What's new

jazz is at -4.5, blazers at +4.5 in Bovada

Don't panic. I think Lyles will be huge in that regard. I don't know why he didn't play much tonight. My guess is Quin is just experimenting a lot. I fully expect Lyles to be much improved by the season's end so even if the Jazz struggle big time against small-ball lineups, it won't be for long.
Well if you don't like him then you can be mad. I am soooo mad today about Lyle again. I know we can have booker and suns would not swap because they know Jazz are stupid
 
Yeah, but the thought is that you can exploit small lineups inside, so the differences would off-set and tire out/overwhelm the small lineups and you would force the other team to adjust.

Exploiting small lineups inside isn't very effective when your team can't shoot. Whenever anybody gets the ball in the paint they get swarmed by help defenders.
 
really instead of re-signing a guy like Ingles, who is an OK shooter who shoots a slow shot, we should have gotten someone like Marco Bellineli who can be a lights out shooter.

I can't remember who it was that was saying we should go after a 3 point shooting wing this summer. Kept starting threads and being super annoying about it. Who was it? Thinking...


Ohhh yeah it was me.
 
Lillard not playing tonight.

Bet it.

I have heard that the jazz will be going hard tonight.
After the Hawaii trip they feel like they are a little behind because they didn't get to practice as much so they have been practicing hard and going over allot of film.
And it's the first game in front of their fans. They will want a good showing.
I would take this bet.
Jazz win easy tonight fellas

Oopps.

Now a serious question, Rudy can turn it on like a switch right? He is just taking it easy because he played for France all summer?

Yes, I think Rudy is clearly just taking it easy because of playing all summer.
 
Meh, he took 2 or 3 open threes tonight.

He took 2 in the first quarter then gave up. That's how the Jazz offense gets clogged because defenders know we have some wings whose scouting reports probably read "dude doesnt want to shoot 3's, wants to pump fake and drive".
 
This loss isn't rocket science. The Jazz will lose every game this season when G time, Favors and Rudy play like they did tonight. No need to read more into it than that.
