Jazz tried to get the ball to Vando more times in this preseason game than they did Gobert in any random 3 game stretch last year.

That’s on Snyder. He gave our guards an endless leash. He let them put forth zero effort on defense and let them play lazy stupid basketball by just chucking up quick 3s. We had the best lob threat in the league last year and Clarkson would consistently get more shot attempts in two mins than for the entire game for Rudy. Stupid
 
This team isn't great, but there's something refreshing about watching these games and not being irritated about the lack of chemistry on the court. I'm enjoying this group in the preseason. We'll see how I feel in January though.

True.

But let’s be honest, that team last year had bad chemistry from day 1. All it needed was Deron throwing a ball at Gordon’s head. They never looked like they wanted to be together last year. Should’ve blown it up earlier. We could all see that last year’s team was heading no where fast, especially after Jingles went down. The window closed when we blew it against the Clippers. Last year was a wasted year.

Also, I’m not a fan of our cold soulless court or jerseys.

Lauri has been the biggest surprise this far. I think he could flirt with averaging 20/10 this year if he was given the minutes to do so.

I think that FIBA tournament flipped a switch in him. It was the first time he played that dominant and decisive. Whatever we have to do to nurture that in him should probably be our top priority the next couple of months. Feature him like an all star.

It's refreshing now. It will probably start getting old by game 20.

Those first 20 games would have been an unsufferable slog even with happy Rudy, Don, and Joe. That schedule is just ugly. We are going to lose a lot of games by 20 or more.
