Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors Tonight at 7pm MST 11/3/2017

Flashback Friday...



Blow it up?

Now that we have two superstars is it time to shed some weight and go for the championship gamble?

Favors, Burks, Hood and maybe even Rubio... gone. Accumulate picks, get some young studs/free agents. Shoot for title in 2-4 years.

Yeah, but Snyder needs to accept Hood for what he is, and forget about turning him into the next Haywood.

I agree with CY(other than last night when he was just wrong) that Hood isn't taking enough 3s. That's because they're trying to turn him into a guy who can penetrate and score. The thing that sucks is he's absolutely capable of getting good looks on penetration, but for some reason doesn't have much touch on those little 5 footers. If he ever did, he'd be a pretty deadly scorer, so I understand why they wanted to try and go in that direction.

For now he needs to be bombing away from 3 land. Same with Jingles. The team as a whole is passing on too many open 3s. I'd like to see Quin make a conscious effort to get the ball to anyone who drains one, and see if they can hit several in a row.

Yeah, they need to take more threes. Anything to turn it over less.

In the games where the defense is dominating, like that one against OKC, I'm almost tempted to believe the Jazz best strategy is to waste twenty seconds and jack up a three. Obviously, that doesn't apply to tonight, the D got crushed.

You can't blow the team up unless you trade Gobert, so you would just be giving away talent and getting smaller returns back (most likely). What, we pick up some mid-late first round picks and pray we draft good players? You know how hard that is? Like what is the gamble? Betting on mid first round picks? Hoping we attract a UFA that we will inevitably have to overpay for? This blowup talk makes no sense.

Glad you're not the GM. This is loser mentality, you don't get better trying to lose. Philly is a very rare case.

Think about what the Jazz could get for Mitchell. Super tempting.
