Jazz media day

[infection]

I find the movement distracting.

Very excited to watch this young, unknown, team play this season. Jazz+ came at a perfect time. After seeing less than a half dozen games last season (and mostly wanting L's) can't wait to be fully on board from the jump this year.

By the way, Collins made a comment about Hill Air Force base being just up the road from here and also a joke at the start of his interview about being out of breath because of the altitude. Maybe they did media day in Utah but early enough so they could then hop on the plane to Hawaii?

Sure enough. I went back and watched the first interview. Made a comment about not trying to name everything because he'd be late to Hawaii.

Interesting. I think this might be the least excited I am for a season in awhile. I just don't love how our pieces fit together. I ended up passing on getting tickets to watch them in person this year. Mostly they come to town on a really bad night for me, but in other years that wouldn't have mattered.

Hopefully the rookies surprise and play big roles this season and make it exciting.

This is where I was last year cuz the whole thing seemed like a Cluster F and there was still like 3-4 trades to make. I like the guys we have and am more familiar and am excited to see the rookies. I share the "WTF is the plan?" type of sentiment with the weird fitting pieces though.

Lauri is fully done with his military service. Finnish media said after the World Cup that he is going back to Utah and that leaves him like 3-4 weeks short of fulfilling his service.... but apparently not.

I'm a little confused by this post.
Is he all done with his military service obligation now? Like no more service in future off seasons?

What made last year more interesting?

I love the unknown of this season. Don't really care about pieces fitting together yet. Or the record, or any of that stuff. It's about finding out more about these unknown players, and maybe getting some idea what this team will be heading into the future. This is actually even more exciting than the last years of the Gobert Mitchell era to me. We knew what those teams were, and more important, what they weren't.

Last year everything was new. We had so many new players and a new coach and a new system. If we won it was cool and surprising, and if we loss it was time to start looking at draft boards.

Obviously this is just my personal opinions and feelings.

Same. Last year I was dreading a long rebuild. Now it seems like it should be a short turnaround. I will be pretty disappointed if we arent at least a play-in team.

They opted out of doing Locke cringy interviews or is that coming in Hawaii.

Collins seems very professional to me. I'm convinced it's all Trae Young's fault.

Some of the stuff in here made me inappropriately laugh out loud here at work.
