In the modern game it's more of you get yours then that opens up the game for your teammates.
To steal a line that Jimmy Durante apparently popularized, “so what are we now, chopped liver”? Dude it’s all pie in the sky. We’ve already done exceedingly well in the draft and already have that kind of potential. And whether we tank or not, we already have two firsts coming in. What we really need at this point is to establish a culture of winning imho.
I took it from RealGM's stats page. No idea how they calculate it.
We figured it out. NBA.com doesnt track the OT period stats. The TS% I posted was from regulation.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jazz move on from both of them. There is a reason both were on the waiver wire. DA could start scanning the waiver wire to see if there are upgrades there. Ainge at one time was fascinated by Paul Reed.
Jazz are likely to roll with most of the roster under 22. The center situation was really dicey so that is why we got Eubanks, but we got rookie depth everywhere else.
nah I feel like Lofton is a shoe in personally. Cheap contract, I think he's underrated as well.
Between the two, Lofton had the much better game. That’s on offense and defense - Lofton logged some nice minutes against Jackson. He’s a dawg, I really hope we hang onto him!
And he didn't just miss those FTs, they looked like something slightly worse than what I'd throw up. I'm concerned his offense will just be too bad to make it in the league. He's clearly good enough defensively.
I was impressed by Pippen. He’s a little junkyard dawg. Good find by Memphis.
That's one of the most ridiculous Hulk-*** things I've seen in the NBA since Shaq. Ridiculous to box out TWO seven footers with just your arms.
I was thinking that the Grizzlies only had one play available and the Jazz should’ve put Lofton in as well and had him box out from across the key. Just triple team the 7’4” guy and win the game in regulation. Crazy that he was actually able to pull it off.
