Tough tough matchup for us. Markkanen and Love's outside shooting would be tough for our perimeter guys to handle. If they draw Rudy out of the paint, then there's no stopping Jarrett Allen.

If Jarrett Allen is on the floor, the Cavs won't draw Rudy out of the paint. If they play Mobley or Love at the 5 though, that could become an issue.
 
If we win, I believe it will likely because of one of two reasons:

1. Our shots are falling.
2. Cleveland can’t preform.

This is exactly the kind of game where we try to skate by. We look at what we see as an inferior opponent and then we have an early start. If the shots aren’t falling, I’m not confident that we’ll bring enough extra juice to be able to win. We’ll attempt to turn that on when they realize they could lose the game, and it’s likely too late by that point. We won’t be winning because of rebounds, or deflections, or defense. I’d like to be wrong but I think we’ll have to settle for one of the above two reasons if we want a W.
 
Could the Jazz sign a GLeague center on a two way contract? Does that work the same way as NFL practice squads or does the team that signed him retain his rights until next summer?
