This 35% option was added by the NBA. Basically it is the highest pay/respect you could give him. Do you really think Donavon would have been OK with the 30%? I don't. I think we learned from...
To be fair you are comparing Gobert on his worst game of the year and Ibaka at his best. Ibaka is shooting a solid 40% from downtown this season, but 5/7 is an outlier. The 3 point shot is the...
I think a lot of what you said was fair. Man I miss Ty Corbin. He was so easy to blame. I agree Quinn needs to be better. I also think we are lucky to have him. I really doubt we could do...
:laugh:You called it! Ha ha. They don't know what to do.
Everyone deserves some blame. Even Rudy hasn't been good. He has averaged 11.3 points and only 7.6 rebounds the last 3 games. Joe has...
Maybe that is where we belong. We are probably the 5th best team in the west. We are moving in the right direction, just not as fast as we hoped. Bogey is an upgrade from Favors. Extending Royce...
Grading our offseason moves
Mike Conley- D, 13 ppg and 4 assists is not what we ordered. Missed 22 games already. If I ordered this on Amazon I would have sent it back by now.
Bojan...
Before the season started we were all so hyped about this team. Our expectation was we were getting the 21 point 6 assist Mike Conley, and a legit #2 scoring option. A back-court of Conley and...
The Rockets are just a bad match-up for us. We struggle against any team that switches everything on D. We struggle against a 3 point shooter at the 5. Athletic guards are blowing by our guys. ...
Kemba lost that game last night. It was just one bad shot after another in the fourth. Pass the ball.
$100,000 per quarter may sound generous, but it's not. They made that much in alcohol...
Time to share my unpopular opinion. I think the Saints should let Teddy walk. He was only above average. Anyone that pays him big dollars is going to regret it. Why not use that money somewhere...
I'm starting to think we are going to end up playing the 4/5 match up again, and possibly the Rockets again. It would be a battle. Honestly, it could go either way. They already drive me crazy. I...
What a fun game. I agree about Jordan. He has been a nice surprise. He may be 10 times better than Exum. Cavs fans can't be happy about that. I like the idea of Clarkston ending the game.
For the past 40 years the teams that have won an NBA title have a few things in common. 1 they almost exclusively come from the biggest markets. 2 they drafted an elite talent with the #1 pick in...
I like you JazzNC, but this is just crazy. We will be fine. This is just a difficult time of year. Nearing the trade deadline throws some guys off. Some are just tired and need a break. Some mail...
We had the same problem last year. Favors and Rudy wouldn't bully the little guy. Can we please get Malone in for a little consulting. We should be licking our chops when a guard tries to man up...
When anyone asked Favors last year about coming off the bench he said "I'm a starter". Yep, we started him, but he was typically on the bench when it mattered. Now we are playing the same game with...
That was just an ugly game. Our guys were not into this game mentally. I wonder why. Is it because players are this upset over Kobe? Are they tired from so much focus they needed a break? The NBA...
I agree. We have a nice rotation that is working. Why change it. In some ways I can see the Jazz unloading Davis to get out of his 5 mill next year, but Davis is an insurance policy if Rudy or...
Royce just got a 4 year extension, 9 mill per year. This is a great deal. Based on his production I thought he would get at least 10. Some may disagree, but Rolls Royce is a solid defender,...
I like Conley off the bench. He led a team of scrubs last year. That may be where he can help us best. That said, there is no freaking way coach will do that. For the same reason Favors had to...
Crowder and Favors were not the answer. That was the right move. It's time to trade Exum and a filler for a big man.
IMO there is zero chance we trade Conley. This organization doesn't believe in doing business like that. I'm sure the players appreciate it. We have committed to him, and he is going nowhere. Yes...
According to basketball reference our second unit is getting worked.
Jeff Green is a -2.9
Mudiay -2.6
Niang -1.9
Exum -2.2
Davis -2.0
As bad as Conley has been he is only a -1. Rubio was...
Great points. I agree with your assessment. I'd like to add a few.
Ingles shot is just not falling. With Favors gone his pick-and-roll effectiveness is much worse. He needs to go back to more...
