Official Utah Jazz 2015-2016 Pre-Season Thread

The idiom is not generally used to convey the idea that a peg of one shape doesn't fit through a hole of another shape - as a small enough square peg will fit through a round hole, and a large enough round peg won't fit through a square hole - but rather that a peg of one shape isn't a good fit for a hole of another shape. Ironically, this is made abundantly clear in the wikipedia article cited by Cy (who apparently doesn't actually read his links, as both provided in this thread destroy his argument). This is also exactly what stoked was trying to communicate, even if he didn't use the same, completely arbitrary shapes generally used in the expression.

I enjoy correcting people who combine ignorance, arrogance, condescension and pedantry.

Also, size=width is ****ing dumb; maybe you should join Cy in that geometry class.

Does it make you hard? If so, your welcome.

(I gave you something to correct there for a little extra stimulation!!!)
 
Does anyone else notice how Hayward almost never says anything good about Burke? It's a few days into preseason and Hayward is talking about Neto and calling him "Wolf" like they are best friends, complimenting his play during training camp. But really throughout the years I struggle to remember him saying much good about Burke. I really get the feeling Hayward doesn't like Burke at all.

And on the flip-side, does Trey ever talk about Hayward? It seems like nearly everyone compliments Hayward other than Burke.

It was very obvious last year: Hayward will not pass the ball to Burke -- anyone but Burke. Make of that what you will.

The most obvious time I notice it is when Burke talks about leadership. He will often mention himself and Favors, but usually not Hayward. He is legitimately the only player who doesn't name Hayward as a leader and the only one that mention himself (Burke) as a leader. I get that every PG probably refers to themselves as a leader, but I find it hilarious Burke almost refuses to mention Hayward in that capacity (from what I've seen, I may have missed it a few times, but almost certain).
 
I wish it was regular season already. Hard to get excited over pre-season games.

What I hate most about Exum's injury is that it puts Burke back into the starting lineup, which screws with the chemistry of the other four. I hope Burke made great strides in his game over the summer; otherwise, we will struggle to make .500 unless one of the other pg's step up.
 
Some of you guys are already in mid-season form with the comments about the supposed drama between Hayward and Burke. ;)
 
I am excited that the season is starting it will be nice to see how players have improved. I don't care if it is preseason I want the Jazz to destroy the Lakers.
