I Love Love Love the Team 49 idea. It makes this team unique and creates comraderie of sorts amongst them.
#Team49
Yeah, well, the other part is their galaxy-brain trust thought it was a good idea to go on a spending spree to grab flawed vets on the decline and stymying the youth movement that might've played an important role in their short ascendence. In other words, the existence of the road block is his fault too.Man its clear Leon the Don is such a scardy cat. Never faces the actual media. Couldn't pull the trigger on the big deal. Can't sit down and tell his coach to maybe just maybe play one of the kids he declared untouchable.
Grimes/IQ/Toppin gonna get like 12 minutes a game each.
Contract year, too, essentially...Beasley strikes me as similar to Don is saying the right things and such. Not that I think he's a phony but I worry he laying it on a little thick. I'm hopeful he stays out of trouble off the court and makes some improvements on the court.
They got a number... that's their identity. Okay... problem solved.Also, for those bagging on the "Team 49" concept. Look again at the pics of the team on the Jazz twitter page. It's a bunch of strangers, including the head coach. (Pretty sure that video is of Markannen meeting Vanderbilt for the first time.) These guys don't know each other AT ALL. They need some kind of identity. Team 49 is an identity that god knows this team needs. I like it.
I would... Based on last year there were 4 teams that were under that number. OKC had to lie cheat steal to stay under. Indiana packed up shop early and still didn't get there. We have at least 8-9 legit nba rotation players.Pretty much every oddsmaker has the Jazz at 24.5 wins.
A lot of people here seem to be terrified the Jazz will actually be good.
So will anyone actually make the bet on the over?
