I think on paper the Jazz improved a lot. But I think in reality it's gonna be better than it looks on paper.

The shooters are going to make everyone better. I think especially Donovan, I expect his efficiency to go way up. I think Gobert is going to be open at the rim a lot. I think Quin is going to be able to run this team the way he really really wants to be able to run a team for the first time with the Jazz.

I've been "more excited for this season to start then ever" like 6-7 times since Karl and John left, but once again, I'm more excited for this season to start than I've ever been.

I have real expectations and genuinely can't wait. Even if we don't go as far as I think we can this team is so effing likeable that this season will be a treat regardless.

According to your link, he went out drinking tequila shots that same night with his buddies, and the sex they had was consensual. So, whatever other defense Porzingis has, "too much pain" is not one of them. So, you are leaping to offer excuses that even the alleged rapist is not offering. Perhaps you should ask yourself why you are so eager to do so.

Having consensual sex is much easier than rape with a torn ACL, I'd imagine. If you fail to recognize this is very possible, then I don't know what to say.

I believe in innocent until proven guilty. The facts that are public make the allegations hard to believe, from what I know.

If he's guilty, is proven guilty or is guilty and proven innocent, I still condemn sexual assault to the highest extent.

Why are you so prone to believe her and not him?

In addition to those guys I enjoy Niang… he makes threes and is pretty unathletic in a very athletic sport... I find his surprising effectiveness very enjoyable. He also grabs at his shorts a lot which is amusing.

I also like when our players slam dunk the basketball, but I don't like it when the opposing team does... that is bad when that happens.

I agree with the slam dunk play. I like Gobert because he slam dunks it, and he doesn't let others slam dunk it.

I like Joe because he smiles a lot and says funny things to the other players to make them mad. Oh, I just remembered, he is funny too.

I like Snyder because people say he looks scary, and then when he smiles he looks really scary.

I will watch for the Niang shorts grab, it does sound amusing. Is it creepy to watch for a shorts grab? Are we allowed to have 2 slow unathletic but effective players on our team?

I think the Jazz will win 55 games this year. What do you think?

I enjoy those things too. I think the Niang shorts grab is funny because he is clearly touching his penis. Not sure it is creepy but maybe homo-erotic. I will say he does it so much you don't really need to look for it.

Jazz will win many games. 55 seems like a good number... it could be 54, 53, maybe 56, 57. One thing I know is they will play 82 regular season games.

I tried. It kept being stupid through the 20th minute, so I walked away.

I think that was where I got too... some guys lean too hard on cussing and being overly edgy to make up for the fact they aren't that funny. There was certainly nothing in there that would lead me to say "you need to watch that" to anyone.

How many playoff games will the Jazz win this year? I hope 16, but I think they have a good chance at 8-11.
 
Shouldn’t basketball be called hoop ball or rim ball. They don’t shoot at peach baskets or any kind of a basket. Now there are basket cases that play hoopball

This is tricky though, because if your assumption is that he is innocent that means that you believe her claim is false, thus she is guilty of making a false accusation. Why is she not afforded the same benefit of presumed innocence?

In any case, presumed innocence is integral to our justice system, but less valuable I think when it comes to simple discourse about potential criminal acts.

As for why people are more prone to believe her than him, it's likely due to the overwhelming occurence of sexual assault and rape in our society, and the comparative rarity of false claims.


Anyway, I think the Jazz basketball is good. There will be a lot of exciting games this year. Dante Exum might become a power forward which is really cool and surprising. I'm very much looking forward to seeing Ed Davis' fundamentally sound box outs, and Georges Niang's incredible dunks. Should be fun.
