Countdown to Game #1 - Utah Jazz @ Sacramento Kings

Royce O'Neale misses some shots. Doesn't play the rest of the game. Quin not messing around.

I dont think that's why he didnt play. It was because O'Neale doesnt provide offense and the Kings dont have wings that need to be locked down. Exum/Burks are just more talented, so they are going to play more unless the Jazz need O'Neale's defensive specialization.

Really only a few people had truly good games: Gobert, Ingles, Exum, Burks were the 4 that really stuck it most of the night. Favors bounced back and came on strong at the end. Crowder did fine, but if that is all he has to offer he won't play much. But the rest really need some work. First game jitters. Mitchell started to look in form toward the end of the night. Rubio just got out of the blocks poorly. They need some solid game tape sessions and practice before the next one. Shake off the rust, get the gears to mesh. We will still come on strong. When we are firing on all cylinders we will be very very hard to beat.

Disagree about Crowder. Nights like tonight are exactly what we should expect from him, and be satisfied. He's not going to wow you, but he hit shots, played solid defense and didn't make mistakes.

Mitchell really plays like crap and puts up 24. What happens once he finds his groove? 40+ on the reg?

It’s the sign of a great player. He royally sucked in the 1st and the 3rd and still found a way to bounce back.

My only issue with Crowder is his stepback jumpers he randomly shoots.

Hopefully it's not caused by lingering hammy issue from last year. He looked like a corpse

Yeah... I've been worried about some sort of injury for the past week. Hasn't looked right at all.

I dont think it was quiet. He was on the losing end of quite a few WCS highlights. Rudy had a Kanter-like performance. A double-double but lost his matchup. Kings had the answer for him.

Joe Ingles All Star. You heard it here first...

Absolute nonsense

I have to think a good portion of Mitchell struggles tonight was partly to blame on Rubio. Rubio looked all sorts of wrong tonight.
