BlastingNews - Utah Jazz NBA off-season grade

[8]

One thing I feel gets sometimes overlooked in this offseason shuffle is that Gobert's massive improvements were just as, if not, more responsible than anything for the jump the Jazz made last season. It wasn't just Hayward's big offseason strides that took the Jazz to the 2nd round and over 50 wins.

Going into the season, I view this team as better than the one from two years ago, which is where Vegas has them pegged. Gobert is already a far superior player to the 2015-16 version, the starting point guard isn't an LOL, Ingles has improved a lot since then, Hood should be better. Also, they won't be playing guys like Chris Johnson and Elijah Millsap due to the stealthy additions of Sefalosha and Jerebko. Diaw is gone.

Favors is a huge question mark, though. He was much worse last season than in 2015-2016.

With all this in mind, I def think they can achieve 45 wins or so.

DL losing Hayward for nothing is a failure on his part. Can we please just acknowledge that it is his job to avoid what happened. If the GM is helpless then why have one?

Yes, evidently we need to hire Nostradamus as the next GM so that he can predict what our free agents will do before they do it.

Yes, evidently we need to hire Nostradamus as the next GM so that he can predict what our free agents will do before they do it.

Nostradamus already predicted all this:

Century X
4
At midnight the leader of the army
Will save himself, suddenly vanished:
Seven years later his reputation unblemished,
To his return they will never say yes.

So Hayward (the leader of the army) vanished to save himself (moved to Boston). He was with us 7 years with his reputation unblemished, but later he will regret it and want to return to which we will never say yes.

Also this one is about Favors.

Century X
32
The great empire, everyone would be of it,
One will come to obtain it over the others:
But his realm and state will be of short duration,
Two years will he be able to maintain himself on the sea.

Favors will come to obtain the great empire - lead us to the rings, 2 of them to be precise, before he succumbs to injury again and reaches his end, but he goes out a champion.

And then there is this one is about Rudy and his coming dominance:

Century X
80
In the realm the great one of the great realm reigning,
Through force of arms the great gates of brass
He will cause to open, the King and Duke joining,
Fort demolished, ship to the bottom, day serene.

Rudy is the great one, reigning, obviously after several championships, and through the force of his go-go Gadget arms. Then an aging LeBron and Durrant will want to come to Utah (the King and Duke), but instead Rudy will demolish heir fort and send their ship to the bottom, and the Jazz nation will be at peace (day serene).

See it has all been foretold. And so it will come to pass.


Nostradamus laudanda


ut Gobert regnabit in aeternum


Amen

Do you even watch Jazz games? They don't play ISO offense at all, they are all about the pass, haha.

Yes, they are about the pass and moving the ball, but they also play a lot of ISO, especially at the end of quarters or for the last shot -- think JJ, Hood, or even Hayward. They all did a lot of ISO, and Burks when he played.
