One thing is for sure - I love Royce O'Neale. Guy is a long term keeper for sure.

If you look at the last 4 playoff games against these guys, 3/4 of them have been blowouts. 2/3 have been the worst playoff losses I’ve ever seen (game 3 last year, I was there at the game. I left once we fell behind by 40) and take your pick between Sunday and today. The only worse playoff loss I’ve ever seen was when the bulls destroyed us in game 4 of the Finals.
Excellent point.
We’re a small market so signing the big time free agents isn’t going to happen.
That makes it all the important that you make smart free agent signings and excel in the draft. We haven’t done that.
Why didn’t we sign Seth Curry? We should’ve gotten Gallinari two summers ago instead of waiting on Hayward. And we’ve been poor in the draft. Two scores and the rest have been major busts.
Local media needs to put Snyder and Lindsay on watch. They've gotten a pass for far too long.
I've been saying this for quite awhile now, and have been blasted for it. But I wouldn't put Snyder on the watch list just yet...unless it were revealed he's the one who has ultimate say on the draft picks and F/A signings. You can only coach the players you've been given. And Lindsey hasn't helped him much. Sure, Gobert (which he only gets part credit for), Donovan and Joe. But nothing of note outside of that. DL has wasted pick after pick and not signed any FA's.We were a better team last year. I've been saying that ALL season. And ALL season people here have argued otherwise.
I'm wondering if people will finally admit it now.... no, probably not.
Facing a much better team will do that to you. I don’t think the jazz lack passion. They lack talent.
Nah, it’s actually true, but it was Don Nelson and not Cuban. He told Larry H. that he’d give anything on his roster for AK. Could have been said in gest.That never happened. Most ridiculous thing to even speculate.

Local media won't criticize. They're all owned or controlled by the team.
Here’s an odd question.
Have the jazz ever been less competitive in a series?
I’m trying to remember when we’ve been swept before. Last time we were swept was in the first round with Big Al against the spurs, right? But I remember in that series we weren’t losing by 20+.
I remember the last time S2M played, we were swept by the Kings. But I don’t recall losing this bad.
And before that maybe once against the Lakers or Warriors? It’s hazy since I think you’d have to go back to the early 90s late 80s.
So the question I’ve got is, have we ever been less competitive in a series? If losing by 20+ in a sweep doesn’t wake up management, what will? Right now this is the worst playoff series of all, BY FAR.
As I said in another thread, the Jazz are lacking a lot more than just "a third star". At this point I'm really starting to question whether Gobert can be a central piece to a TRUE championship contender... not a 5-8 seed playoff treadmill team.

Not in my lifetime. The Kings sweep comes to mind but there were competitive games sprinkled in that series... This is just ridiculous. It's worse than the Warriors series a few years back.
IINM, Larry H. killed a couple of trades involving AK. The last time would have given Utah salary relief one year sooner. I remember KOC being livid when the trade details were leaked (it was before the season began) and then the deal fell apart. I want to say it was AK for Marion's expiring, but I could be wrong.Nah, it’s actually true, but it was Don Nelson and not Cuban. He told Larry H. that he’d give anything on his roster for AK.

We got swept by the warriors 2 years ago. But no, I can't remember ever looking this bad. Plus the Rockets seem to be on fire and get the 20+ lead that we can't comer back from anyway.
I never heard that. Sucks if realRumors were that Mark Cuban offered to trade Dirk for AK and the jazz brass said no.

Exactly. I remember we had hoped to steal maybe one game against the kings. Malone, Stockton, and AK47 (maybe harp too) were good enough to keep it within reason. But it wasn’t like a massacre like what we’re seeing in this series.
You could tell what to Tonight was going to be like after just the first minute of the game.
The rumored AK for ____ deals included Marion, Ginobili, and “anyone on the Dallas roster.” One of these is not like the other.I never heard that. Sucks if real
