What's new

Thabo Sefolosha DEFENSIVE ELITE FIRST.

Didn't realize Hood was rated so well. Hopefully he improves with added strength, better health and more experience.

Didn't see Ingles ranked. Wonder where he would be on the list
 
Defense is almost always an effort proposition. I think most of our guys have the tools, now if they put forth the effort too we could see a historically good defensive team this year. If they don't....well I hope those new draft lottery rules play to our advantage.

Someone give this man a gold star.

In all seriousness, though, it is cool to consider how many top-level defenders we have on this team. The same authors of this article ranked Ricky Rubio as the 4th best defensive PG in the league (http://hoop.nba.com/nba_hoop_featured/defensive-pointers/); we know about Rudy and Favs; Dante has all the tools to be top-tier, if he can finally get his head straight; and I think we're all just slightly optimistic that the rook is going to be a nightmare for opposing wing players. There's a lot to be excited about, whether we're judging things statistically or just giving it the ol' eye test.

Is this myth ever going to die? Let's give him a big contract and then treat him like we did Enes Kanter.

When the Jazz get 6 steals you can get 6 chicken nuggets at McDonald's for free. They've done this promo for a few years, so I assume it will continue this season.

Excellent. Now I can convince the old geezer I walk with and the other guy who acts 20 years older than his actual age to go somewhere other than Wendy's. I don't know how that chain stays in business.
 
Underrated thread. Our defense was the reason why we made the playoffs last year. Offensively, we were pretty bad. That said, I think we've improved in both areas. Sefolosha is an amazing wing defender. Rudy is an amazing shot blocker. Rubio is a top 5 pg defender and Hood has gotten better defensively every year, so much so that according to the numbers and this article of course, he's considered a stopper. We have a chance to be really special defensively. Hopefully it translates to wins. My bet is that it will.

So Franklin, you're saying McDonalds is better than Wendy's? That's kind of like saying dog poop is better than cat poop. Not sure if I'd even eat those nuggets for free.
 
And he does it wearing Air Max 90s





I just sprained my ankle looking at pictures of him playing in running shoes.
