Lol, tbh I am surprised it took 4 preseason games for the doubt to start.
Jazz left Hawaii on Thursday. But they didn't go to Phoenix for that game. They went to Utah and then traveled to Phoenix on Friday before the game. Then back home for Mondays game.
Hawaii to SLC isn't a 1-2 hour time difference it is 4 hours. Then they were basically allowed no chance to rest before traveling again and playing another road game.
Jazz had several good open looks and the shots just were not falling.
Favors 2-11
Hayward 3-15
Burke 2-8
Ingles 3-8
Hood 3-12
Only Burks had a good night. When that many players can't make a shot that is fatigue. Jazz shot 31% FGs, 22.7% 3s and 68.3% FTs.
Jazz now have 6 days off to rest up and practice. They will look much better next game on Sunday the 18th.
preseason lol.

I just watched on TV but it seemed the refs were calling a lot of questionable calls, especially against Rudy that effectively took him out of the game -- even when he was in the game, he had to play tentative because of that. Also, it seemed they had to foul Derrick three times before they called a foul. What's up with that?
You are aware we where one of the worst shooting teams last year and we are returning practically all the same players, right? I think it's more of our players just aren't good shooters.
"Fatigue" for a home game on 2 days rest is lol.

Not really an "lol" fatigue is a legitimate reason for the poor shooting . Quin has given practice priority over games
Not a normal road trip. 4 hour time difference and they stayed an extra day sacrificing their rest.
And you are aware that Hayward, Favors and Hood all shot well above the %s in this game for season avgs. right?
You are aware that they had only 1 good nights sleep, not 2, and a 3 1/2 hour practice the day before right?
Not surprising that you have another horrible take on the situation.

So do you think that hayward, favors, burke, and hood shot at right about their season averages from last year during last nights game?
Or do you maybe agree with stoked that almost all of our core players had an off night shooting?
You have to be joking.

I think they're probably just worn down from all the wear and tear of the season. It's a brutal stretch.
No you guys! One bad night of horrible shooting trumps season averages!
Last season:
Hayward 44.5%
Favors 52.5%
Hood 41.4%
Team avg. 44.7% (good for 19th btw)
All anomalies and last night is the truth.
Or they had an anomaly of a road trip (4 hour difference) and sacrificed sleep for an extra day in the sun. Then they flew to Utah instead of Phoenix (dumb). Then extra long practices.
