i think we're talking about two different games...i was referring to the UTAH-Phoenix game
Oh my bad...I thought Cubby said the Lakers were playin' the Suns tonight...
no worries...I thought he was talking about tonight's game, but I could be wrong.
I was talkin' about tonite's game.
I've always like the Jazz and I probably wouldn't call them the outright most overrated team in the NBA, but they're up there.
I keep hearing about all this talent they supposedly have, but they still lack the same things they always have: a wing who can create his own shot and a long, rim protecting big man.
I've got them finishing seventh in the West. If they get the right match-up and/or that team has a key injury, they could win a round. But ultimately, their ceiling is second round at best.
No, they play in about 4 hours.
Edit: Nevermind, didn't see the 2nd page of this topic.
butthurt??
Yeah, it was my fault...didn't realize what Cubby was talking about.
Yeah...I'm butthurt over one game.
Idiot.
Tried to tell yas.
Cuban doesn't make many smart moves but he dodged a bullet on that one.
Utah..
i've said this in the offseason, boozer was incredibly productive for the jazz. people expected al jefferson to fit but even if he works at 100% efficiency, the best he can do is replace boozer's 20/10. jazz lucked out in getting jefferson but losing boozer was a terrible thing for that team.
They looked terrible.
Millsap and Jefferson at the same time ruins their interior spacing which is compounded by their lack of outside shooting. Miles looks out of shape, Kirilenko has horrible hair and D-Will should worry about his own performances and lead by example rather than blasting his 2nd game teammate for failing to cross in transition in the middle of play...
TBH, even though I'm not a fan of his and I don't think any team can win a le with him, Boozer is one of the most over-criticized players I've ever seen..EVERYBODY s on him, I don't remember the last time anybody gave him any credit..
Yes, he's a money-hungry, no-defense playing player, but he was a perfect fit for the Jazz system..he was exploited because Utah didn't have a defensive presence playing next to him at C, and because he had a bad matchup vs. Gasol for a few years..
I kind of agree actually.
He worked very well with D-Will because when he received the ball on the roll, he had good body control and could finish with his left hand - actually, he probably finished more with his left than his preferred hand. He also has pretty surprising hops and is of course quite strong. Combined with his decent jumpshot, he was a damn good pick n roll player.
Jefferson just doesn't have any of that in the pick and roll. Beautiful post player, but not a good PnR player and seems to look a little lost when he doesn't have his back to the basket.
Also, while on defense, Boozer was at least pretty adept and knocking the ball away and stripping guys, Jefferson is just flat out bad - that play where Hill got an alley-oop in transition was completely on AJ thinking the break was dead and stopping running at the 3pt line instead of hustling back to protect the hoop.
You know about Stern (or some article in a thread here) mentioning removing a few teams from the league? I have it figured out.
You lose to the Suns this season, you're out. Congrats Portland.
Good call man. I like your team. Even more so after that ass smashing y'all gave the Hype. Good job son.
what team is the most overrated ?
Lmao. Everyone in this thread reacted to this based on one game when we have six players still trying to get used to the system?
You guys are pathetic.
Haha Miami's a work in progress yet we have six new players and they act like we're supposed to be a complete work right now in an offense thats 5x more complicated to learn then whatever the spo runs. Apparently work in progress excuses only apply when Harlem and his crew uses it
Having 6 new players is a sad excuse. You don't want to go there.
So the fact clearly the players aren't used to the flex offense and weren't used to making the baselines cuts and screening for the big men until the game against OKC is a sad excuse? Cause having new players who don't know the system wasn't the reason why for the first time in a very long time Utah had more turnovers then assist.
Please.
This isn't a run and gun system where you can just come in and play street ball it's a completely differnt style of play. This is exactly why so much gametape has been given to Jefferson, the rookies and Watson. Sloan expects a lot.
Come mid season you won't see players making mistakes like this in the offense
