NBA Podcast: What's going on in LA right now, how will the Utah Jazz meet expectations?

Another hour long show of sports talk (for free!), a general NBA segment and a Utah Jazz segment as well. Check it out!

Segment 1 (0:00 - 15:38)

• Podcast #ProTip question 1 -- Don't take it personally
  
• Los Angeles Lakers hire Byron Scott, improvement over Mike D'Antoni?
  
• LA is the Wizard of Oz
• Kobe Bryant and Carlos Boozer don't play any defense, so have fun with that
• Doc Rivers and Chris Paul will not do anything but make a token stand against whomever is the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers
• Elgin Baylor knows all about Donald Sterling, so this isn't a surprise
• The "Flop City" Clippers would not have fared well in the 80s and 90s

Segment 2 (38:50 - 55:00)

• Podcast #ProTip question 2 -- Sometimes it's okay to delete things
• Utah Jazz talk! !!!! !!! 111 !!
• What is an acceptable 2014-15 win / loss record for the Jazz
• Poorly explaining that standard deviation thing of rookie coach win expectations
• What matters more is the direction of the franchise, not so much the actual quality of the rookie head coach
• Jason Kidd 's situation isn't the same as Quin Snyder 's.
• Dante Exum is the point guard of the future? Is Trey Burke the back up? Will this ever be resolved in the off-season? Probably not.
• The Phoenix Suns were amazing, but that type of jump is reasonable, and yes, Jeff Hornacek was a rookie head coach
• When do we get to see Derrick Favors go out there and bust people up? (Enes Kanter too!)
• How does Gordon Hayward play after getting paid?
• Hopefully like Bruce Lee, and react to the defense . . . that whole "Be like Water" thing? Maybe?
  
• Alec Burks is a legit MIP candidate

Thanks again Phil for having me on as a guest and for answering my questions. And really, this is the only national / international show that wants to talk about the Jazz every week. I appreciate being able to do that.
