I kind of like Foye, I just hope he doesn't close games for us.

Why no Kevin Murphy tonight?

Subbing the second unit earlier would have won the game for us, so there's that I guess. The team played hard.

It was not a good idea to give the final ball to the player who is most known and probably easily guessed by the opposition.

I do hope tonight lays rest to the notion that Foye or Burks can be a point guard.
Maybe Burks, but he has a bit of an issue fending off hounding defenders when he's not driving. Plus, he rarely passes when he's driving. Foye just can't run a pick and roll. He's actually pretty good driving and passing off of that, but his reads on the pick and roll are terrible.
That leaves a problem. Given Corbin's history, I don't think he's all that likely to have a three guard lineup (Burks, Foye, PG), so that means Carroll backs up Marvin, and only one of Foye and Burks backs up Hayward.

pretty fun game to watch for a preseason game. Clippers really stepped up there defense at the end of the 2nd quarter and in the second half. It took away our running game. Glad that happend in a preseason game so the Jazz know that they aren't going to be able to just run teams off the floor like they did to the Lakers. Sap needs to let his game come to him instead of trying to do it all himself. Liked the way the bench played again tonight. Evans was fun to watch also. Don't think I have ever watch a game that had as many blocked shots as this one.
I just don't see it with Burks either .. other than spot minutes.

This.
If I was coaching the other team I would triple team the vet. So predictable.

Corbin seems to be making it clear who his top 13 are.
Favors, Watson and Moe DNP.
The other ten who played round out the active roster.
Color me amused.
Favors and Moe are injured dude.
