Jazz are #1 in the nba

In games missed to injury.

Heard that on the radio yesterday. So sick of it.

Sadly, I've set my expectations low. At this point, I expect to finish the season in the top-5 in that category.

I guess the good news is that we have had one of the most difficult schedules to start the season and we are 7 - 5. It's not amazing, but it has been pretty solid in spite of the injuries. I will agree that the injuries are getting very old... Last season we were in the top third on games lost to injuries, but based on the top 7 players who lost minutes, I think we were 2nd or 3rd in the league.

 

[Jeditiger]

Injury fatigue is wearing on all of us, and I'm sure the players and coaches as well. It's frustrating because we could be a top 4 team in the West if healthy. Right now Favors is my biggest concern. Our D suffers mightily when he doesn't play.

So disappointing with all the length on the Jazz team they are dead last in the NBA in rebounding ....their has to be a balance between not just getting back on defense and going after offensive rebounds ,with their length they should pursue more offensive rebounds

In regards to Favors and Burks, I'm hopeful that at some point their injury issues will go away. I still remember the injury issues Curry had. Seemed he was injured every year for stretches, and now that seems to be a distant memory.

HGH is a helluva drug.

We should be 9-3(Hornets, Grizzlies) but I will take 7-5 for sure. Wish we would be healthy for a season.

All things considered this season I think we are the best team in the NW. I thought Portland would be slightly better than us but I haven't seen it this season. They rely so much on Dame and McCollum.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Why do people think we should have won the Hornets game? I dont get the people who act like we threw that game away.

Outside of Gobert and Favors we don't have rebounders. Bolomboy needs minutes -- it's his elite skill.

I heard Locke speculate recently that Snyder has de-emphasized OREBs in favor of getting back on defense. Popovich does this as well.

Bolomboy needs to be with the Stars, IMO. He's too raw to get meaningful minutes right now, especially with the emphasis more on winning games now than giving rookies developmental minutes.

At some point, it stops being coincidental.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

We had to be close to the top last year... we got an EFFING dynasty going guys.


Seriously though... I'm not a doctor or trainer but at some point the proof is in the pudding. They can't help when guys blow up their knees but the botched Burks stuff... and then the favors stuff. I'd love to see what the actual issue is with favors so that I could judge fairly but from what I can see I'm less than impressed.

Whatever the Phoenix guys get per year double it and bring them over.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Favors out for the bulls game... I'm going to assume he's out a year or two... will help me cope with the injuries.

And Hill is Questionable, partial participant in practice today. Hood should be good to go, practiced fully today.

Jazz started practice at 10 AM and as of 12:45 they were still going at it.
