    Dallas down 12-37 to Utah after 1 quarter... and they've got Doncic and Porzingis healthy. The game has changed, it's wild!

    The Spurs bench units have been a fun watch this year.

    Murray-Mills-Vassell-Gay-Poeltl, in particular. Very high IQ and complementary group.

    +36.3 pts / 100 possessions (144 poss.)

    Utah looks very good. They are definitely a threat.

    Some say they can't be a threat with an old school center. Not sure i agree with that premise.

    Congratulations to Joe Ingles for passing John Stockton to have the most made three point shots in Jazz franchise history.

    This from a guy who thought he’d never make the NBA, who was basically signed as a comfort blanket for Dante Exum, who used to be a below average three point shooter for his position.

    JIngles success highlights the value of hard work, and determination.

    He sure gets called a "Scrub" a bunch. That guy just never quits. I'll take a whole team of players that work that hard please.

    he's a lot more than an old school C though. He's a two-time DPOY, a dominant rim-protector, and an elite rebounder.

    Portland could have had him too, if they wanted. They had him in for two workouts but Olshey apparently didn't think Gobert was worth a 2nd round pick. He preferred to sell picks for cash or waste them on TRob

    Butler is really important to them. Herro has missed 7 games also. I think they will be in the playoffs.

    In 7+ seasons, Gobert has tried 3 3-point shots. We miss out on a lot of talent because of Stotts.

    Huh? I know your post was last night but they are currently only 4 games behind the 4th seed with 53 games to play. How is that a bridge too far? It's so early.

    I think they've been missing 3-4 starters, cut them some slack!

    Nah. Since 2014-15, Synder has coached them to 14 playoff wins, while coaching 3 different all-stars.

    We all know that is unacceptable.

    So i voted for the AllStars today. I read the determination factors for starters. It's weighted 50% fan vote , 25% media, and 25% players.
    Is this a change from years past? Is that the way it has always been weighted?
    I thought the fan vote on the starters was weighted more heavily than that in the recent past?

    I think it's a bridge too far because I believe 4 of the teams ahead of them are clearly better. Portland getting HCA does not seem likely to me

    I was talking about Heat. Blazers can get HCA too though.
