My dad used to work with Ted Bundy at the University of Utah and every Friday my dad would say, “See ya Monday-Bundy” and I can’t imagine how much Ted actually thought about murdering him for it.

Donovan Mitchell said after the game he pulled Walker Kessler aside to tell him to stop calling out which type of defense he was going to play. Kessler kept calling out his own strategy whether he was going to drop or not, and it allowed Donovan to know how to attack him.

Nobody needs to be hammering Rudy Gobert right now. He’s extraordinarily thoughtful and caring and I believe that’s where the microphone touching comes from. It was a sign of unity and not disrespect. He’s a very kind person and everyone should be wishing for his wellbeing.

So Gordon Hayward's career in Boston likely ends having made less money than he would have in Utah, no championships, no All-Star games, and the third or fourth option on most of those teams. The grass is not always greener unfortunately. Ended up as a lose lose deal.

The Jazz traded for a 20 ppg scorer & a career 37% three point shooter, with nearly perfect “Jazz DNA.” He’s teaming with the best young player the team has had in 30 years, and the reigning DPOY entering his prime. Potentially one of the most important days in team history.
