yeah milsap the guy who was +15 on the court, the highest of any jazz member

+/- is a retarded statistic to use to prove anything, especially in one game.

I get the sense we lost when OKC went on a 25 to 7 run in the third.

Not without Harden they don't. OKC is very good, but we could have beat them tonight. Only lost the last game by 4.

Doesn't matter-- two of their players are top 10 players. Their third is a shot-blocker with almost 3-point range. C'mon bruh. This would have been the best win of the season if they pulled it out. Factor in Dante and Rudy?

Let's make some lemonade out of these lemons. Hood finally shot the ball well.

why? because you said so?

 

[MTS]

why? because you said so?

No. Because there's 19 other variables that go into that number that have nothing to do with the player.

All blaming Millsap but at least he played decent defense. Booker got 30 minutes and brought almost nothing on the table, he was running around for nothing. He is hesitant to close around the rim, he does not rebound on defense, he can't shoot free throws.

Did I not tell you? I don't really believe in +/-.

y'all bitching about moral victories are hilarious. Are basketball players not ****ing human?

This is how humanity grows. Each, and every single one of us. Jordan got his *** whooped by the Pistons before he acclaimed greatness. Lebron got whooped twice in the Finals before he succeeded. Even this ****ing OKC team has routinely had their asses handed back to them.

We are not gonna hit the Finals-- I'm sorry. This is a year for growth. For cake-baking. I don't care wtf you call it. We will continue to nurture our players, just like we did with Favors. We will maintain cap and asset flexibility, in order to make a splash if we're feeling the need for a run.

We will make the playoffs this year. That is what should be the expectation. Anything more is unnecessary, and strays from the long-term vision of this team.

this is so obvious. Our biggest flaw right now is our big depth. There is nothing that comes anywhere close. Hard to win games when our defense goes anemic without Derrick.

the player +/- is simply the point differential for the team when the player is on the court. not 19 other variables

 

[Bawse Dawg]

lets also remember we are missing two starters.

Except our team is completely ****ing different than theirs. They had a good PG, a superb two-way big, and a good scoring PF. Zero wings.


We have arguably the best trio of young wings in the NBA (all who complement each other differently), inferior PGs, an incredible two-way big and a defensive stud at the 5.

Any talk about ceilings for this team is so ****ing insane. The truth is this: we have no ****ing idea. All that we know is we need to take the long-term growth route. Patience.

Did you write this in 2013?

This was the year to turn the corner. Now it's next year? Year after that?
