All You Negative Nancies Ready To Admit You Over Reacted??

[Stoked]

The Jazz can now finish up to tied for 3rd or as low as tied for 4th going into the lottery.

Favors is resigned.

Favors has shown improvement on O.

Burke looks to be panning out into a solid starting PG.

Kanter looks to be consistent on rebounding and O now. His D has improved lately as well.

Burks is a highlight real and looks to be the 6th man on this team.

2 1st rounders coming up in this draft.

Money on the books to be spent.

And it appears to have been decided that Corbin is gone. Lots of hints he will be gone.

I also got to the end of the road much calmer then you. Hate away criers.

I've been more up and down this season than a yo-yo in a 90's elementary school.

Time to start my #Randle is #Hungry campaign me thinks....

I do not see the Jazz choosing Randle unless they get jumped. I think Utah has Wiggins, Parker, Exum and Embiid all ahead of Randle. Wonder how they compare Randle with Smart and Gordon tbh.

Well I like to keep my expectation low. If we get those top 4 players, fine, but I like to temper my expectations.

It's not over till it's over! I honestly did not think we would end the season like 5-25, we had been playing some better basketball. I'm just so excited now!

Wrong. All 5 of the core progressed. #1 pick wold be phenominally huge for this organization going forward. The core got time. Just not the way you wanted.

Sure they should. But unlike you I am not going to deem all other advances for the players and org as worthless because they didn't.

 

[Hotdog]

See my threads. I knew this would be a good year.

 

[addictionary]

I don't wanna get into too much categorizing about this core 5, but I do agree that this season must have been used to try these high potential players play together regardless of whatever the crap would happen. It appears, playing RJ and MW over and over again was more important. Maybe they did not want the tank to look too obvious, I don't know. I think even if the intention was to win anyways, they should play the 5 instead of RJ and MW. I think Corbin did a trick in there to blame Enes for the losses. If he did, **** him.


This season needed more Gobert and Ian.

They won't be ready to play or to get traded in the beginning of the next one.

Alec Burks shined too much on people, but his thing was already there. This season earned the Jazz frozen *** Trey, more self-confident Enes (in the last few).

It can only get better from here.

I was with you all year man. Kept tellign people to calm it down a little and to let the year play out. Right now things are looking good.

 

[Hotdog]

Admittedly I broke down one time and got worried the Jazz were trending the wrong direction.

I unfortunately agreed with Negative Nancy Ugli at one point in his personal forum.

It's OK. We all stumble from time to time. But thru calmness and optimism we can be forgiven.

 

[JAZZGASM]

I am more pessimistic. I feel like this was a perfect year for the young core to jell without worrying about the W/L column. Additionally, it was a year to find an identity both on offense and defense. Corbin had a chance to shine and showed his true colors. We have an inconsistent offense, a coach that isn't putting a fire under his players, and simply hope the draft pick we get will pan out. But don't expect a turn around next year without a major shift in team philosophy. No one in the draft seems to be the type of player that will have an substantial, immediate impact.

Additionally, even though Gordan had a bad year, I expect him to get a large offer from another team. Teams realize he was in a position where he couldn't do well. I really hope we match any offers and keep him. I also hope we have a coach that will run a jazz-style offense. I am tired of watching mediocre basketball. The reason I loved watching the 2004-5 season was because even though the players were less talented as a team than pretty much any Jazz team since, they played as a team and ran an offense, and played good help defense. It distinguished the Jazz from many other teams. Now we are just one of many teams playing inconsistent individual basketball. I have not enjoyed the past two seasons.

 

[UGLI baby]

LOL @ Stoked pretending like he's the King of positivity all the sudden.

ALL year I've been confident this team would get it together, win some games, and get pretty hot down the stretch leaving us with about 30 wins.

Good ol' Stoked was consistently saying, "nah, I still think we will lose a ton of games and be one of the 5 worst teams in the league this year. Just wait, we'll start losing bro. Trust me."

I'll admit, Stoked was right, but I'd rather hope for sunshine and be disappointed with rain than to expect rain every day of the week.

Now Stoked doing his best spin job even though he predicted losses all season.

Could the year have been even better? Sure it could have. Jazz could have the worst record and the Core could hav eplayed 30 minutes together every game.

But the Jazz are sitting in a fairly good position. We saw the players develop and what looks like the exit of Corbin. Now we are going into our second offseason under Dennis Lindsey's leadership. We were all blown away with what he did last year. Let's see what he does this year with 2 picks, a coach vacancy and room to sign some free agents.

Jazz are not in perfect position but they are in a damn good one. WHy be negative that it wne tgood but not perfect?

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Lol, I was positive all season. You rode me hard about not freaking out like you were. I over predicted on wins but I didn't ride the emotional roller coaster you built.

So who really had the good attitude here. I think you know the answer.

Don't get me wrong, I am cautiously optimistic, but the team has not had direction for a while. If we actually get a real coach in here maybe I will change my tune. If we don't, I don't see the status quo changing. It isn't about focusing on negativity, it is accepting reality. And for me, it isn't even about wins and losses. It is about playing good team basketball. I'd love to make the playoffs, but what is the point if you are to the point when you can hardly stand to watch the games? I just feel like we are doing things backwards. To me you get a good coaching staff and philosophy in place first, and let the pieces fall into place. You can draft to fit your playing style, and take a few years to get everyone on board with the team concept. I think it was obvious to everyone that losing Horny while keeping Corbin as coach was a mistake. I don't think any of us realized how good Horny would do with the Suns, but we have SO MUCH more talent then they do (outside of Dragic and Bledsoe, I feel like our entire roster is better). And this is Horny's first year!
