MEDIA DAY!!!!! ALL ABOARD!!!!!

[veji1]

Q: What did you prove last season?
Rudy: That I'm an NBA player

Q: What do you want to prove this season?
Rudy: That I'm a playoff player.

Q: What do you want to prove in the next 5 years?
Rudy: That I'm a championship player.

Boom.. That was just awesome.

I liked also what he said about how much he learned from the Euro tournament and the defeat against Spain. It really can't be underlined enough : big competitive games in a "winner takes all" environment are what makes a team grow. People like to say that the Bulls became the team they were thanks to the Pistons, having lost 3 series in a row in 88-90 until finally they got them.

You learn so much in those games and series. He realizes that and he knows that for this team there is only one way to grow : to play games that matter, to get to the playoffs, to play those series against the Warriors, the Spurs, the Clippers, the Rockets... These are the games you learn from.

Man he is a competitive animal..

I don't think so.

It definitely was a dig at Paul George. Later on in an interview with Monson/Checketts, Locke came right out and said it.

Trey Burke's face looks much thinner to me.. dunno what that means though.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

I don't think so. I think the Jazz are truly prepared to go small. It won't be our identity but it will be a used weapon in the bag of tricks. The versatility of this team really is impressive if you stop to think about it.


General response. I like Locke's commentary and breakdowns when he's not towing the company line too hard. Hate his play by play.

Regarding your first paragraph, what did Locke think was so funny about what he said?

Regarding your second paragraph, I agree 100%.

I never considered that I was diluted in the thinking. I'll have that checked.

First symptom is that your concentration is lessened. (Rim shot)

It means that there is less fat on his face probably

Jerret really sounds like the most boring person on the team. You can really tell in the tone of his voice he knows he isn't staying here. Everyone else sounds like they have at least a little bit of confidence.

So media day happened...now what?

Does anyone know where I can pick up a printed Jazz schedule? In years past it has been in Subway or McDonalds...anyone seen them around this season?

Starting to day training camp starts. That means tweets by Jazz writers and interviews giving us insights into the conditioning and progress of the individual players and the coaching system.

Then starting next week we have preseason games!!

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I expect a major change in Burke's contribution. Especially a clear change in mentality as he tends towards passing from shooting.

I'll believe it when I see it.

He just needs to play faster more than anything.

Not going to happen till he stops looking for his shot first

NAOS will be happy.

Locke just asked Burks about a PG-less lineup with some combination of Hayward, Hood, Burks and Ingles.

God let this be!!!!

Burks also said that no matter bench or starter he is here to play hard.

Love me some Burks!!

It means that there is less fat on his face probably

Maybe his fat head won't get in the way of his shot and he can at least hit 40%

Was looking through Burke's stats, dude is a Minnesota T'Wolves killer.

22.3/5.3/4.3/1.5 with 43% from the field and 37% from deep with 4.3 FTA per game.

What is it about Minnesota that lets Burke run a train on them? Is LaVine that bad of a defender?
