I do miss Rudy but I don't miss watching that part of his game. So frustrating.

Agreed.
And I especially dont miss defending him all the time to other jazz fans who constantly criticized him.

They do look better but if you look closer at those last games: they played them all at home, both Nuggets and Clippers were on a second game of B2B (Clippers sitting Kawhi and PG) and in their game against the Blazers Dame couldn't hit a shot and Nurkic fouled out in a middle of a 4th). Next one is Rockets but we will see after.
Yep. Considering his on/off numbers with us were absolutely bonkers he was the single most important piece in our winning seasons the past few years, but everyone would say "bUt he Can't DefEnd da periMetEr and the Rim at The saMe TimE." Or point to the bloopers like these here and go on about how he can't shoot so he sucks at everything while he wins his 3rd DPOY while leading the league in offensive efficiency.

They got easy goings until January 25th, after which they dive into total schedule hell for their last 33(!) games.
Only 3 games against bottom 6 teams after that (1 vs Hornets, 1 vs Magic, 1 @Spurs) and like 22 of their last 33 are against teams with winning records.
I know that wasn't a pass, but it actually looked like a pass. Like if that was Jokic we'd all be going vrazy
Probably has something to do with it being pretty difficult to jump as a giant with past knee issues
Royce has been way better than solid. He's been fantastic in his role. Was an absolute steal for the Nets to get him with a late first. Perfect fit for their roster.
Clippers are still a solid team even without their stars and they have consistently been the best team at exposing Gobert, so it's still a great performance

Probably should just jump an inch as he is 10ft tall ,

I figured he’d end up there awhile ago. He’s washed, but it’s always nice to go home. Still sucks that we traded a draft pick to get rid of him so we could sign Rudy Gay.
Did he get released? Or did I miss where his contract expired last summer?
He was traded to the Rockets in the offseason and they waived him right before the season started.
Why didn’t we offer him the MLE? Did I miss where DL got traded? I was assured he was still part of the process, and that he was still “100% personally invested in the future success of the Jazz.”
The strategy of “make you a consultant” is the executive version of the TPE. You trade your guy and assuage everyone’s fears about how “oh now we have a TPE we can use,” and all the media push the TPE value in all discussions, only to never mention it at all the next year when it quietly expires.
“Oh yes Dennis is getting promoted.”
“Dennis? Who’s Dennis?”

He may be washed, but will still provide the Jazz more than Dok and Gay.

He's still getting paid on that contract.

Such a joy watching Joltin Joe Ingles orchestrate (a big part of anyway) erasing the Knicks 17 point lead for the win Monday night. Obviously a big part of what they’re doing over there and coach trusted him enough to keep him In during the stretch run. He finished with 17 points. 3 boards and 5 assists with a +14 in 28 minutes.
He said he’d come back better than ever and Coach Bud and the franchise were smart enough to believe him. Color me favorably surprised and impressed!

Bittersweet for sure. I would love Joe on this team. He's exactly the kind of player we need. Provide stability and that vet presence and a little smart *** edge we are missing.
