Quotes from preseason game 2 vs the Suns

Their big beef is that Utah does not recognize the greatness of Booker. The Jazz fans on Reddit's biggest beef on Booker is that in every single Donovan Mitchell thread for his first two years in the league Phoenix fan would always break in and have to talk about how much better Booker was. It was tiring. As far I know, Jazz fans don't break into every Ja Morant or Luka thread demanding people praise Donovan Mitchell. Utah has its insecurities, but that was a whole new level.

The truth is that most Utah fans didn't care one way or another about Devin Booker, until Phoenix fan demanded that we pay homage. Screw them. And now that they added Chris Paul, screw them harder.

I'm on reddit more than this forum, and the game a couple seasons ago where Booker checked back in at the end of a blowout to try to get to 60 points also played a large part in the Jazz-Suns animosity. That did not go over well on the Jazz reddit
 
I think Booker is better than Mitchell. 2 years ago I'd say Mitchell's D gives him the edge, but the dude barely tries on D.

Ehhh, I still think Booker gets a lot of empty stats. He hasn't carried teams like Mitchell has. But then again, Booker doesn't have a Gobert.

It's like the KAT vs. Gobert debate to me. One is shinier, but Gobert is just a better option if winning is your ultimate goal.
 
I think it's hilariously funny that Suns fans automatically think they are a very good team that is going to make the playoffs as an 5-6 seed, because they have Chris Paul now. And better yet, are better than the Jazz and... and.. will be seeded higher when the playoffs starts. I mean, c'mon, the Jazz are still clearly a much better team.
 
That was an ugly quarter of basketball.

This was exactly my feeling. Fortunately we figured a few things out and got it together. I really hate when we struggle and Mitchell starts trying too hard, it makes the game cringe worthy.

On a positive note it's great to have ja's quotes thread back. Hope he's a busy, busy person this year!

But KAT and Gobert are 2 completely different players. It's an apples to oranges comparison.

Booker and Mitchell are basically the same player now that Mitchell doesnt try on D. Mitchell is still better on D than Booker, but Booker is likely the better offensive player (MItchell could take a leap this year and surpass him, sure).

Booker is definitely the better offensive player. I think he lacks discipline with his shot distribution, though, and that’s where Mitchell closes some of the gap.

I really hope this isn't a reality and Mitchell gets back to making an effort. No one wants to max Rudy for only playing defense, how about if Donny only plays on the offensive side?
