Game thread: Jazz @ Bulls - Nov 8 - 6PM MST - ROOT Sports

A perk that can aid the Jazz in a way.

We're currently ranked 29th in the league in offensive efficiency. Watching us go up against the Bulls defense is gonna be baaaad. Almost as bad as watching our PG's try to guard Rose.

Tank on.
 
I'm kinda looking forward to seeing Tinsley trying to guard Rose. He'll probably blow his ankles out when he crosses him up.

The judgment is not of the work as 'art,' but of the history of the symbols used to represent Tyrone Corbin as a black man and of their association with racism.

Did you look at the links in my post? The artist (intentionally or not) draws upon racialized ideas of African Americans looking and acting 'childish;' of having 'immature' tastes for only sweets and fats (i.e., compared to whites' more 'sophisticated' tastes). Again, if you look at the links I posted, you would see that in the plantation-era, fried chicken and watermelon were used to symbolize the contented slave; as in, slaves were like children who only needed their base needs tended to in order to enjoy life on the plantation. It became a way of reinforcing the idea that slavery was mutually beneficial to master and slave.

To be clear, I am not saying that Trollol...etc knew these things when he drew the comic, only that his use of fried chicken, watermelon, and pickanniny imagery goes far beyond matters of mere taste, as some of you seem to suggest in your replies. As I hope I have explained, it goes much deeper than that.

So new update! From the twitters.

Burke hit a twelve foot jumper with his right hand during practice.

Rush will probably play tonight.
Aaand
Marvin Williams could play tomorrow.

I'm most excited about a Jazz point guard hitting a shot, one handed or not.

This is good news.
