Utah Jazz vs. Brooklyn Nets, Sunday March 8, 6pm EST/8pm MST; Barclays Center, Brooklyn NY

Eventually he will start hitting that little floater. He does it every once in a while and shows he can get to where he needs to be, he just doesn't show a lot of confidence in it yet.

I think there will come a day where that little floater will be a massive dunk.

Bell, the guy who gets a ton of irrational hate for hating Corbin when the entire board also hated Corbin.

Yep. I confess my attitude of Bell changed quite a bit. I think the entire team (well, except for RJ amd Marvin) hated Corbin. Bell was just the most vocal.

I agree. The only ex-Jazzmen I'll boo are the ones who forced their way out of town. Like Fisher. Or Kanter.

My least favorite ex-Jazzman is Aemichi (sp?) not because he's gay, but because that guy continues to talk smack about Sloan and Stockton. Was on Le Batard last week talking about how John Stockton didn't "walk the walk" because he didn't participate in wind sprints at the end of a practice. Made it sound like he was Allen Iverson on something. Guy is a self important d-bag.

my least favorite ex-jazzman might actually be Kanter. If I were in ESA when he came to town, I'd boo hard.

It's a joy to watch since the Kunter trade, eh?

Notes:

Joe looks pretty cooked lately. I wonder if Hood will get a shot in the starting lineup? Or, is he being groomed as Hayward's backup? (He seems to shoulder some of the same responsibilities when he's in and Hayward is out).

My respect for Burke has gone up dramatically. His acceptance of the bench role has been admirable. And effective.

I don't think Millsap gets enough credit as a reason for our culture change. He has been an important cog in the perimeter defensive schemes. I don't think we would have rounded this corner so effectively without him.

The chemistry developing between Hayward, Favors, and Gobert has the feelings of a CORE. It'll be very interesting to see how Burks fits in.

I think priority #1 with Hood is just making sure he is 100% healthy. Ingles days are numbered. I really don't think he is going to get any PT next year.

Jingles is great as a Dante mentor and 12th man next year. Its nice to know if there are issues you have a guy who can fill in, but yeah he needs to work on his towel waving.

Id put Rush, Foye, Koufus, Harris ahead of him and that's active players.

How can you hate on Randy Foeye? If that dude were younger I'd STILL want him on the team. . .

I read Amaechi's autobiography and I don't remember him saying anything negative about Stockton. I remember he said Sloan had different rules for different players and I guess the story you posted is an example.

Sloan let Boozer get away with never playing defense, so I can how a player would get frustrated.

Wut??

Harris I can sorta see, but Foye and Koufus? Rush was coming off a major injury... he may have dogged it, but it was on a tanking team and he was a minor detail.

Kanter was who we got the one time we move up in the lottery. If that pick would have hit, then we'd be almost a lock for the playoffs next year. He was supposed to be a major piece, unlike every other guy you listed.

How can you be hating Boom Bitches. I think if they had kept him and the draft picks they gave for Big Al, the team would be a lot further along now.
