It's the most wonderful time of the year (first game of the year!). Hou @ Jazz Game 1 of many.

I did see some improvements from Hayward tonight. He only made 3 shots, but they way he made those 3 shots were encouraging.

1. Looks like he can finish at the rim better now due to his stronger build. (one dunk, one layup he muscled in)
2. He made a floater. (one more than he made all last season) Hopefully he added this to his offensive repertoire.

He still sucks shooting wide open threes like last season doe...

He was awesome at nailing 3's in the preseason. He just had a bad night. He was defended by one of the top wing defenders in the league and one of the best rim protectors in the league. Houston actually played really good defense by overplaying everything and not allowing our offense to run smoothly. We just have to get better at executing against pressure.
 
I've said this season will go as Burke goes and tonight was no different. 6-16, 0-4 3pt with just 4 assists.

Hayward is a role player with a big contract - we'd better get used to a lot up and down play from him. That's G-time. It's who he is.

Burke is the guy who needs to be more consistent with his shooting and his playmaking. He simply didn't make the game easier for teammates tonight. You combine those things with a 14-27 3pt shooing performance from the Rockets, you will lose every time.
 
And what's up with that Ingles knucklehead getting in the game? Burks found him for a wide open three and he clanked it - the same shot Novak makes in his sleep.

You need a dorky Australian, bring back Motum for hell sakes. That guy can play.

All of our off-ball action was being busted by the Rockets overplaying everything. This loss was on the team, not sure why everyone is trying to blame it all on one player's offensive performance.
 
Such a small sample size for all of our players tonight and all of you guys are acting like you know each players fate.

That goes without saying. My point is, Burke played too much like he did last year and that just isn't going to get it done over the course of the season. My comment really has little to do with this one game. the Jazz will lose about 60 games this year if Burke doesn't figure things out.
