    Fact, y'all are paying a combined 35 million to Allen Crabbe and Evan Turner.

    And you are a "slow it down team" with no go to scorer. Good luck with that and your "new old" bench. We will see each other in the first round. 3rd seed vs 6th seed, if you are lucky.

    Not my money. Zero fucks given. $35 million is petty cash to Paul Allen.

    And you paid $22 million for two years of 100-year old, zero defense playing Iso Joe Johnson to be your go to guy.

    Maybe he was... the last time the Jazz made the playoffs, but this is 2016-17, not 2011-12.

    The Jazz have a nice team but they still not on our level. They have a very deep roster, a balanced rotation and a lot of talent. In full strength they go 2 deep with talented players on every position. But having good players still don't make a team, they would get better as the season goes on, but we're a few steps ahead.
    Our team at the top of it's potential could be title contenders as it is, the question is how far can Stotts take them towards fulfilling this potential. We're still forced to use less than optimal lineups because we're only 3 deep in the backcourt, so this should be Olshey's challenge to solve. Anyway, we also still have ways to go. Should be an interesting game and an interesting season.
    Go Blazers

    Me too. It's like when your co-workers bring their kids into the office. They're amusing and naive, and often you just need to smile and nod and then go about your business.

    Nicely done, and it is true on the defense. The Griz had/have true low-post scoring and low-post passing too - which this Utah team, as nice as they are - do not really have. (yet?)

    I know this troll war flamed out early this morning, but I thought it should be pointed out what those same "relevant basketball mind (sic)" said about the Blazers last year:

    http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2015/10/how_theyre_ranking_the_blazers.html

    Probably a pretty good reason why we're not especially impressed with their forecasts this year.
