"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[MartyFunkhouser]

The Bulls are to Sloan as Kentucky is to? Let's see if you SAT skills are still sharp.

Your beard and suits suck.

Ross Siler has some interesting/funny tweets:

Deron's gone. There's a zero percent chance he stays in Utah if his legacy is Jerry's departure.

Any word on whether they lowered the flag to half staff at John Deere headquarters?

Considering Ostertag once threw a bag of ice at Sloan's head in locker room, reported clashes with Williams must have been really bad.

The fact Phil resigned with Jerry rather than helping Ty see through the season suggests there was a lot of displeasure behind the scenes.

Locke interviewed deron this afternoon. Asked him pointblank about whether he gave the franchise an ultimatum and of course said no. Best part of the interview was when Deron sarcastically commented on Bucher and other national writers being in the lockerrom each night. Also said that is why he is the way he is with the media and will never change.

I really doubt that Sloan's departure had anything to do with Williams. I can't see any player - not even Kobe - wanting to be known as the guy who ran off a Hall of Fame coach.

Sloan left on his terms. I'm just surprised that it was in the middle of the season, as I would have expected him to have at least stayed until his contract expired.

Utes!

Congratulations, you've been accepted to the duke of the west!

Does DW think that sports writers will not be in the locker room when he plays somewhere else in a couple years? If he thinks the media coverage is bad in SLC, he should love getting to a bigger city.

I didn't hear the interview, but my guess would be that he was being sarcastic because the national writers are almost never in any locker rooms yet act like they always know what is going on.

Yes and he gave a nice bullshit chuckle to go along with it. David Pavlov followed suit. Mentioned that everytime Bucher is in town he comes and sits next to him like they're buddies but writes whatever sells. Mentioned Brussard by name as well.

Do you really think that even 3 years from now when Deron is in LA or Dallas that he or anyone else will care at all?

That's my dawg.

Anybody that matters will care.

Jazz fans surely will but ultimately, do we really matter?

The greatness of this thread continues.

No, we don't matter. But God does.

interesting quote from adande:

One Jazz source told me, "Ninety-nine percent of the team loves Sloan. He didn't lose the team."

But that 1 percent won out.

Do they Jazz go Cleveland and just let DW start making the personel decisions next summer?
