Game Thread Dec 28, 2020: Jazz at Thunder

[fishonjazz]

West is going to be a bloodbath. Every road win is a gem. Although Memphis might be in trouble depending on what happened to Ja. Took down Brooklyn first though.

What happened to jah?

They shot the ball well... so did Minny... issue is too many open shots. We’ve got to have guys making multiple efforts.

We also need to throw Shaq out there for the 10 Niang minutes.

DM is forcing things and his shot has disappeared... one may have led to the other... he will figure it out. Regardless his defensive attention needs to improve. He can be a plus defender... I don’t think Bogey can.

The defense will look better once Rudy doesn’t have to guard a stretch big... but we’ve got to figure out how to cover the stretch bigs and keep Rudy in the paint.

Which teams don’t have a stretch big? NOP? Wherever Drummond and Thompson play?

****. Ja is the most electric player in the NBA. Sucks.

I saw Donovan get burned about 9 times.

You're the go to guy for these highlights in the game thread. I appreciate it.

I'm holding off, but I think some of the DM struggles might be related into forcing him into more of a PG role. I really worry about Mitchell when Conley leaves and the Jazz dont replace him with a high level handler.

Conley showed a lot of poise today

Fans in OKC are anticipating a long overdue rebuild; we were happy to see this team of young players compete. Many of our fans want this team to finish on the bottom and get a good draft pick. GM Sam Presti has a chest of future draft picks like a squirrel storing nuts for the winter.

Great game--veteran presence helped the Jazz tonight despite some inconsistencies in uncharacteristic play not typical of Jazz culture.

I’m going to wait a few games before I get real nervous. I think sometimes the bad shooting builds on itself and gets mental. Think it can be contagious a bit too with everyone tightening up.

He doesn’t seem to be running stuff right now but just kinda putting his head down and driving into the middle of the defense. Fine when he can either score or kick out. Last two teams have athletic physical defenders.

Crazy start to the season. Clips beat Lakers, Lakers kill Dallas, Dallas destroys Clips. Jazz destroy Blazers, lose to Wolves, Lakers destroy Wolves, lose to Blazers. Which only goes to show that we’re as good as anybody.
When Don and Bogey struggle and we still compete that says a lot. We’ve got so many weapons now, and nobody will convince me that the Lakers roster is better than last year’s rim protection unit with McGee and Howard.
