Officially Jinxed.

We're going to be 4th after the road trip.

I'm down with that, means we can have a tough 1st round series against the 5th seed (most likely Bulls, which would be a good series) and play against Boston in the 2nd round. We didn't have enough adversity last year, so going through the Bulls and Celts would be godly tough

What can i say about Q? he is the weakest link on the chain.....Not a starter imo

Bass was getting the business in the paint as well....Aldridge looked like the jolly green giant compared to Bass out there

it would ehlp our offense over the long term. aldridge regularly played center last year, he's big for the position, plus miller's alley-oop passing helps him especially.

They make good points. We get no slashers, no back door cuts, no fast breaks, the offense is just way too basic. I love Stan for his defensive mindset, but they offense just has to go.

he should keep vince and Q fresh too, you know for the good of the team

Good.

go with

Duhon/MP
JJ/MP
MP/MP
Ryno/MP
Lewis/Anderson

Coach: Howard

We'll be better with the 3's. At the same time, get a good draft pick!

I think our offense makes it seem that way. We seem to ALWAYS set a big man screen for a Vince ISO. IMO it's because our Cs can't spread the floor so we need them to come out if there's going to be a chance for Vince to get to the rim. So it just seems like Vince can't break his man down at all.

I thought Carter had no problem creating space for jumpshots.

Now, OTOH, if he would've said he was allergic to the paint...

sad. He was such an intriguing player, cant think of many more like him in the league now, turner seemed like it at first but he's a got a ways to go before he can get to the level roy was at.

We won't face the Bulls if we are the 4th seed, they'll win their division and they'll be a top 4 garantee.

I'd like the team to make a push at the 8th seed. That way we can face the C's in the first round and we'll surprise them and then it'll be against Chicago in the 2nd round.

Boston,Chicago,Miami

Imagine that.

And obviously we beat the west champs, the T-Wolves.

A win against Utah will make everything go away.

A. he catches the ball and jacks a shot, no creating his own shot
B. he runs around a pick from dwight and jacks a shot, not really creating anything
C. clear him out with the ball, he will drive right 98% of the time and look foolish trying to do so..
D. its been 2 years and hes not the creator we need

not it won't our Basic,Predictable offense will still be there.....Stan needs to go back to the Drawing board or something cause our offense is inept

Now we don't even get to hear Stan since he's taking so long. I'd like to be in the locker room right now.

The only way we win is through insane shooting. Otherwise there's no way a Jerry Sloan team with DWill handling the ball is going to lose at home to US of all teams.

It was the Jazz that broke our swag last season when they seemingly invented the hard close out strategy on our 3pt shooters. And knowing Stan, we'll get a lead and just give it all back with an all bench lineup
