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

How much better would our offense be if we jsut went out and signed Jeremy Lin and Marco Belinelli? Total they cost about 8 million a year over the next 2 years.

Quin and DL's biggest problem as a GM/Coach duo is they think they can turn crap into gold. Burke/Ingles/Millsap/Neto shouldn't be in a playoff team's rotation.
 
Yeah that idea that fatigue would make a mediocre shooting team (19th remember) shoot even worse is absurd.

Edit: I will give you this Cy, the Jazz can certainly use another shooter. A good one.

OMG, they went to Hawaii which is 4 hours difference, wow. So hard. Then they went to Phoenix for a day? Then they went home for 2 whole days? The season just started? Guys aren't even playing a full minutes load? They got to sleep at home for 2 whole days? These are pro athletes who are use to playing under much worse rest conditions during the season?

Locke was on the radio before last night's game talking about how hard the travel was on the team and how they had been practicing extra long and hard recently to make up for the missed practices while in hawaii.

I have heard coaches and players in the past talk about travel and fatigue as reasons for poor shooting.
Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Oh well, agree to disagree I guess.

Or you could be right and they shot poorly simply cause they didn't care since it was only pre season.

Or my theory could be right that you just have off nights as a team sometimes.

No reason to disagree with any of the theories imo.

Ok, so the Jazz weren't one of the worst perimeter shooting teams last year. They were just super fatigued last year cuz they practiced so hard. No reason to worry they have shown no improvement in perimeter shooting .They are still tired from practicing hard last year and this pre-season.

What you are not understanding is that last night was not how they normally shoot.

Your reasoning of "they just are not very good shooters" would be a good theory for if they shot 44%.

Also I never said that they shot poorly last night due to fatigue. I simply said that fatigue is one of many possible reasons.

I even said that your reasons might be correct.

You sure like to argue
