I'm probably dating myself but TNT has never been the same since Shaq joined, and not in a good way.
And he's just ruining the show these days.
Dude is incapable of not living in his sensitive ego 24/7
Basically that they have no identity and shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as other top teams in the league.
During the game Reggie has his west tier list.
S tier
Lakers Clippers
A tier
Jazz
Nuggets
The rest tier
Everyone else
What does that even mean? The have a perennial DPOY candidate and an explosive scoring guard flanked by multiple 40% three point shooters.
They just be running out of things to talk about on TNT these days
They were saying that they rely too much on Mitchell's scoring and that if he has an off-night, they have no other answers. I think that's a bit off-base, but this is probably their first time watching the Jazz this season, and it's totally fair to suggest that they have more to prove than the Lakers or the Clippers in terms of being a contender.
The argument that Mitchell needs to put up more rebounds and assists is stupid though. Utah has been the best rebounding team in the NBA for most of this season. It doesn't help the team if he suddenly starts diving to the basket after every shot. As for the assists, he's having a career year, but it's hard to consistently put up high assist totals in Quin Snyder's system. Look at Rubio's assist numbers for example: 9.1 APG the season before coming to the Jazz, then 5.3 and 6.1 with the Jazz, and 8.8 APG the season after signing with another team. The team wants the ball moving all over the perimeter and going up at the first open look, not in the hands of a single player consistently initiating the offense.
Shaq's commentary on Gobert just isn't funny and he just needs to stop.
Yea they don't have a superstar I think is the main concern with the team making a deep playoff run, but Mitchell is capable of hitting another gear in the playoffs and with all those three point shooters they could do some damage.
The Jazz have 248 3's so far this season, the most in the first 15 games of a season in NBA history
I refuse to believe that, were all the starters out due to covid? lol
I'm going to throw a curveball and say Lonzo, he'll be the first 5th year player to play in the nba's rising stars game during all star weekend.*
*2022 season
nope, our defense was godawful. jamal was out the second game though
He ruined it from the moment he joined the cast. He took something I use to love to watch and I haven't watched since. He's an inarticulate, not entertaining, over sensitive baby and not a very good human being to boot.
