Utah Jazz Slander: Real or Imagined?

Maybe the other players just don't these two guys and their whining?

He has Giannis and Jokic on his team already. To me Sabonis makes more sense for what the team could use than Gobert, especially with how basketball is played today.

How valuable is a defensive center in a game played without defense, lol?

 

[shopson67]

To win in the regular season Gobert is an easy call over Sabonis, but in an All-Star Game? Gobert will always be the worst option in that format.

Mitchell going that late is strange, he is an ideal fit for the all-star game, on account of him dribbling at halfcourt for 18 seconds and then driving into 4 defenders and throwing up a bad shot.

Defenders? In an all-star game?

There's a good chance that they'll all make it out of the first round and then you're down to 8 teams.

Jazz have the best chance to win the title, but don't sleep on the Nuggets. They really matured last year. They had a slow start this season, but they are rising. They'll surely catch the Blazers, and they should catch the Lakers if AD remains out. With a net rating of +5.4, the Nuggets are truly one of the best teams in the NBA.

The Celtics have been disappointing. They looked much better when I made that bet.

I'm sure the Lakers are scared of the Nuggets after last year.

The lack of defense is why Mitchells game translates, his late clock drive in the paint results in an open shot.

You noted that he jumps into defenders, which would be awkward in an all-star game, that's all. It could involve jumping backwards or into the bench, lol.
