland were to flame out again that McCollum and Stotts might have been let go (particularly Stotts). But it's pretty clear now both will be staying, Stotts in particular has impressed me in how he's managed to make Enes Kanter playable defensively.

I'm right there with you. It doesn't mean we hate this team but it was pretty obvious that this team was pretty good but not THAT good. I'm usually one of the positive ones here and it sucked to be negative this season because we didn't do jack squat to get better and I agree we regressed.

This series showed exactly where we are right now. A good team but nowhere near a great team. That's just being honest, no I'll will towards anybody.
