Stifle Tower
Punch Bowl Re-Filler
Reality set in.
This season was about RJ, and what we "owed" him.
It was about watching Gobert on the bench.
It was about watching Marvin play decent until the trade deadline only to see the wheels come off.
It was a season of no defense.
It was a season of watching Hayward go from maxish player to role player.
It was a season of sucking, but not sucking bad enough to get Wiggins or Parker.
It was a season filled with crushing defeat after defeat.
It was a season I'll hopefully forget.
Can't argue with most of your points. I didn't mind the defeats. What I did mind is not seeing the "core5" lineup together. Ty needed a scapegoat to try to save his sorry %$^ and blamed Kanter for the 1-14 start, not the fact Lindsey had provided him with two YMCA-quality PG's to backup Trey. I never understood not sticking with the same lineup and just putting in Burke as a starter, then seeing what the results would be. And the RJ love. Don't get it. Jazz didn't "owe" RJ a thing. Jefferson could have negotiated a buyout. Instead, for some odd reason, Utah helps him rebuild his career, which benefits no one EXCEPT RJ.
