Motum > Evans
Murry > Clark
I don't understand why Murry is not getting enough playing time...he is a good defender and has playmaking ability!
Clark does not convince me...he had enough chances to prove himself!
It would be scandalous if they cut Murry at the expense of Clark and Jones!
Kanter has to make a qualitative leap...he will have a lot of competition this year! He has no excuses anymore but let's wait for the season to start before to dump him definitively.
Booker is much better than I tought!

Notice at the one minute Mark how gobert grabs the ball after exum gets fouled and dunks it with authority
Love the attitude!
Has there ever been a more enjoyable preseason?
I probably watched 5 games last year, and even at that there was a lot of fast forward (porno-style) action going on.
I have watched two preseason games in-full and enjoyed every minute of it.
I have no idea how well this team will perform this year, but I know I want to watch!
Let's organize some small (just the awesome posters) get togethers to watch a few games this year. Low cost. Causal. No pressure.

I think the Jazz cut Cooley and Motum and keep everyone else.

Here's a gif of that moment
Snyder is gonna make an amazing crazy-looking-mad-scientist-genius old man in 20 years.
Jerry Sloan would stalk the sidelines scowling at everyone, almost daring a player or ref to defy him. I loved the intensity and passion, and drive to win. Snyder shows a similar look, and I like it.
Gobert to Hayward
There are so many beautiful things about this play. First of all the spacing. Overload one side, Pf in the corner three, the C pops high to receive the ball, the pg, who has a height advantage is posting up.
Next, notice the sf passes to Rudy and immediately moves, faking baseline before cutting to the middle. The one step to baseline is enough to create separation. Simultaneously, Hayward begins to go out high to catch above the three point line, his defender is doing what he has been told to do, that is force Hayward to catch the ball further from the three point line, but he over plays it and doesn't realize there is only a pg back to help, when Hayward sees it, He immediately cuts to the basket and Gobert makes a terrific pass. The sf is also in a position to get an offensive rebound.
Strategic step, purposeful movement and passing. I love my new Jazz.
Sometimes I think I am always the Blacksheep of jazz fans. I really do not get the trade kanter for a 2nd round pick or anyone that breathes Montra. Last night kanter had 8 points and 10 rebounds on 50 percent shooting at halftime. Moreover I see real improvement in his passing. People are quick to say his defense is bad but he has guarded Aldrich and BG two of the beat power forwards in the league. I see real effort on his part on defense. Does he need to improve his defense yes they all do but kanter has done nothing for people to say lets trade him.
I do get that gobert is playing great. That doesn't mean you trade kanter for a bag of peanuts and some magic beans.

IAWTP. I'll never understand the mentality of all these people who seem to want to pile on and magnify any negative they can find or even imagine.
