What's new

Gamethread: Utah @ Jeffersons Tonight 5pm or some such time

7-16 is nothing special.
Again, 4 3s, 2-2 from the line. That's 20 points on 17 possessions (and a foul drawn...and no turnovers); a fantastic shooting line for anyone in the NBA. Not sure what league you've been watching.


But only 4 assists?
Was Trey making the right plays?


Burke is shooting 39% for the season thus far. That's TERRIBLE!
What does that have to do with his performance tonight?

Safe to assume you're trolling?
 
I think we need to concede the #1 spot to Milwaukee. Jazz should also finish better than Sacramento, Philadelphia and Orlando. Phoenix is a great surprise, but both Brooklyn and New York are much, much worse than expected. Lowered expectations on # of wins for the Jazz, perhaps, but still see them in the 6-8 range. That's actually where I had them pre-season, but I also expected to see some great play out of Kanter, Hayward, and Favors. I'm probably more discouraged than ever right now. Hayward and Favors are no better than 3rd/4th options, Kanter is looking like a back-up and Burke is a mid-level PG. Utah may have a nice team with the picks they get, but just don't see them ever contending.

Man you are jaded as **** about some of our players. Favors has been quietly playing quite strong lately. Burks has really woken up and improvement is obvious. Kanter is hitting some walls right now, but he's like 20 or 21 years old. Hayward's been a disappointment, but he's also saving us money by doing it.

I'm a "quasi-tanker", but I can only imagine the meltdown that would occur if we tanked our way to the worst record, and ended up with the 4th overall pick, which is the most likely scenario.

Almost twice as likely for the worst team to get a top 3 pick than it is to get the 4th.
 
I edited my post.

That's true. It's a funny statistical set up.

It's more likely that you get a top 3 pick then not a top 3 pick, but it's more likely you get the 4th pick than getting any of the other ones. Anyway... my point is tanking our way to worst pick is hardly a sure thing... remote from it, even.
 
How can any jazz fan be happy about the direction this season and franchise is going?

Because they think one of two things.

1. The Jazz can somehow gain a superstar without a top pick in this draft, and win a championship that way. (wtf)

2. They're fine with never winning a championship. (wtf x 100)
 
Life's too short to watch teams lose game after game. I want the Jazz to win a title, sure. But I'm busy and have things going on and like to watch my favorite players have a good game (ie Burke). I understand the hypertension arm-chair Mr. Burns style GMing and strategic plotting that is all over this board - I used to be a complete subscriber. And it's a totally legitimate way to be a fan.. I'm not bagging on it at all.

Still I just don't know what you want us to do. Bench Burke? I'm sorry but I won't agree.
