Jazz defense is 12.9 points per 100 better when Gobert is on the floor, and holds his opponent under 39% shooting at the rim.
Not a huge sample size and not completely fair but he is statistically probably the best defender in the NBA right now. Thanks to the Nuggets for trading him for cash.

There were quite a few gems taken late in the 2013 draft.
Uuuuh. Um. Well.
Blast from the past... Blackace, thoughts?

The Scottie Pippen trade to Seattle may not be dead-in part because Michael Jordan told SuperSonics coach George Karl that Seattle would be the major beneficiary of the deal.
And that could help alter public sentiment in Seattle, where fans apparently had swayed Sonics owner Barry Ackerly to reject the trade.
Sources close to Karl said the Seattle coach, who was a player at North Carolina and a frequent golfing partner of Jordan, spent much of the last several days consulting with friends and associates about the deal and that Jordan told him, "You'll be getting the best of it." He said he thought the deal would assure Seattle a championship next season.
But the widely reported trade-Pippen for Shawn Kemp and Ricky Pierce and a swap of draft picks-would have to be seriously changed to make it work, for salary-cap reasons.

The only thing more beautiful than Milsap outplaying Favors is Kanter becoming dispensable.
I can't wait for the Jazz to jetison Burke, hand the keys over to Exum, and then 2 years later draft and trade for his replacement.
Truly perfected the art of treadmill management.
Right, you would have kept Deron and re-signed Millsap right? Yeah there's no way thats a perennial 8th seed team. I don't think you know what a "treadmill team" is.
Oh and Favors has a higher PER than Millsap, plays better defense, and is 6 years younger. Paul is great but we needed to be bad for a few years while giving guys a chance to see how good they are, and Favors has done just that.
If you are going to knock Jazz personel decisions, knock the ones where we find steals like Wes Matthews and Demarre Carrol and don't want to pay them.

Don't know who Scott was but i watched his ESPYs speech and he seemed like a swell guy. RIP.

By KingGondoDamn, Hawks are in first?
that's what you get for trading Thabo, look where you guys are now.
I hate the Warriors having the whole weekend off. Still...OKC with Durant tomorrow. Should be an amazing game.
Noooooooooooo
Why did we have to beat the Heat last night!?
"HOUSTON (AP) -- The Houston Rockets were so bad on Friday night that coach Kevin McHale talked about retiring.
A day later, McHale felt much better."

Woah, the Heat are down to being the 5th worst team in the NBA statistically (SRS) now.
I knew LeBron was amazing, but this team was pretty good last year (like 7th best in the league) and they're nothing now.

They also lost their 3 best 3 point shooters...they're near the bottom of tr league in 3 point makes if I'm not mistaken.
Whelp Kyrie has a hurt back. Won't be making the trip to philly. Our back court will be delly and AJ Price..... This season has not been the best..

Kevin Love is having bad flashbacks to running with Michael Beasley and Wesley Johnson. He's back in Saigon.

Shame Westbrook is calming down as well.
By rodeoclownKevin Love is having bad flashbacks to running with Michael Beasley and Wesley Johnson. He's back in Saigon.Be careful what you wish for sometimes. Only one that really made out this off season seems to be Pau Gasol. Lance is struggling with Charlotte, right? There's Love, Melo with his terribad Knicks. Who else am I missing?
The Miami and the Brooklyn offenses are doo doo. Utter trash.
JJ just standing around in the corner possession after possession. God I hate these new offenses. Especially when they're ugly like this.

By IWMTB19Delon Wright and Jakob dominated Brandy's shitty college team today, it was cool.Kyle Collinsworth is a better NBA prospect than Wright.
come at me bro
By psychintellect7 point, 6 boards, 2 blocks in 9 minutes for WhitesideAt least now I know who Whiteside is so I don't call out the Heat announcers for "calling the Heat whiteside" because of their jerseys.
Hes pretty much Anthony Davis.
By IWMTB19The Kings have become the worst defensive team in the league with Ty Corbin as coach :(I can't wait until the NOP start a bidding war for him at the end of the season.
With themselves.
