Returning to this point I made after the game and before the tracking stats were available as promised.

Check out this stat from the Blazers game.

What's the typical conversion of potential assists? 7/16 (44%) doesn't seem horrible to me.

Did those highlights miss the charge he took?

When is Cy going to make a thread hyping the potential assists for our star rookie?

The in season tournament title is the only thing that matters in life right now. If we win we will be the only team to have one. I can't wait to go back to my Nuggets fans and throw that one in their face.

Better yet, if we win thus tournament there will never be another one. Scoreboard for all time!

It is well below average. We shot bad (42/30) as a team and that reflects in those numbers.

Last year's APG leaders including their potential assists per game (just ignore Skylar Mays lol):

I'm actually seeing the appeal of the in-season tournament with this Jazz team. Might not be good, but 2-0 in the tourney, now the Friday game is one of the biggest of the season.

The team obviously isn't a serious contender, maybe not even for the playoffs. But if they made it to Vegas? That'd be fun as hell and the highlight of the season.

I think they did it well... I think the Vegas games will be fun and they did it in the part of the season I think needs it... the old no one pays attention until Christmas part of the season.

There is no way in Hell the Jazz will be allowed to make the actual tournament.

Just have to make shots. Its a make or miss league. Nothing anyone can do to stop us from making the tourney if we make our shots.

Look fan how you want but if that’s the only thing that will bring you joy I’d go ahead and quit now. Literally touch grass cuz this won’t likely be a fun existence. The guys at the top of the draft aren’t going to propel us to being elite. It’s way too early to worry about tank position… take the wins here and there… especially if they are fun. A title would be nice but may never happen… enjoy the ride.

Yeah, just give me a competent team who can make the playoffs every year and has at least a small chance at making the finals and some wiggle room to make changes/improvements so I can armchair GM in the off-season, I will be happy

The Vegas games and having the same teams at each other twice in a row for these initial games. Will go a long way towards building rivalries and more emotion in the regular season

I feel bad for you then.

Bruh that's umm, idiotic.

Well I was once where you’re at. From my child hood to now the jazz have for better or worse been about the same with different degrees. A good to very good team with no way to get just a little better and get over the hump. I’ve even argued on here with a lot of you on the merits of winning as many games possible during the core 4 era of Jazzfanz. But enough’s enough. If this goes another 36 years as I’ve endured, you’ll all change your tune as well. I just want to see the team I love win it all, just once and I’m tired of this never ending loop of futility. WHEN DOES IT END!!!!?

During the playoffs the last 5 years has it seemed even remotely possible to win a title? There’s no arguement for what we’ve seen in the playoffs.
