What does that even mean!
That could mean they relaxed and dropped their standard.

Let me ask you some questions. I want your honest answers.
(Only looking at guys that i think the jazz will try to keep around next year or are already under contract)
Do you think Exum improves next year?
Do you think trey lyles improves next year?
Do you think alec burks improves next year?
Do you think Derrick favors improves next year?
Do you think rodney hood improves next year?
Do you think rudy gobert improves next year?
Do you think joel bolomboy improves next year?
Do you think gordon hayward improves next year?
Do you think joe johnson improves next year?
Do you think joe ingles improves next year?
Do you think george hill improves next year?
Do you think quin snyder improves next year?
Do you think dennis lindsey has drafted well with late first round picks?
My answers?
Yes, I think dante exum improves a lot next year.
Yes, I think trey lyles improves a lot next year.
Yes, I think alec burks improves a lot next year.
Yes, I think derrick favors improves a lot next year.
Yes, I think rodney hood improves a lot next year.
Yes, I think Gobert gets a little bit better next year.
Yes, I think bolomboy gets a little bit better next year.
No, I dont think hayward can get much better than he was this year. But i have always doubted him and he has always proved me wrong so who knows.
No, I think Joe Johnson gets a little bit worse next year.
No, I think joe ingles stays about the same good.
Tough one. I think hill might play a little bit worse but should be healthier so im gonna say overall with better health he provides more production next year.
Yes, I think quin snyder improves next year.
Yes, I think dennis lindsey has drafted well late in the draft and since we have multiple picks in the first round next draft i expect him to add 1 or 2 good players to the team via the draft.
We were a 51 win team with TONS of injuries (might have led the league in missed games again after leading in that category last year) and made it past the first round of the playoffs in our first try with this squad even though the injuries to gobert, burks, hill, and favors continue to plague us in the playoffs and hayward even gets food poisoning.
The Future of this team is extremely bright if we can keep these guys together.

Exum is playing better than expected. Should get more minutes, probably. OFF BALL, OF COURSE.
But, still, smh at the +/- Robots and the idea that this is a valid critique to what Cy said.

Fish U forgot one key question to add to that list tho lemme do the honors;
Does the field improve next year ?? (to that I say YES)
Does the field improve next year ?? (to that I say YES)
It is always a bummer to lose but I like the fight that the Jazz put up and I feel hopeful that we can get game 3. If we win game 3 I think we have a chance at game 4 and can at least make GS work for this series.
Hayward had a good bounce back game. He was much more aggressive and played well all around. He needed a little more help.
I loved seeing Exums energy and him attacking. I liked that he tried to take it at Curry 1 on 1 even if he failed a couple times on it. That aggressive mindset is what people wanted out of him and he showed it in the playoffs. I think he deserved a few more minutes but I am glad he got 14 minutes. Although I think 20 would have been more appropriate this game. I am very high on him. I think Snyder is high on him as well so we will just have to see what his long term plan is for him. I am sure he has a reason for how he plays him. He has some flaws but I think consistent playing time and role across next year, now that he is recovered from his ACL, will do him wonders. He will also get a healthy off season to really work on things. It is hard to work on anything including shot and handle when hobbled from a major knee injury.
Gobert played better this game but I still think he can step it up. Hopefully coming home will help him step up to another level. GS has no one that should be able to slow him down.
Mack had an decent game filling in. You cant blame the loss on him. There is things he could do better but overall he was pretty solid. His defense is rough but he put in a good effort.
We dared Green to beat us from three and he did. Hats off to him but its not a bad strategy he is shooting .308 from three this season which is worse than Lyles shot this season. You have to conceded some shots to the Warriors and he is one you take a chance on. Had he shot his season average that is 2 or 3 less 3s so 6-9 less points and this game actually gets pretty close possibly. Warriors were hot from three and are hard to stop when they are. Everyone was saying watch out because we lost by 13 on bad three point shooting but they had a great shooting night and we were even closer in this game.
We still played sloppy at times but it is nice that we won the turnover battle.
We have to win the rebounding battle now. They came up with a lot of balls we should or could have got, especially some of those O-boards to give them second chances. To beat the Ws we have to win all the little battles.
Its nice we had even FT shooting. I thought there were some bad calls but I would not say we were on the short end of the stick the reffing was fair. I also like that we made our FTs.
I wish we had a healthy Favors or even the Favors we had against the Clips. I think he would make a huge difference.
This series is a bad matchup for Joe Johnson and Diaw. They cant take advanatage of players as much as they did against the Clippers. Ws have a lot more length and athleticism to bother both of them. Diaw did have a decent game though. I am glad he saved his good 3 point shooting for the playoffs.

Do you think Exum improves next year? YES
Do you think trey lyles improves next year? YES
Do you think alec burks improves next year? NO
Do you think Derrick favors improves next year? MAYBE, IF HE IS HEALTHY
Do you think rodney hood improves next year? DEFINITELY
Do you think rudy gobert improves next year? TO SOME EXTENT YES
Do you think joel bolomboy improves next year? I DONT CARE
Do you think gordon hayward improves next year? I HOPE SO
Do you think joe johnson improves next year? NO
Do you think joe ingles improves next year? NO
Do you think george hill improves next year? NO
Do you think quin snyder improves next year? HELL YEAH
Do you think dennis lindsey has drafted well with late first round picks? YES BUT MADE A DISASTER WITH EARLY PİCKS IN RECENT YEARS (BURKE, KANTER, EXUM, THEN PASSING OVER LEONARD AND PICKING BURKS, PASSING BOOKER PICKING LYLES)
GOBERT WAS A LEPRECHAUN LUCK, NOONE EXPECTED THIS OUT OF HIM. AND RODNEY HOOD IS DECENT FOR HIS SEED. BUT STILL I DONT EXPECT TWO STARS FROM THIS YEARS LATE F.R. PICKS.

Serious question.
Does Locke 'undress' any Jazz players like he does Exum?
Is there an agenda?
I think we will win 3, but lose 4 in close game. 5th game will be most important for me. How hard we are fighting in that desperate situation. And how much we make things difficult for them. Wouldnt want to see a blowout lose in that game.

There's always an agenda with Locke, he's a company shill right? The agenda is of course these 2 words "Damage Control"... His opinions aren't authentic, they're swayed heavily by prejudice , he's CLEARLY got whats called A VESTED INTEREST..
He wants to keep the blame away from the front office and QS... Thats where his loyalties lie, tracing his loyalties back is simple as pie.. There's an agreement in place somewhere, obviously, He gets info in exchange for his loyalty, sometimes he bull****s to help lose the scent, can't fool me tho, I have a great nose for ******** and he's a ****ing patsy thru and thru.

Anyone with half a brain can see that Lindsey and QS have been overplaying their hands.. Severely.. Id go as far as calling it suffering from delusions of grandeur...
