Jazz fans that were calling for a youth movement last year have nothing to complain about however. This is exactly what they wanted. Grab your pint of Chubby Hubby and cry a little into your proper drink. Think about the #driveforfive. The Jazz should be able to get one of the stars from college unless the basketball gods frown upon the front office for ridiculous moves and signings.
The entire Atlantic Division is under .500 on the season. Wouldn’t it be something if they could all garner the top 5 picks or even 5 out of 10. Unfortunately, they are going to have to put some team into the playoffs. Yeah, no one wants to be that general manager, except maybe Billy King. In fact, Brooklyn and New York aren’t making much of the right kind of noise now that the season has started.
Brooklyn has been beset with injuries of the sprained ankle variety. New York is still working with the shadow of Amare Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler was a big defensive loss.
Jeff Green did a disappearing act against Minnesota with just 2 points in about 30 minutes. Boston didn’t stand much of chance with Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio playing the way they have been. Kevin Martin and Nikola Pekovic were instrumental in the win. Boston has 7 losses.
Cleveland beat Washington in overtime giving the Wizards 7 losses, which matches the number of losses that Cleveland currently has. Milwaukee lost to OKC, giving them 7 losses as well.
The Lakers also have 7 losses. There are rumblings in La-La land that Kobe is practicing with the team. Which Kobe will show up and in what time frame? No one has the answers, but hopefully, his team is showing him what happened in 1997 for the Spurs.
