You're being a little harsh in your self appraisal

Just reflecting how a lot of others have portrayed me on this board. I'd probably do better in NY or Philly, where fans are very harsh on their teams if/when they deserve it. But I've been a Jazz fan for 35 years. It pains me to see this franchise where it's at right now. And I'm VERY concerned it isn't all DL's doing. Jazz don't have an owner vested in winning, They have a board directing expenditures and a bunch of kids living off the team their dad built. It's not a situation conducive to spending big to contend.

"Curry is 4 for 11 on shots from 40-plus feet (36.4 percent) this season and 13 of 27 (48.1) from 30 feet and beyond"

DAMN! You could handicap him and he'd still run circles around the rest of the league. You have to say he's having the best season EVER for a shooter. And on the heels of an MVP year. Obviously he needs a few more years at an elite level, but we're seeing a player who may very well end up in the top-20 of all time.

He already is the greatest shooter of all-time, and this season for him stacks up with among the greatest any player has ever had.
 
Dammit Thriller that was depressing as hell. Mainly because now that you mention it, have we really improved all that much? Hayward isn't doing anything different. Gobert has gone backwards if anything. Hood has obviously improved, phew, thank god. Favors, yea, a little better I suppose. Exum, :(

I mean honestly, I'd never call any season a complete waste of of time. But this one is coming damn close.
 
Anyone thinking that our core were all going to take quantum leaps in improvement from last year were dillusional. It's baby steps, unfortunately.

Anyone have access to Mama Burke's twitter? I bet she was in fine form after the game.

The GSW announcers, who are not obnoxious homers and are among my favorite opposing team's announcing crews, were exceptionally rough on Burke last night.

Too much dribbling, not enough passing.

Yes, they have their Curry glasses on. Curry makes it look so easy, it makes other guards look bad. Treys weaknesses are exaggerated when he is compared to curry. I probably did the same thing back in the glory days of Stockton, or Malone. I rember thinking the other gaurds were selfish because they didn't pass like Stockton, truth was they couldn't see the game like Stockton, and could never match his brilliance.

There have been 3 seasons in recent memory that have been complete wastes of time abortions.

04-05, when we signed boozer and Okur we thought for sure we were playoff bound... Until ak and boozer broke and the wheels fell off.

That last season with Jefferson andnmillsap where we kept all the vets merely to let them walk away for nothing in the end.

And this one. This one has truly Been a waste of time. Our offense is painful to watch and our defense often times sucks. Hayward, favors, Gobert are who they are. Good nice role players. But half our roaster belongs in the d league, we don't have a NBA PG, and our coach sucks at drawing plays in the last min.

DL has some serious work to do this offseason. We aren't even close to competing. Can we just forfeit the rest of our games and just plan for the draft? We need a solid 3-4 new draft picks to replace the garbage on our bench.and it sure would be nice if we at least attempted to try free agency

Nope, not the last season with Alsap. The damage was done by then. They were both just expiring contracts and not worth nearly as much had they been traded the year before. Also, the 2 crappy picks we traded for Trey would have been 2 top 10 picks in a better draft. That really has been the only huge blunder, not starting the rebuild sooner.
