Gamethread: OKC Thunder @ Utah Jazz. 7PM MST.

I'm just going to say it... I think this is going to be a rough year for the Jazz. I love the team, but I feel like something is missing and it's gonna be hard.
I think they'll be fun to watch. I think DM is going to have flashes of amazingness, and also struggles.
I worry about Rudy struggling when the team is stalling on offense.
I've never been too much of a Hood fan and I'm not sure I see him holding down the lead scorer role. I like him a lot as a third option. Like a lot. I hope I'm off on that.
I'm big on Favors. I think he could be our leading scorer. His mid-range was looking smooth last night. He should have that open often.
I think it's going to take time for the team to adjust to the Rubio switch. I saw a few times last night when he did the right thing but the player he was setting up wasn't ready for it. That's going to get better, but it isn't going to get better right away.
We're all either going to be over the moon tonight or in the gutter. Let's shoot for the moon!

Done, thanks for the game thread!
I will be impressed if the Jazz cover the +4.5 line.

I agree with most of this. I also think Gobert may get hurt. I don't like the muscle (it's fairly noticeable in his arms) he's put on given his bone structure/hips/legs.
What does rough constitute as in regard to number of wins?

Both Denver and Minny are most likely playoff teams in the west IMO, and we came really close to being 2-0. Are you expecting us to blow out good teams? Considering the change in makeup of the team, I think we're doing just fine so far. On nights we're hitting our 3's, I think we can compete with anyone. On nights we're not hitting them, we'll likely struggle, but I'm not going to worry until we start getting blown out.
