Not going to happen.

Ever.

****ing Exum.

What a ****ing train wreck of a pick that was.

I think it's awesome that the Jazz took an 18 year old Australian that nobody has seen play except on a 13 second YouTube video against other Australian high schoolers.

And the ****ing guy couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

What a bunch of douche nozzles running that team.

They did get lucky with Rod Hood though, even though he's the exact same goddamn guy they draft every goddamn year who ends up being a pile of monkey shit.

Some hot basketball takes in here with the Noah is overrated bullshit.

If you think Joakim Noah is overrated, then you're ****ing clueless.

Dejuan Blair is an energy guy and a damned good one. That's what you pay guys like him for. If they play 28 minutes, they get exposed, but if they can come in, bang bodies, do dirty work, and score on some putbacks and save a few loose balls, they've done their job and it's an important one.

Haven't read those saying he is overrated in this tread but the top 5 MVP/player momentum in the latter part of the season was getting a bit much. Though not entirely unwarranted.

He's a career sub-60% shooter from 3 feet or less. Absolutely pathetic.

Rudy tossed tigger's salad 07-16-2014 09:52 PM

Also takes too many inefficient 2-point jump shots. If he was Bosh or Garnett...ok... but he is well under 40%

Rudy tossed tigger's salad 07-16-2014 10:09 PM

Tied for 186th in true shooting percentage

Rudy tossed tigger's salad 07-16-2014 10:14 PM

He's basically a slightly better, but much uglier DeAndre Jordan.

Not a good comparison at all. Noah is an elite passer and ball handler as a big man. He's also an outstanding defender beyond just blocked shots. Doc Rivers would trade Jordan for Noah in a heartbeat.

I mean in terms of value as a player. They have different skillsets for sure. Noah is better, but his inefficient volume shooting really brings his offensive game down.

He wouldn't shoot as much (or as inefficiently) if he wasn't on a team with no other consistent scoring threats. Assuming Rose is back healthy and sucking up 15-20 shots per night, I'd bet that Noah becomes more efficient.

That's a fair point. That offense was terrible.

The Bad Guy 07-16-2014 11:09 PM

Noah took a team with Kirk Hinrich, Mike Dunleavy, Jimmy Butler and Carlos Boozer to the playoffs.

I could give a dick about his inefficient shooting. He was basically a constant triple double threat all of late February and March.

He's a million times better than Jordan.

kcxiv 07-16-2014 11:14 PM

i'd love Noah on the Lakers, kids an Anchor. He gives it his all. He doesnt have to score, he's not a good offensive player, but does everything else really good.
