Not saying the Jazz are going to be good, but it's one preseason game. One preseason game.
Exactly. I see this year as the year that we set ourselves up for the long term future. Get the young guys chemistry down, let them develop. Snag 1-2 lottery picks (preferably a SF and PG) and trade 1-2 of the veterans. I want to see the Jazz do well this year but I am not counting on it.

A poster using logic on jazzfanz?? I must be seeing things.

The only Jazzman with positive numbers in the box score was Jeremy Evans with plus 3.
I'm not cautious because of this game, at all. I'm cautious to have a lot of hope for this season because of a new coach, new players, new systems, and some questionable floor positions. That's not being negative, at all. I actually find it kind of exciting to watch it evolve (hopefully), win or lose (this year).

That Portland team has played together alot longer than our guys. It showed. Not to mention they were playing at home and had more energy.
Jazz should play with more energy at home tomorrow and they need to win that game. But they still aren't a playoff team and we all knew that before last night.

They'll play better. But there was so little continuity on both offense and defense that I'm worried. Hopefully they show up a lot better than last night or it could be a long year.
I'm with Archie on both points. Because there are only 2 preseason games they can't play everyone. In the past they played guys they knew would not make the team to help them out, they don't have that luxury this year. Corbin was more trying to see what guys can do on the floor, more than trying to win a preseason game. I really hope he takes what he learned and goes with it. He also has to take much of it with a grain of salt as it is one game and doesn't tell us as much as many of the posters here seem to think it tells.
I do want Favors and Hayward to start, and I want to see good minutes from Burks, Kanter, and Evans.
I want less minutes for Jefferson, few minutes for Okur until he can show he can rotate on defense and hit shots, few minutes for Howard until he can hit shots in the flow, and few minutes for CJ and Bell just on the history of last year(I don't care if they seem better right now).
The point should be 65% Harris, 30% Watson, 5% Burks.
Oh, one more thing, Hayward needs to stop driving baseline when doubled, then jumping and hoping he can get a pass to some player. I see that in church ball and should never see that in the NBA. At least do the Nash and keep the dribble alive and come back out the other side, if you don't see an open teammate.

My biggest concern watching the game last night was Devin Harris. If he can't penetrate, keep turn overs to a minimum, we are gong to be horrendous. I was hoping he would be a steadying influence on the younger players, instead he looked like he couldn't get into the key, and was a turn over machine.

Lottery here we come. Hopefully we can trade Jefferson for some picks before the rest of the world realizes that he sucks.
