    If I'm starting a team, I take Rozier over Irving. Flame away...

    Me too. They didn't go to Game 7 of the ECF with Rozier by accident.

    6 of those games were against Golden State playing at the top of their game. Jazz got swept by Warriors too..

    You think Schroder will be a great addition?

    He'd a worse, PG version of Carmelo Anthony. He has all the same issues Carmelo has (Needs the ball yet inefficient, can't defend) yet worse. That's a horrible addition. They'll have Roberson for about as many games as they did last year, so you can't say that's why they'll be better.. he'll likely be worse than he was too.

    So they added Noel and somehow they're better? I'm not buying it.

    LOL.

    If Rozier ever shoots over 40% form 3pt or 47% from the field or ever averages 20ppg, I'll be shocked.

    But we beat Utah twice down the stretch when they were healthy and playing great.. we have so much more room for improvement than they do.

    It is a new season so we really don't know who going be better. But what I seen in preseason I like how our offense running and how we are pushing the ball up the floor. Even though we lost to Utah in preseason our main rotation players out play there rotation players. Now let look how we are better this year. 1st Nik and Curry are upgrade to Pat and Napier. Nurk so far has improved Collins has improved Layman has improved and even ML has improved. Now the teams like Utah and OKC really about the same as last year they going rely on the same players to lead them. There role players hasn't improved at all or if they did it not that much.

    I dont mean any disrespect by this, but my judgement of players is so radically different than some other posters its mind-boggling. I dont even really like Kyrie lol.

    I'v seen this talked about multiple times on ESPN and other media outlets.I can't remember the media cherry picking stats like this where they go back to the middle of a playoff round and spout off something like that for any other team. Usually its just talk about their shortcomings in the first round or something like that.

    Because their rosters have more talent than ours.
    The same Golden State team you said wouldn’t make the playoffs that season?
