and we lost to some of the worst eastern conference teams.

realistically....we are going to get wrecked. But thats OK. lets see what we are REALLY all about.
 
Getting Hood back would be helpful. Raps have a lot of wings that can attack the basket. They may run Utah out of the building on transition.

On the plus side they're not very big - Jonas does not play heavy minutes and when he's not in the game they're usually playing small ball. Favors should have another high efficiency night.

This one is gonna be a struggle at best. Could be a 4th period a lot like the one in Atlanta.

I think transition defense is a point of emphasis with the Jazz, even to the point where we sacrifice offensive rebounding and other defensive fundamentals for it. We can get beat, but I don't think it will happen by teams fast breaking on us. I suspect a large part of practice is dedicated to transition defense which would explain our weakness at currently covering the second or third pass three ball.
 
Is Burks really going to take a dribble in from a wide open corner 3 to take a midrange shot?
