You should get a medal for spelling that. Well done.

Copy-paste is the bomb.

And not long ago some Jazz fans were talking of trading Rudy for that contract.

A Wall, DM, Exum back court would be insane to watch.

Wall has Beal and Porter right now, and that team just can't seem to ever get anywhere.

I'll take a Mitchell/Exum/Mikal B. back court with Rudy owning the paint.

I'd rather keep Gobert. I just see Wall as one of the few people the Jazz would consider trading for.

Zinger with an injured knee.

Looks like Enes Kanter will get his chance to shine and prove he can carry his winner team to the playoffs! :tooth

Cavs are only 4 games ahead of the 9th place team in the East. Freefall city. What would happen if they fall out of the playoffs completely...

Probably proves LBJ is on the down side of his career.

He should just start his wrestling career already.

GS just lost again. They've gone 6-4 over the last ten games and are no longer a lock to finish with the NBA's best record. Houston has pulled within one game.

I think we broke them! We broke the best team ever!

They probably are still recovering from the epileptic seizures those unis induce.

I watched that Warriors game last night. The Warriors got sucked into OKS's game. They trie dto play iso ball and prove they were better individually instead of ball movement. OKC's defense was brilliant. They interrupted every single pass. Stevan Adams was a bully. And honestly the part of the game I watched from the end of second to beginning of the fourth Westbrook wasn't even very good. If he was hitting his shots it would have been more of a blowout. You can tell the Warriors are tired and expect teams to just roll over. I would love to see the Warriors have to go through OKC and the Rockets in the playoffs. They might be so exhausted they lose to one of those teams. Not likely, but possible.

I think teams have figured out the Warriors.

I think the Warriors don’t give a damn right now and are going to blow everyone away during the playoffs, save for Houston.

Seems like a team with a big man who can put pressure on the rim and then let the other players play the passing lanes is the way to go. And then you just have to pray they aren't hitting their shots and wear them down. That is about the only thing I think a team can do.

Watching the game made me realize how much we need a big wing defender. PG is so damn disruptive to the flow of the game on defense.

I would LOVE PG in Utah, Rubio/Exum-DM-PG-?-Gobert would be nuts defensively. Also if the Jazz face the Warriors in the playoffs Quin needs to call Stew Morrill on how to defend their Cyclone play, take that away and like you said the pass lanes, that team is done.
