"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

I could understand them showing that wicked dunk he had down the middle of the lane where Rudy moved out of the way to avoid a foul call. But focusing on one where he missed the shot?

I'd also expect to see the sweet highlight dunk from Donovan, even though he had an otherwise pedestrian scoring night.

Agreed on both counts.

Also, I saw another post of the same crossover (Gobert lost his footing and hit the deck) but with the missed shot cropped out.

NBA “journalism” is lame. Sportscenter’s IG account posted a clip of LeBron crossing over Gobert and then missing the shot while neglecting to mention that the Lakers were down by 20 and ultimately got crushed. But cool that LeBron took a shot.

So basically Rudy 1, Lebron 0. That's all that clip says to me.

After a complete demolition of the mighty (somewhat short-handed) Lakers it's awesome to note that not one Jazz player got to 20 points. Funny how AD being out is the biggest excuse in the world for them going on a four-game slide, but when Donovan or Mike Conley are out we continue to blow teams out.

Rudy is such a defensive savant he knew that pretending to hit the deck would make LeBron lose his focus and miss the shot.

Lebron faked him out to step back and take the lower percentage shot because Rudy was guarding the baseline. Wow what a savvy vet move of Lebron to step back and brick it like that.

Vernon Maxwell apparently does not like the Utah Jazz franchise or the State of Utah at all.

I guess when you have herpes a state of virgins and monogamous dual-parent families can really piss you off.

It is time for the Jazz to sign an enforcer. Basically, Jazz need to find a worthless player with no skill to sit at the end of the bench whose only role is to go in and fucking punch or throw an elbow in the face of a player like Embiid or Simmons.

It reminds of the Blackhawks when the had incredible skill and were making the game better, but have pieces of shit like Raffi Torres headhunting. As much as the Blackhawks wanted to just rely on skill, they had to go out and sign a worthless player to protect the skill played because the league wouldn't. I'm still convinced that the Blackhawks win the cup in 2012 if Torres didn't knock out Hossa.

I'll be incredibly disappointed is someone doesn't go after Embiid and Simmons in the next time the Jazz play the Sixers. The league won't address the problem, so the Jazz need to.

I fully endorse this post. They can punch Lebron in the grill and kick KD in the balls while they're at it. Does Rafa still play ball?

Dono with a sprained ankle. Hope it’s not too serious.

Great second wind by the guys today. Good to see Bojan post dudes up- he's also adopted the Joe Ingles Slo-Mo-No-Look-Lay-In. I was most excited to see Rudy go beast mode on Sabonis. Blocked him and Brogan multiple times. Nobody's touching him for DPOY this year.

You just summoned Ben Simmons. He will be posting soon about how he is the DPOY.
