After losing to the wizards, they jazz ought to come out focused and put this away early.

A line up of Brown/Bazley/Roby as starters is really good for the tank. Think it could work against the Wizards, Detroit etc.

Bout ready for Dort to take another blow to the head.

Started the game now...Dort stat line is crazy.

Dort worked on his midrange shot during the two weeks he was out...

Is there a more creative way to tank than attacking Gobert at the rim every play?

We should play Bradley more minutes. I'm not really high on either of Brown/Bradley though. Wouldn't mind drafting a Center with the Miami pick but not a lot of bigs in mock drafts...

Tanking is far more fun with Lu

Gotta love Dort

It’s nice to have stuff like Dort’s performance to being a little hope and joy to the end of the season other than draft positioning.

Yeah...The Dort hype is real and while I think he's overrated by most casual fans, Dort could be the 5th best player on a championship team.

Dort is extremely streaky. That’s not a bad thing if we aren’t relying on him as a main offensive producer.

Dort's popularity nationally is wild considering he's undrafted, went to a mediocre power 5 school, and plays in a small market. He's a shoe-in to make all-defense teams pretty soon considering how reputation based that award is.

I wonder how much of that is about the underdog story, how much is about his defensive tenacity, or how much is it that it’s just fun to say “Lu Dort”.

We don't want all of our players to become All-Stars. We need guys like Dort who are going to be really strong players below an All-Star level that won't be selfish and will compliment a core of 2-3 star players.

I really like Dort, he is still really young and has a great attitude. You can tell he is willing to put the work into his game and I expect him to have a Marcus Smart type impact in a couple of years. They have pretty similar stats if you compare them both at 21 years old.
