Game Thread Aug 01, 2020: Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Added to Calendar: 08-01-20

It's one frickin game - we couldn't throw a rock in the ocean for crap's sake. OKC has our number pure and simple. We played em better before they got Chris Paul (1st round win two years ago), we could count on Westbrook to make stupid mistakes. Confidence is a funny thing - they own us now. Just like the Raptors and the Lakers - swept them something like ten straight. With LA's star studded roster this season you'd think the Lakers would dominate, but nope, another sweep for the Raptors.
 
The Jazz got outrebounded across the board today. The funny thing is that their guys like Diallo, Dort and Bazley hit 3s, while our guys couldn't buy one.

We have to do something about our three point shooting if we're to have any hope at all in the playoffs.
 
Snyder's an insensitive prick. It was a rout, everybody played for OKC. Everybody played for Utah EXCEPT journeyman Ed Davis AND we got killed on the boards. With the Jeff Green, Joe Johnson, Rodney Hood, & Thabo Sefolosha fiascos, I'm beginning to see why: a) ex-players get so up for us, and b) we have so much trouble signing guys particularly for playoff runs. I mean even Brooklyn was able to sign Tyler Johnson, Michael Beasley and Jamal Crawford (could've used Beasley or Crawford) and we're certainly a better team than they are.
 
The reaction, people were really slandering Don on twitter tonight. Lots of “he can’t be the best player on a title team” takes. Not saying this guy is right but I don’t like some of the tidbits I keep seeing

 
"The Jazz have 30 empty minutes from players replacing Bojan." That quote is from company men Boone and Locke. Quin needs to earn his pay and get some production from someone.
Empty is the super nice way of putting it... it implies you got an empty container... but how much harm can an empty container do? It isn’t the worst thing.

No- what we got was a container filled with flaming hot diarrhea... the type you have where you know this is likely just round one of a twelve round fight.

Not sure we get to a point where Quin tries something different though. He couldn’t even throw Brantley out there in garbage time.

Probably has something to do with his little bullet proof vest antics as well. Though he did suck *** tonight.

Gallo banked one I’m in the first and I kinda knew it wasn’t happening for us then.

Are you sure he suited up? He's not listed on the Box Score on NBA.com.
 
We are shooting terrible the first couple games. But I think we will correct that. It seems to me the whole league is shooting poorly to start.
