[QUOTE]However, it’ll be Gobert’s performance in the playoffs that will dictate how fans around the league view him, and how far the Jazz go in the playoffs. As a result, Gobert’s 2021-22 season will be one of the team’s top storylines ahead of opening night.

it's up to his teammates and coach. He can only do so much

I like those ones. The powder blue sucked
[QUOTE]For those of us who weren’t alive in the 1970s, green has just never felt like an appropriate primary color for the [URL="http://www.thejnotes.com"]Utah Jazz[/URL]. There’s no logical reason why they can’t wear it, precisely. We’d just prefer if they didn’t.
[/QUOTE]
they used to only wear them on St. Patrick's Day because Layden was Irish. Still beats yellow and gradiant
[QUOTE]It loses points for being a little too busy: white, blue, green and yellow are a lot of colors to fit into a single jersey. Personally, we prefer the away jersey: the predominance of the dark blue allows the multiple colors to feature as needed accents. When the primary color is white, it looks like about one too many colors are being squeezed into the design.
[/QUOTE]
those aren't bad
[QUOTE]Was this the best era in NBA jersey history, or was it the worst? We’re not entirely sure, but it was almost certainly the most unique.
[/QUOTE]
I think you stick with the original idea
[QUOTE]Frankly, it’s one of the best jerseys in NBA history. Purple and yellow make for a beautiful color combination. The green is appropriately hidden as a tertiary color, adding a nice accent to the purple and yellow combo that really pops. Meanwhile, that same iconic Utah Jazz logo stands with minimal alteration, marking a quality decision to not fix something that wasn’t broken.
[/QUOTE]
hardly one of the best ever. Purple? :facepalm

[QUOTE]This group includes: Isaiah Hartenstein (LA Clippers), Wayne Selden (New York Knicks), Dennis Smith Jr. (Portland Trail Blazers), Matt Thomas (Chicago Bulls), Brad Wanamaker (Indiana Pacers). Armoni Brooks could be included in this grouping as well, but his situation was somewhat unique given his re-signed status and conversion process as a former Two-Way player.
[/QUOTE]
and the Jazz got a lot of flack for Thomas. The wasted roster spot last year was Hughes though he does look better now. He should have been on the two way not Their all gleaguer

He could be a fit

[QUOTE]One major advantage that Butler gives the Utah Jazz is his ability to play both on and off the ball. Snyder is most likely to feature him primarily in the latter role in the regular season. As a reserve, he’s likely to share the floor with Jordan Clarkson, a much more effective on-ball player, for the bulk of his minutes. Furthermore, he’ll see ample time with Joe Ingles, a high-level, veteran playmaker.
[/QUOTE]
effective and Clarkson don' really go together
[QUOTE]With such tremendous depth, Snyder is unlikely to lean on Butler as a primary playmaker outside of garbage time. Still, that doesn’t mean Butler can’t see 15 to 20 minutes of floor time on a regular basis.
[/QUOTE]
that's why they need a new coach. I'd rather he had the ball than Mitchell or Clarkson
[QUOTE]Eric Paschall seems likely to receive playing time against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Gay’s absence. The more interesting question is whether his minutes primarily come at the 4 or 5 spot.
[/QUOTE]
actually looks like Butler might get those minutes
[QUOTE]Whatever Snyder chooses, it may be indicative of his philosophical preference on the matter of small-ball, offering a preview of what Utah Jazz fans can expect moving forward.
[/QUOTE]
don't expect anything different

[QUOTE]I still don’t love how this team stacks up against the Los Angeles Lakers, especially if they’re fully healthy, but there’s no question this team has the ability to make a Western Conference Finals run at the very least.

When asked on Tuesday about Giddey, Ingles hilariously stopped the reporter.

[QUOTE]Though Donovan Mitchell is the Jazz most decorated player, after the last two postseasons, it’s hard to make a convincing argument he’s anything but the team’s most valuable.
[/QUOTE]
more decorated than DPOTY/All NBA/All D? They are a lottery team without Gobert. With him they win games :facepalm
[QUOTE]After leading the league in scoring during the Jazz first-round exit against Denver Nuggets at 36.3 points per game, Mithell was arguably more impressive during the Jazz Western Conference Semifinals run last season.
[/QUOTE]
too bad there are two ends of the court and 9 other players out there
[QUOTE]“It’s easy to look at the stats and ask ‘What else can I do?'” Mitchell said. “There’s a lot more I can do, they won. That’s the biggest thing.”
[/QUOTE]
exactly
[QUOTE]Despite Mitchell’s superstar level performance, it was clear his ankle was continuing to worsen throughout the postseason, even with his brilliant 39 point, nine rebound, nine assist performances in the team’s series-clinching loss to the Clippers.
[/QUOTE]
maybe listen to the doctors instead of your posse next time?
[QUOTE]Mitchell also led the Jazz to the best record in the NBA for the first time in franchise history. With a strong supporting cast around him and the guard only now entering his prime, Mitchell is in a prime spot to prove that not only is he one of the NBA’s best offensive talents, but a player who can push his team into contention for a championship ring.
[/QUOTE]
nice of him to lead them despite missing many games and not playing defense or passing to his open teammates!
