Jazz Defensive rankings

[MTS]

Jazz have how many 1st this coming up in this draft? 2? 3?

Just one (ours). We have three 2nd rounders.

Not too worried about Hayward. I'm guessing it has a lot to do with his pre-season injury.

I love our defense. LOVE. I really want to see us get to 5-1 and travel to Cleveland to see just how good we can be. Also, just keep in mind these two wins have been against two teams who may be the worst in the entire league along with L.A.

I don't understand why people are trying to dismiss Hayward.

I don't think very many people are.
I think most are just discussing his early season struggles so far

These stats are because we played against two of the worst teams in the league. And we lost to Detroit too. While Detroit is 3-0, I don't see them as being one of the best teams but more of a middling team. So can't put too much weight on how good we are yet.

If we can keep this up against teams that are decent, then we can start talking.

Kind of. The fact that we blew them out on the road means something, though.

As does the fact that the Jazz didn't juut beat them. The Jazz dominated them, it was brutal.

Yep, tbh even these numbers don't do justice to the chokehold we were putting on for long stretches.

Saturday will be the first real test.

The team formally known as the Thuggets will put up a fight. Their PG play might already be better than ours.

Might? No, I assure you, it is. By a mile.

Pretty damn good!!!

Meaningless since they take 25 seconds to jack up long two's every possession. Rest look interesting thus far.

It's not meaningless. Their 2-1 record and 19-10 to close last season prove that.

Also jazz are 6th in points in the paint per game at 46.7 per game this season.

Prognosis: False.

What he is saying is that they need to have a better offense. Opponent ppg can only tell you a little about how good a team is, and is not necessarily a reliable indicator of good defense.
