What's new

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

keep in mind last week that the jazz were terrible in Porty, but pretty good at home.
I think that is what we will see this year. Young teams suck on the road.

It took the Stockton/Malone teams a few years to figure it out.
 
I am not impressed with Howard. His D is overrated and he has no O to speak of. Play Hayward, Burks and Evans at the wings and I'll be happy.
 
CJ chucks, CJ airballs. Bell is still on the floor. Jefferson still doesn't how to guard and hogs the ball. The Jazz have no leader, no three point shooter. Evans finishes an alley oop. Same exact team as last year except, but now with Kanter looking clueless on the offense. If Ty doesn't change up his game soon, the Jazz will get blown out by the Cavaliers, T-wolves, Pacers, kings, and bucks.
 
The good news is that the Jazz should see a record amount of "garbage time" this season, providing the young players plenty of time to get experience and learn the offense. Whatever it is.
They seem to have run two plays tonight:

1. Pass ball to bigs 20 feet from basket, watch guards randomly run around poorly set screens, shoot off balance jumper.

2. Pass ball to Big Al in low post, avoid contact at all cost, close eyes and throw ball where the basket should be.
 
Oh well.. with all the youth, they're going to have to fail before they can hope to succeed. It's painful to watch, but that's the way it goes.
