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

Cy they may have gone through full practice yesterday because it is pre-season... they won't do that during the year on gameday. The legs looked dead last night... particularly Rudy. I'm fine with him easing in though because he played a lot this summer. I don't think it was cumulative fatigue, but could they be tired from practicing really hard? Sure.

We aren't good shooters, but the whole team went Trey Burke last night. I think we are better than that.

Rudy being fatigued is something I can understand, he played a lot in FIBA.
 
Cy likes......no.no...loves to argue.

He text messages me in the middle of the night looking for an argument. It insane. It's like crack to him.
 
Didn't get to watch the game last night, but living in Portland, I was able to listen to some of the post game on the way home from work. Apparently Portland played amazing defense and they will be a borderline playoff team that will be close to .500 this year...

Their D wasn't terrible but the Jazz missed a bunch of open shots. It was a Jazz failing more than a Portland D thing. At least the shooting. They clogged the lane but Burks still shredded it on drives.
 
I'll give Portland more credit than that. They had a game plan and they executed it well. That's true on both sides of the ball. They have a long and versatile roster. They won't be as bad as most people thought.
 
“I thought we played really well in Hawaii. I thought we played really hard. I thought our energy was good,” Hayward said. “We just kind of stagnated in Phoenix, fatigued mentally and physically"
 
It's preseason.. Jazz were 6th in the NBA last preseason in 3-shooting % and finished the season 19th. Whether you think the Jazz will regress, improve, or stay the same from last season, it is stupid to base anything off preseason play. Trey Burke shot 47.2% from 3 in 7 preseason games last season.

Yes, Phoenix was a legit fatigue excuse. Having two days to rest after is not.
