Game 1: Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Lakers, 8:30 p.m MT..Game Thread

Evans comes in for 5 minutes and make 4 points. Jefferson plays for about 25 and makes 4 points. Explains everything.

I'm really baffled by Ty's decisions to stick with units that aren't working. We got killed in the second, and destroyed in the 3rd. Minimal substitutions. The 3rd was the worst. We went 10 minutes getting slaughtered and only Millsap came in. Ty was like a deer in the headlights.

This was my one complaint about Corbin last year is that he didn't seem to have a feel for substitutions. This is where a veteran assistant coach can help by telling him that maybe Jefferson should sit down because all that "work" he did in Santa Barbara isn't paying off.

If he needs an assistant to tell him that, he needs to cease and desist.
 
The worst thing about this game is that the lakers played horrible. Which only goes to show how we Played! Hopefully it is just opening day rust and jitters!

I will say Kanter was one of the few players that looked like they try hard the whole time he was in, Milsap started to once the game was almost over and Bell *shutter* did a little bit on D (but he looked petrified of the ball on offense) I guess early on to Favors had small bursts of trying hard but that's the problem when one player (Kanter) stood out due to trying harder by far than everybody else then it's gonna be a long ugly night.

Howard looked like he wanted to play, as well. Kanter is weak in the flex. Afraid to pass down low, so the ball stagnates when it gets to him. Bell has no business getting the ball early in the shot clock, so he's not good in the flex. Harris is not a good floor general. He creates defenses lapses and needs players to play off him, so he's not good in the flex. Corbin wants to run off Jefferson in the post, which is good, but Jefferson HAS to be able to pass out of it, and players have to cut. Maybe the Jazz need to go to a 2-3 offense instead of 1-4 UCLA stuff.

Yes I said the same thing several pages ago and it is still very very depressing to think about.

Prediction: When the Jazz get blown out tomorrow, it's gonna suck a lot of our enthusiasm right out.

I hope it doesn't come true, but I have a feeling it will.

Unfortunately. Also, love how the only person to give me negative rep for my prediction was chitownjazz, the most negative guy on the board.

Isn't Jazz basketball fun?

It's been months since I've cursed at the TV. Damn you Jazz for ruining my night!

There we go that is a positive for the night, we all had the opportunity to yell and curse at our TV's, coincidentally yelling and cursing is better defense than the Jazz played most of the night.
