Haha.. I was gonna type that but didn't want to seem overzealous.

Well right now he's easily the most efficient offensive player in basketball and the probably best defensive player.

But yeah there is really no precedent for an NBA MVP with a game like Rudy - at least not in the last 30-40 years.

I get sad when I think about how someone is going to pay Joe Ingles 8 million a year for his next contract and pry him away from us.

I was thinking the same thing tonight. Honestly we will have no room to go after a FA, we can go over the cap to keep him, Jingles relies on his athleticism less than maybe every player in the NBA not named Diaw, he is still in his 20's(shocking) so.... maybe we should just pay him. The Millers should have plenty saved up after the last 5 seasons or so.

I was thinking the same thing during the game. Jazz aren't going to be able to pay Ingles what it takes to keep him - not while keeping the core players intact.

At least he is letting the ball fly now - earlier in the season I thought he was going a little Korver on us and protecting his stats in a contract year. He's not passing up shots that often anymore.
 
We'll get outbid on him and can't afford him if we have any intention of keeping Hood.
Will just have to hope Burks can stay healthy, and one of those 6 draft picks this year is NBA ready.

The cap isn't hard. Luxury tax should be somewhere around 120 million by the time we need to pay Hood. Right now we are paying 18 million for JJ and Diaw. I haven't looked into it enough but it doesn't seem impossible to come up with 8 for Jingles.
 
Random stat of the night

Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz scored a game-high 26 points against the Kings, his 10th straight 20-point game. It's the longest streak of 20-point games by a Jazz player since Karl Malone (11 in a row in the 2001-02 season).
 
I missed the game and just got home so I'm going to read this thread from the start(since it's only 9 pages) instead of watching my recording. Stoked! Hope we won...
 
That was fast. Shortest game thread of all time. Looks like Rudy continues to demolish teams. What a meteoric rise to greatness. I remember when he hiked to the top of Mt. Olympus with Gordon and Jeremy Evans. That's about the time I thought that he would pan out for us.
