I fully believe Donovan- while not at MVP level, is at the point in which once the playoffs start, he flips the switch from 23ppg to 40.MVP level player that just dominates every game. Teams can do it without one but its rare.
This jazz team is incredible no doubt. My main concern is guarding big men in the playoffs. Rudy is Rudy. But I’m not sure even he can stop an Anthony Davis in the playoff or Jokic. I’m strangely not worried about the clippers but the Lakers boy...they played pretty good 3 point D and stopped Donovan every time we played them last year. They are just bigger than us.This team is a monster. I personally think they’re the deepest team in the NBA, we’re going to the WCF’s, and I won’t be shocked to see us in the Finals. Literally, our biggest weakness right now is when they don’t wear the yellow uni’s.
Come at me.
If you believe that, why are you watching NBA?Don't worry, the officiating team will be instructed to make sure a larger market team with better star power wins it all. Better for entertainment value and the bottom line.

Well since it had never been done before, I dont expect him to do it again.Donovan mitchell did in fact do that. However, was his first round last year a surprise to most? Yes. Do we expect him to that again. Nope.

Because it's entertaining. Duh. You know movies aren't real but you watch them. Why?If you believe that, why are you watching NBA?
This. 100% this. One more body to throw at Lebron and Jokic (and AD for that matter) would go a long way.Jazz weaknesses - Jokic and LeBron
If we can keep them to their averages while Joe, Conley, Royce and Bojan show up consistently in the playoffs, we can play with anybody.

I don't think there's a player out there that can. Someone who can slow them down would be great though.Tell me about the player who can stop AD and Jokic

I always find the black-and-white view of this interesting. It’s as if people assume the league would have to be sitting in a dark room, writing out every outcome down to the final point, and since this is totally unrealistic, then we must be witnessing one of the most pure enterprises in recorded human history, where player effort and skill is the only realistic variable in every outcome. This blinds us from the reality of the league’s ability, and desire, for putting wind in the sails of certain narratives and storylines.Because it's entertaining. Duh.

Should I make a “let’s sign Kevin Garnett” thread?I don't think there's a player out there that can. Someone who can slow them down would be great though.
Actually, I'm not sure we have any decent trash talkers besides Jingles. Not a bad idea.Should I make a “let’s sign Kevin Garnett” thread?

For anyone who’s ever used a Ouija Board, what the Ouija Board says is a representation of the participants’ collective desires, but this fact often tends to elude them, as their influence over it is largely outside their conscious awareness.

No one can stop them but I worry we rely too heavily on Rudy defensively. Against smaller teams it’s doable. Bigger teams we might struggle...Slavko Vranes. Him or Pavel Podkolzin.
