Game 1.... This will clearly test the coaching staff‘s initial mindset on how to use our perimeter defenders.

I think this may be viewed as just lubing up the machine. Better temper those expectations because it's going to take a lot of foreplay before the action gets going.

Unfortunately this is too true. You probably know that I’m not expecting anything too radical early on.... and the result through 10 games is .500 at best.
 
This will be very tough: Portland is a better team than a lot of people believe.
Nevertheless, this is a must win.
Key points:
  1. A good deal of effort at defense, especially perimeter defense.
  2. Creation of good 3-point shots.
  3. Second unit + bench players who can make the difference
Let's go!!!

Portland way worse team than people believe. If the Jazz dont win this comfortably I will be disappointed.

They looked awful in pre-season. Nurkic looks bad. Almost no one tries on defense. Maybe they can flip a switch, but it looks like they're going to try to outshoot teams.

Rudy has looked a little more spry in pre-season to me... I think we see chip on his shoulder locked in Rudy this year. Would love to see us show just a little higher on some nights or at least alternate.
 
Hyped myself up last year for this offense with multiple options and a smooth flow. My son's birthday gift were tickets to the first game against OKC. We ended up winning but man was it a clunky game. I was thinking, damn, it's good to get a win out in a game that we played like we flushed paper towels down the toilet. But then that continued. Anything better than that tonight and it's a success.
