Comment on Jazz Self Destructing by Sika

The Zone freezes our teams for sure. We have no outside threat so there’s no reason to clear out the paint….

Zone defenses and the lack of any type of outside threat is what kills the Jazz at the end of close games. The Jazz don’t have a go to guy they can rely on to create his own shot at the end of the game. Millsap is the closest thing, but they double him immediately and the other teams no that no one on the Jazz can hit an outside jumper with consistency. The Jazz schedule over February and March is brutal. Finish March 8 games below .500.

Comment on I Don’t See Eli in the Word Elite by Zack

Better statistically in win percentage or passing numbers? I agree, Big Ben is a good playoff and overall QB, and I would take him any day over Eli for my team in the playoffs, but he’s historically had an amazing defense behind him which has helped him win championships – as do most Super Bowl winners. If I had to choose Ben or Brady, I’m taking Brady. I agree with you though – he’s better than a role player – that was mostly a jab at my buddy who hates Big Ben!

Big Ben is much more than a “role player.” He’s a franchise QB with comparable numbers to Brady. Before this year, He actually was better than Brady was statistically in the playoffs.

great post! Disagree with the order, but a good list. have to place Nash higher, because he is so fun to watch. I wild rather see the Lakers than the almost winless Wizards. I too place a premium on Pt Guard play because it drives all of these great offensive teams.

Spain and Argentina. Luckily for the US, Coach K from Duke is back, which means the players respect their coach. That’s been the biggest struggle in past years, is getting the players and coaches to be friends
