Added to Calendar: 03-31-22

So excited about this team right now! Nice to have Bogey back for one thing. That and Gobert looked like an MVP candidate tonight, laser focused on both ends. Had to be part of the offensive game plan going in but Gobert responded in a big way on numerous pick and rolls gathering in every kind of pass and looking incredibly athletic at the rim over the HOF Howard. Loved the fact that he even rolled out an old school Chamberlain finger roll. :p

The other thing that got me "jazzed" was the fact that Snyder actually grew a pair and stood up to Rudy Gay! Hernangomez plays with a lot of poise, doesn't just look for his shot, plays both ends and is just the better player right now IMO. If we can beat the higher seed in the first round, look out league!
 
It was nice to have Bogey back. The spacing was so much better with him on the court. It was nice to have House back as well, although he was getting lost on defense for some reason. I wasn't exactly sure if it was his fault or not.

I don't know, for me this wasn't a super inspiring win. The Lakers looked awful, and for most the game we were happy to just play slightly better. I would think after a 5 game losing streak we would come out more hungry.

Great to finally get a win. I can't tell if we played better tonight or if it just looked that way because we were playing such a horrible team. Regardless, a wins a win.

One thing is for sure. Bogey has a large effect on the offense. He dodnt play great by any means but when he was out there things worked better. His spacing he provides is huge. Best floor spacer on the team

Depending on how big an *** Gay is in the locker room… Gay might be given the Jeff Green treatment if that were the case. There are some signs that he’s not had great vibes with the team. It’s just signs and weird little **** it may not be the case at all.

He looks really unhappy all the time. Seems to fit horrobly with the team personality wise.

I know it was viewed as selfish and “dangerous” but I still think it’s impressive and resourceful.

I mean what was the pick up line “ girl you pretty smoove with that swab… I got a testing stick I’d like to get some help wit”.

Paschall and Juancho are 25 and 26, but we're going to lose them both because of 35 year old Rudy Gay who is already worse than both.

I think Juan stays... is he going to get anything more than the minimum. Eric is just too wonky of a fit and has had some weird stints lately. I'm fine with him staying at the minimum but i don't think its a huge loss and I don't think he gets an amazing offer elsewhere.

With Juancho, I think the biggest competitor will be Europe, not another NBA team. There were rumors about him getting a buyout and going back to Spain during the deadline. With him I think you need to give him some guarantee of role/opportunity and probably offer him more the minimum. I don't think the Jazz will do that if Rudy Gay is on the roster.

You know me, I was the most skeptical of any anyone when it comes to wonky stints....but Paschall is a talent. He's good enough and will likely come cheap enough that we should just sign him to a 2-3 year deal....but we won't because we have Rudy Gay. Quin really doesn't like him, but it's likely that Quin is not the coach next year. Maybe he gets re-upped in a please Donovan move.

I just think that it's also good to sign guys who are reasonably young, come cheap, and you're confident in being able to play in your rotation. Especially when you have an expensive team + cheap owner. You have to have a few guys in your rotation making <$5M a year. I wouldn't mind if the Jazz liquidized Conley, Bogey, and Clarkson into picks and we just ran with younger players and guys like Juancho/Paschall who can very easily become bargain contracts.
