Morning all.

Apologies if this has posted before, but as a Utah Jazz-fan, I just wanted to post a link to this podcast: http://weareutahjazz.com/lockedonjazz/2015/12/10/tip-off-december-10th-leadership-quarter-poll-contenders/

Our NBA-insider, David Locke, has his own system for finding out who the contenders in the NBA are. You guys are on his list and as he talks about you a lot in this podcast, I thought you`d like to hear it.

Could be a fun listen. Thanks for posting this!

XM radio Above The Rim has a segment called, "Chill", where they play hyperbolic announcer calls in a competition to find the most hyper one, and so far the leader in the clubhouse is the intro to this podcast where Trey Burke scores vs Porzingis and the Utah announcer goes wild, "He's a weeble he's a wobble but he won't fall down!" Way too funny. Chill!

But, yeah, thanks for noticing CHA and posting. Interesting.

Thanks. FYI for others, Hornets comments start around 8:30. Believes no one is paying attention to Charlotte, that they've been overlooked. "Charlotte's legit, I missed on them terribly."

Appreciate the notice but we are nowhere near contenders. We would be insanely lucky to get to the ECF even if the east stays like it is

Stranger things have happened, nobody expected the Hawks (or Pacers before them) to be anything but treadmill teams either before they became ECF fodder (which, realistically, is our best-case ceiling since we aren't beating Lebron). I'm with you though, still feel like it's early and even winning a single playoff series would be a big achievement.

With that being said, I expected this team to win 35 games with MKG and 30 without him, so maybe this guy is right and we've stumbled onto a special mix.

Well I'm starting to believe. The team plays more cohesive without Al. There's now an extra player out there setting picks, switching on D, running back in transition, etc. There might not be a team with better flow from the 1st to 2nd units. For some of these teams it must feel like they're facing the first unit the whole game. I love demoralizing opponents and watching them turn on one another.
