"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

Just looking at nbadraft.net's top 6 picks right now.

1. Derrick Williams
2. Kyrie Irving
3. Jan Vesely
4. Enes Kanter
5. Alec Burks
6. Perry Jones

Yikes.

What are they thinking on Burks? He's a skinny Kirk Snyder minus the crazy but still without a jumper. (Disclaimer: I haven't watched a single game that Burks has played in, but #5 seems way too high based on what other sites say about him)

No Sullinger or Barnes really changes things. Perry Jones has got to be loving it though. He can look like an idiot in interviews, can sleep his way through his workouts, and he'll still go Top 5 in this draft.

No Barnes? Is this for sure?

[MarkGrace]

I'm really trying to withhold judgment on Ty Corbin because he's been placed in unreasonable circumstances, it's hard to judge, etc. But I really hate this. It's just plain stupid unless Favors is out.

Well, it's what Jerry would have done, too.

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

No Barnes? Is this for sure?

No. No news out of Chapel Hill since Barnes met with Roy Williams.

I'm wondering if Barnes wants to know what Zeller and Henson are going to do. I think Henson is in this draft for sure, but I don't know about Zeller. If Barnes comes back it is to win a title. He'd be much more confident about getting that done if one or both of those players are back, along with the team adding James McAdoo and PJ Hairston this upcoming season.

Woah, maybe not. When I saw Fess was starting, I figured one of Millsap/Jefferson couldn't go tonight. But nope, Sap's getting moved over to the 3 in the absence of AK. Weird.

In that case, can someone please hurry and tell Chad Ford to move Zeller a few spots higher on his big board to get some buzz going for Zeller?

I had heard about that and I like the idea. Still dumb not to start Favors though. Then again. favors would just get 2 quick fouls against the laker bigs. So let Fess get the 2 quick fouls and in comes Favors after 4 minutes.

More on Millsap. He'll be matched up against Artest, which is a perfectly good matchup. This should be interesting. Millsap can guard Artest just fine since he's not fast and can't jump. And Artest will have no advantage guarding Millsap.

I was just thinking last night that Artest is the proto-type for Sap if he's going to play the 3. Learn to use your body and strength on D to stop penetration. Can't rely on quickness.

There was some talk about Sap playing the 3 next season in the paper the other day. If he's going to try and pull this off, dude needs to get leaner.

"UNC's Harrison Barnes continues to be on the fence however. He recently had his exit interview with head coach Roy Williams. In the interview Williams told Barnes that he would go somewhere between No. 5 and 11 in the draft, according to a source familiar with the discussion. I think Barnes will go higher -- likely in the Top 3. The bigger question will be whether Barnes wants to return to a loaded UNC team next year to try to win a championship" - ESPN.com

Williams trying to deceive Barnes to get him back.

[Surfah]

Love the number of Lakers fans there.

Roy didn't get where he is by playing soft. I really hope Barnes pulls a Hansbrough and leads us to glory next season.

[CardiacCoug]

These Dodge Durango ads they keep showing are narrated by Michael C. Hall (Dexter) I believe.

No way the Jazz win this.

[Maximus]

Wow the refs are horrible. EVery time. BS goaltend.

[LiveCoug]

LOL.. This game... Jazz up 18 and are going to end up losing by 15+

Poor Ty Corbin. I feel really bad for him.
