You know I'm on board already.

If we cut down on turnovers we're going to be scary good. Right now we're near the bottom of the league in turnovers given up and because of that we're DEAD LAST in the NBA in field goal attempts per game. It's limiting our offense to only 101 PPG which is not representative of how good our offense can be. When we actually end a possession with a shot attempt we're good. We're 13th in the NBA in FG% and 5th in the NBA in three point FG%. If we cut into our turnover rate and add another 5-7 field goal attempts per game we can average somewhere in between 105 and 110 PPG rather easily. And that's with a top ranked defense that only gives up 97 PPG (which could drop a couple points as well if we're not turning it over). We could have a +10 to +15 point differential. That's an elite differential.

And I think we can cut down on the turnovers. I think a large portion of our turnover problem is coming from Bogdanovic and Conley being new to the offense and being so important to the offense. Once everyone gets comfortable with each other the offense should run more smoothly.

I'm a bit concerned about this Nets game coming up on a back-to-back. Hopefully, the Jazz can get a blowout early against the Ws and not come out flat against the Nets.

I'm looking for the Jazz to be about 30-10 after their first 40 games this year.
 
We are now all alone in second place. I have an irrational amount of confidence in this team. In every game this season at basically every point of each game i have felt like the jazz will win. I look at the roster and see so many good players. So much balance. Versatility. I think this team is much better than last years team. The only slight concern i have even had so far this season is conleys early struggles but even then i would remember the bricks of rubio and how the defenses defended him (or didnt in this case) and i still felt fine with conley. He is now playing how we expected him to.

Green, mudiay, and bojan have all been good pick ups. Green has been slightly disappointing overall but I have been a huge fan since the first time I saw him in a jazz uniform. Its so weird that he hasn't had a good career. He has the perfect size, length, athleticism and skillset for todays nba. I mean he is basically the perfect prototype player for todays game. 6 foot 9, 235 pounds, long, athletic, can shoot and handle. On paper he should be very good. Hoping the jazz can get him to his full potential.
Mudiay has been fantastic. Bojan is amazing. Conley is a big upgrade at point guard. Mitchell has made a leap. Royce is solid. Rudy is a monster. Quin is a great coach. Exum will be back soon for depth. Ingles will get there soon. Bradley is learning how to contribute and we are still winning.

This could be the year!
 
Tonight I want raptors over blazers
warriors over lakers
spurs vs timberwolves i have no idea but one of them will lose so thats good. (probably want the wolves to win)
Rockets vs clippers i have no idea but one of them will lose.
 
The stats say our offense is mediocre at best overall, but that definitely doesn't align with the eye test, or just my feeling when watching the team. Feels like we have quite a few go to guys who can get us a bucket. I love when Bogey, Conley, etc. start taking over. such a contrast to Mitchell needing to save our bacon every night.

Defense seems awesome, though SOOO dependent on Rudy.

Team has been through basically every type of game already, 1/8th into the season. Should only get better as they learn to play the system and with each other. Tons of offense being left on the court at the moment. One of the toughest early schedules in the NBA, and still 8-3.

Defense might regress just a bit, but offense should improve dramatically over the course of the season.

This is the stretch, everything should be rounding into form. Choo Choo
 
A good sign is remembering this iteration of the Jazz have been traditionally slow starters in the regular season. Not until after New Year's do they start clicking and go on extended winning streaks. I believe the last 2-3 years, at this time, the record was .500 at best. When this team starts firing on all cylinders, it looks like there won't be a need for scrambling to dig out of the hole the early part of the season dug for them. I'd imagine a top three seed should be expected.
 
Tonight's games:
Pelicans over clippers
Knicks over Mavs
Hawks over suns
Nets over nuggets
