    Hayward will go down in '17-18 history as an anomaly: the free agent departure that made both teams better.

    Sorta.

    Well Jazz didn't get anything for him so it didn't make them better really. Mitchell and Rubio were already there when he ditched them.

    I think they could have done sign and trade so that Jazz would get some value back but not sure how that would have worked cap wise. Celts were looking to offload Crowder and Bradley then but Jazz did not need either.

    BTW I really like Ingles.

    I just watch Bucks vs Kings. Kings are getting killed from the bucks defense. 3 turnovers in a row from the Kings and the bucks are 14:0 after 4 minutes. Joerger bench the complete starting 5 after 4 minutes :D the bucks are scary with Bledsoe now

    He is one of those players people call "glue guys". Every team needs one. Does the dirty work. All-around game is there. Not outstanding in any one area (outside of maybe 3%) but average or better in every area (which is rare).

    I agree, great "glue guy", always makes the right decision. The funny thing is, he used to be a poor 3pt shooter. He's improved his 3pt shooting through hard work, and determination.

    As much as I enjoy Warriors players getting ejected from games, this one is ridiculous. Shaun Livingston was obviously fouled and the ref missed it. Livingston goes to argue with the ref who walks towards livingston and creates contact by bumping heads with livingston. The ref then ejects livingston for contact with a ref. These refs need to be reeled. They aren't the show. They aren't tge main attraction. They need do their job. They shouldnt get to act that way or any way they want. Their needs to be reprecussions.

    Livingston headbuts ref??

    The ref initiated that contact. If anyone needs to be disciplined its the ref. Both blind and a jerk, putting himself above the game.
    Silver needs to overhaul the refs in the NBA - they're a disgrace.

    Sure the ref initiated the contact, but Livingston wasn't in a legal whining position. If he wants to draw a foul on that ref, he needs to give him the necessary space to operate.

    Rudy Gobert is back for the Jazz. For sure they will make the playoffs, so the race is:
    (without order): HOUS, GSW, OKC, MIN, SPURS. Blazers Nuggets NOLA and Jazz for the last 3 spots. I hope we can make above the 8 seed this year. Jazz about to have a 6 game winning streak. Mitchell is Damian Lillard 2.0

    They still suck on Offense and their spacing is terrible. I am not worried about the jazz. And btw, look at their December Schedule, they have a brutal Schedule on december

    Here is what his new agent is saying to Deandre. You heard it here first:

    The Jazz have been playing much better without Gobert. It remains to be seen if they can integrate him effectively.

    Fun fact: only 8 players on our roster were born before we last went to the finals. Only Evan Turner is old enough to possibly have a first-hand memory of the 1992 NBA Finals.
