Added to Calendar: 04-25-22

I think it's telling of our confidence in our leader that we aren't even talking about the hamstring. How the mighty have fallen.

Going to movies by yourself is honestly a great experience. You gotta go during the matinee obviously. But it’s just nice. You can go see whatever you want. Don’t gotta worry if your date is liking the movie. Don’t got to talk about it after. Can hide in a dark room from the shame of being a jazz fan. Recommend it.

In my 20s it was embarrassing to go to the movies by myself.

In my 40s it's ****ing great
 
Just a pathetic effort! I can take a loss but when you show no heart at all. 10 percent 3pt shooting is embarrassing. Rudy and JC were the only guys who played well. Bogey, DM and Conley were just awful. Jazz are done if they don't start making shots. DM has been really bad this playoff series. Just awful. So has Conley.
 
This was the weirdest game... I stopped watching after a bit in the 3rd, but I thought the 1st half really wasn't all that bad, except all the open looks missed. If we just hit something close to a regular clip, this is a lead or at least a very close game at the half, instead we're down ~20. 3rd quarter (first half of it, then I don't know) was just plain bad.
 
Kind of hope Smith, Wade and Ainge clean out and restructure the front office too, not just the coaching staff (but also the coaching staff please). They put the wrong players around Mitchell and Gobert, handed out terrible deals year after year that have hamstrung us, built a gimmicky roster that was destined to get ripped apart in the post season. This team they built will be remembered as the biggest choke-artists in our franchise history—and our franchise has one of the greatest choke legends, Karl Malone—this team will be remembered as the MELTDOWN JAZZ. Outside of Mitchell’s rookie year, they will not be remembered fondly.

I agreed with the Conley trade back when it happened, and of course we had no choice but to re-sign him this off-season, but it was clearly a big mistake. We raised our floor but put a hard cap on what we were going to be able to do in the post season. That third big contract was our only chance, we had to pay the right guy to put around Mitchell and Gobert. The right guy wasn’t an an over-the-hill, unathletic and overpaid point guard who is too nice to push guys to play better. We needed an athletic swing forward with that contract. Needed some size and athleticism next to Mitchell. All of our trade chips and cap space went to Conley who really is a disaster fit for this team you can’t win with a bunch of undersized, aging guards who can’t hit shots in big games. Especially playing Gobert, who is a great but very limited and difficult to maximize player—we couldn’t afford to pick the wrong third star. That was our chance and they messed it bad.

They went for it. I was happy when they did it. And if I was in the front office, I’d expect them to fire me too. Because now the jazz have really no flexibility or path to fix this without arming the C4 and blowing it all to ****.

Welcome back to the lottery, friends. The dog days are back. It was fun while it lasted. Well, it was fun until this season. But after this, I’ll happily trade this season for three rebuilding ones. They’ll hurt a lot less and at least give us a chance at getting a good piece.
