IT'S ON: Utah Jazz v. OKC Thunder -- Game 1

The main takeaway for me is that the floor was spaced tonight. The Jazz were driving right down the center of the lane off Rudy picks. First it was Bogdanovic, then Mitchell, then Mudiay, even Royce. The driving lanes were open. Can't wait to see if Exum can play and take advantage too.

when’s he expected to be back and play?

He was doing 2 on 2's a couple of weeks ago, can't be more than a couple weeks at most, no? I think it is more a conditioning thing rather than injury. With the way the other backup pg played, he better think about taking some chances though.
 
I hope Conley got the worst game of the season out of his system.

Otherwise damn Mitchell was ****ing great tonight. A true Superstar effort.
 
So we discover our star player is only 6'1". Has there ever been a player that size that can take over a game (both ends) like Mitchell? What heart? Conley was a deer in the headlights (gotta be hard playing for a new team with all the hoopla after all these years) and D.M. had to somehow make up for it and carry the load down the stretch. Reminds me of an aphorism my High School Coach had hanging in the locker room: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight but rather the size of the fight in the dog."

PS I expect Conley to snap out of it and be the guy we went all in to get.
