How disappointed are you with Rodney Hood?

I was being sarcastic. Probably right about the fit though.

Hood finally has a great game and the topic becomes that Burks doesn't fit. How par for the course on Jazzfanz. I'm a big fan of both of them, and of the job this coaching staff does of developing players. I remain very impressed by the way this rebuild is being run, and although I understand people's frustration with the fact that we haven't become a player in free agency yet and also that we haven't been cashing in trading chips, I think waiting for the trade deadline this year is the much better strategy. Someone we want is going to come available when his team realizes their best strategy is to tank, and we will be in a better position than any other team to grab him.

We need all three of Alec, Hood, and Hayward. That's as versatile of a wing rotation in this league as they come.
Throw in Rudy, Fav, and Exum-- and you have yourself a contending team. I'm really starting to ****ing believe you guys. What a season so far. To go 3-1 without Alec is insane.

To go 3-1 without Favors and Gobert is insane. Alec doesn't really move the needle. He hasn't really proven he contributes to winning.

I think we need to consider level of competition. Jazz got blown out by Minnesota, squeaked by one of the worst teams in the history of the league, and beat a lousy team missing their all-star. Only Memphis, which has been struggling of late, can be considered a somewhat quality win.

Don't you also need to consider the level of injuries the jazz are dealing with?
I liked you allot better when you were a jazz fan.

Yes. But some are reading more into this modest win streak than what it really is. We are NOT contenders once we get Favors, Gobert, Burks and Exum back - not even close. We've beaten some lousy teams, gotten beat up by the better ones. Jazz MAYBE compete for home court next season, then get waxed by GS or SA in the 2nd round - unless Cheapskate Lindsey signs someone of value.
Jazz will never be contenders with the 28th highest payroll in the league. Talk is cheap. We heard it from KOC and now we've heard the same from DL. They keep payroll low so they can be "players" in the next summer's free agent market. When will that be? Not next year: every team will have a **** load of cap space . So once again DL will say everyone is overpriced and he'll be back to signing the $3M "developmental" players.
Jazz have also beat the Hawks, Raptors, Pacers (twice), Clippers and Grizzlies (twice). So half the Jazz wins come agaisnt playoff teams. Damn near added OKC, Cavs and Heat to that list. Some of us, like myself, might be overly high on the Jazz but you are are severly low on them. I don't know how you can be so down on the Jazz.
I agree with you in that DL needs to improve this team this offseason.
