I dedicate the first post about the days results and upcoming games to [MENTION=840]fishonjazz[/MENTION]

Last night the Rockets beat the Warriors by 1 point despite CP3 being unable to find the basket.

Tonight's games:

Nuggets @ Jazz
Pelicans @ Grizzlies (to close to call at this point)
Wolves @ Spurs (another win win)
Blazers @ Suns (Suns are not competition, Blazers might be)
Rockets @ Kings (Balance out their win last night, plus I hate them)

OP updated with standings and Power rankings.

Agree with your picks. That pelicans vs grizzlies game is a true toss up. In the past few years we would have easily wanted the pelicans to win but this year i expect memphis to be a bit worse and i expect the pelicans to be a bit better.
Im still rooting for the pelicans cause i still think memphis is a tiny bit better.


LOL at the warriors being in last place currently btw.

I pretty much agree with you take on the Pelicans/Grizzlies game. Hard to get a feel for them right now. I will need to see how they shake out before I start making real calls on them.

I don't believe in the Pelicans at all. I mean somebody has to live in the cellar in the West, I can see no reason why it shouldn't be them.

The west cellar will be owned by the Suns and Kings IMO. Pelicans have Davis and Cousins. And will be feed most of the season by Rondo. Jazz are clearly better IMO but the Pelicans will be decent.
 
Comparing the Jazz's roster to last year:

Rubio/Mitchell > Hill/Mack

Healthy Favors > Unhealthy Favors

Udoh > Jeff Withey

Healthy Burks > Unhealthy Burks

This year's Gobert looks equal to or better than last year's Gobert.

The only thing we're dealing with is the loss of Hayward and the effect of giving those touches to Hood, Johnson, Burks and Mitchell.

A line-up with Hood, Joe Johnson, Gobert and Mitchell should have plenty of offense.

I still think the Jazz should end up above 45 wins.

Gobert looks better on offense than last year.

But we did lose the elephant ballerina.
 
Jazz win their season opener over the Nuggets. A team some had being ahead of the Jazz. This win could matter as a tiebreaker later.

Choo choo!!!
 
Last night's recap:

JAZZ WIN!!!!!!! Woot woot! The Spurs, Grizzlies, Blazers and Rockets also won.

Nuggets, Pelicans, Wolves, Mavs, Suns and Kings lost.

Tonight's games to keep an eye on:

Knicks @ Thunder
Clippers @ Lakers ( I think the Clips are far bigger a threat than the Lakers but I cannot root for the Lakers.) Can the building burn down?

OP updated
