Jazz vs. Trail Blazers (8:30 MT on TNT)

lmao wut???????

Nurk is a top 10 center in the NBA and a huge reason why Portland was any good at D for the prior 2 seasons. He's a huge deal for them.

Oooooohhhh, a REAL top 10 center? Once you get past 6 or 7 the position doesn't matter much anymore. The real difference between him and Whiteside isn't anywhere near the difference between Nurkic and Gobert, Embiid, or Jokic. And, yes, when Portland wins it is because their guards are killing it. If Dame and CJ suck, Nurkic isn't saving the game for them. The Blazers are pretty much the same as last year, it's just that the teams above them in the West got better.

This is just idiocy dude.
 
Don’t see how we could add both realistically

Don't need both of them, just Favors. But if you wanted Crowder too, the bi-annual exception should be getting close to 4 million a season. Favors at 9 mil and Crowder at 4- million. Don't see Crowder getting more than the Room exception which the BA beats.
 
Last year Nurkic had a On/Off rating of +12.4 points compared to Dame's of +13.7.

The guy had a BPM of 5.1. He had a usage rate of 25%. The guy was a massive part of their success and easily their 2nd best player last year.

Yah, he's not the elite of the elite (Gobert/Jokic/Embiid/Davis/KAT) but he isn't that far off.
 
This is just idiocy dude.

Whiteside is having a better season right now than Nurkic's last season when he was healthy. Look it up. Nurkic 15.6/10.4/3.2 with 1.4 blocks (his best season ever.) Whiteside has 15.5/13.5/1.3 with 2.8 blocks (league leader.) Dang your takes have gotten fat, lazy, and entitled. Do better.
 
Favors and Crowder.
Even if we could've kept them, there aren't enough minutes for Favors *and* Crowder behind Gobert and Bogey. The problem we have is there are too many minutes there for Davis and Niang (and until a few days ago, Green as well).

How in the **** can you be a Jazz fan and think basic stats like that tell any kind of story? Holy ****.

Like you know the whole book on Whiteside is empty stats? Do you watch any kind of basktball? Cuzz by your logic Whiteside is having a better season than Gobert.
 
Just another routine win. So routine in fact that Quinn apparently fell asleep at the wheel leaving the scrubs in in blowout mode even after the lead was cut to single figures. And those scrubs even included a player that had never even practiced with the team, let alone run one of their plays. But all's well that ends well and I am encouraged that he gave Clarkson the green light. Baptism by fire, the kid's a full-on Jazzman now!!!
