I wish QS would do something like this, but this is a players league, not a teams league or coaches league, so LBJ will just step in and coach for QS. I would not be surprised to see LBJ have his own huddles at time outs and shut QS out entirely.

Man the league has become a cesspool of entitled douchenozzle ****nuts. Makes it almost unwatchable. Flopping for fouls, treating people like ****, star treatment from the refs extending to entire teams now, not just players. The NBA money machine might be really strong, and the players enjoy unprecedented popularity due largely to social media, and they get paid more than ever before, but the quality of the product is falling and there is no sign of it improving.

IMO it is the giant salaries that is pushing the quality down. They are kings among men, not just well-compensated athletes anymore. Give a man a million dollars and he will be grateful and give back. Give him 100 mill and he will expect to be given everything.

Hopefully we will get rested Jingles, Conley and Bojan can keep his shooting groove after the break so we're able to secure #1 seed.
After the scandal that was the last game we'll get better officiating in regular season.

That being said, who do we want to face in 1st round?

I would want to face the Blazers personally. Maybe the Mavs but they are a bit of a wildcard and the league is marketing Luka really really hard so I could see another Sixers-esque fiasco in that series.

Makes sense. Most of the league hates Rudy and think he's overrated. I think Utah's success makes them hate him more, because to them it's unexplainable BS. I mean, he's the super tall goofy guy who can't even score the ball himself. He's the opposite of what they have idolized growing up and it confuses them. It's why players largely suck as GMs and coaches, player analysis of another player largely boils down to "Who would win in a 1 v 1". I expect it more from KD. I think Lebron is just trolling tbh because he is way smarter than that.

Lebron is Klutch Sports, aka the agency that reps Ben Simmons, so he probably isnt super fond of Donovan either. Donovan also isn't of that star generation. He's going to be more chummy with the likes of Tatum/Brown/Morant/Young/Murray/Etc.

The highlighted part is what makes it extra awesome when Gobert gets a 20/20 games. The team should do all they can to get him 20 points every night, then what would anyone be able to say? "Yeah, he has no moves...uh, he is averaging 20 ppg....uh, but he has no moves...uh"

Buncha *******s.

I have the same feeling about Luka, league loves marketing and he is very marketable and they would profit with a 1st round upset. But right now, the way KP is playing they stand 0% chance against a healthy Jazz in a 7-game series.

Btw all this all-star drama and the disrespect with Jazz. We could actually benefit from that from a marketing standpoint, the organization just needs to know how to use it. Transform: Shaq vs. Donovan, All-stars vs. Donovan & Rudy, Refs vs. Donovan into Media vs. Jazz, All-stars vs. Jazz, Refs vs. Jazz narrative. Release an oficial video with all that disrespect consolidated and amplified. LB and KD laughing, Shaq interview, all the coments in the big media about Jazz being a fraud, all the most absurd bs calls from Bulls series to the last 76ers game (no all of them, we don't want a 3 hours video). It has to be oficial. Ryan Smith could even pay for comercial time during all-star game to make it more impactful.

LOL that would be great. I would love to see a video of LBJ laughing as they talk about picking the Jazz guys last combined with some video of his expressions and body language after we pounded them in that last game.

Klay ain't playing this year. I would want the Warriors. Would love to beat Draymond and have Rudy play well to help get rid of the stigma that he was played off the floor. They were just too good and it wasn't close when they had KD.
 
It's all about whether you're a member of the bron bron clique or not. They're the "ruling party" right now. One of the reasons I hate the NBA for the most part and loathe Lebron. You never saw this with Jordan and thus while I hated him for beating the Jazz, I always respected him. Lebron disgusts me and will never be on par with Jordan, Kobe, etc...

Personally I'm glad that Mitchell and Gobert are not. Use it as fuel to fire the 2nd half.
 
It’s one thing if it’s merited.

It’s another thing when career losers Julius Randle and Zach Lavine are on the teams.
 
KD hates Rudy... he's openly said he's overrated. It isn't surprising to me. Lebron was trying to be nice with his comments but ended up making it so much worse imo. Open *****ed on the market and team history... because... video games? Like the Jazz haven't had any interesting teams since Stockton and Malone.

He clearly didn't care about potentially pissing off a team in his conference that is trying to knock him off. We don't need his respect so I don't really care much... but its like talking **** before a basketball game.... if you don't back it up you'll look really bad. Hopefully we get a shot at em.
