Randle is way too strong for our bigs. I can't even imagine what Zion is going to do.

So Mark Williams in 2 of his last 3 games put up 17/6 with 5 blocks and 11/3 with 2 steals and 3 blocks. So went to watch him tonight. Nope Nick Richards over him as the backup 5 in the 1st half tonight. Weird way to treat your 1st round pick.

Why wouldn’t you hit the rim on purpose there up by 2 with .6 seconds? I never understood that. Now they have opportunity to tie from half court

Waiting for his coach to actually do his job. C’s rookie coach scares me in the playoffs.

MPJ is the difference between good and great for Denver, I truly believe it.

Mitchell hero ball gave that game away. Terrible drive after terrible drive trying to finish through the 7 footer.

This team has been so un-fun to watch for a while now. Predictable slow starts while spending the rest of the night trying to claw back into it. Constantly getting lit up by the other team for three game after game. Horrible rotations and game management by JBB. Love allowing the opposing team to go on 10-runs in a matter of minutes every time he takes the floor. Definitely going to take a break from watching for a while.

I think they can win it all minus any one player but Jokic. But the margin of error shrinks massively (and the need for good luck increases) without a few guys, of whom MPJ is one.

Double whammy for the cavs loss and injury. Cavs don’t strike me as a contender. Still a shooter short

How often do we have to endure the TNT B team?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I understand Jazz fans' complaints about Mitchell not looking for Gobert on the roll. Mitchell just doesn't seem to have good vision once he gets to the rim. Had Allen wide open for the dunk on that last possession but instead chooses to go for the circus shot over the 7 footer after trying and failing two times before already.

We have a dumb organization, what can I say

If Williams played as much as Kessler has for the Jazz, he'd be in the top 5 for ROY and probably even bigger hype
