All his problems seem to be joint strength related, dude had a super late growth spurt that took him from 6'2 to 6'10 in a couple years, Embiid is another dude that went from 6'8 to 7'2" in a couple years time too. Maybe growing that rapidly puts a strain on their bodies and makes them more prone to breaking down.

I thought about that too. But then I thought about guys like Mike, Barkley, Bron that had growth spurts (albeit not as big a jump as Davis) and managed to be pretty durable. Maybe it's a combo of the spurt and the actual height. You are good as long as you stay under 6'9 but once you approach 7 feet it becomes a problem? :yeshrug:.

Not watching the game or anything but Jokic might be poised to have a breakout season. He's huge, has soft touch at the rim and they give him the ball. I'm thinking he's going 15 and 10 this year

shyt I just said the same think in the season thread. I really don't think he fits this team at all going forward unless he embraces being a role player that gets hustle points and boards.
Hell all he really needs is to get better at his ball movement. I like what I've seen overall from the team so far.

I expect Rudy Gobert to make a decent run at a spot on this year's Western Conference all-star team.

Man, the Jazz get the best "home cooking" calls in the league.Hate having to watch my team play in Utah.

I swear somebody in the NBA's front office is a Mormon.

The refs always give them preferential treatment.

Is the league pass working for ps4? Mine was updated but it isn't showing any games

yes its working its just alot of preseason games arent being broadcasted. if you jump ahead to the regular season you can see a ton more games have the league pass option.
