Portland way more talented than Jazz?

[margodydek]

I'll bet before we had him you would have listed him at least five and possibly ten places higher. Familiarity breeds contempt.

I'm not sure I'd have ranked him that much higher, but I agree 100% with your premise - We always think the grass is greener somewhere else. As far as some of the guys go on that list, the reason I'd want them over Harris is how our team is currently constructed. Straight up, I like Harris better, but for what this team needs (as Locke would say a ball mover, not a ball stopper) I think the Calderons and Holidays would fit better.

You started ANOTHER thread just to show us how slow on the uptake you are. Do you have syphilis?

Holy crap just don't read my threads. Your obsession and stalking of me is creepy.

Also most of my threads always have 3 plus pages.

Suck on those apples.

I don't know about talent, but I do know that overall, they are a whole **** load better than the Jazz.

It's about time they started to do better. I was starting to feel sorry for them after all their injuries. Speaking about teams, have you seen the MAVS lately? HAHA

You felt sorry for a billionaire tycoon whose only way to succeed in the NBA is to outbid small market teams? Interesting.

they have talent, yes, but a lot of it is that they're guys are willing to do the little things to be good. they're sixth in defensive efficiency and fifth in rebound rate -- those are talent indicators but effort indicators. you see a team like that outperforming expectations by just playing hard and it reminds you how much of coaching is just salesmanship. he gets those guys to buy into the vision and suddenly he has a powerhouse team even with a middling roster. hard not to respect that.

GMs have nothing to do with that LOL

They literally have everything- Experience, athletes, shooters, perimeter and low post defenders, creators, great coach, low post scorer.

Their frontline is super thin though. Especially when Aldridge is always going down.

More talented? No. Currently better players? Yes.
