Jazz vs Clippers: Round 2
- Thread starter Doublea
- Start date
preseason games have been too good to be true. i'm gonna be cautiously optimistic. we are not as good as think we are. and we aren't as bad as what 'critics' say. we are somewhere in between.
but i'm loving what i'm seeing. we are moving the ball. we are making quicker decisions. it doesn't look anything like corbin's amateur offence. i really wish kanter can hit those open 17 fters. would love to se more nastiness from favors. would love to see trey doing what he did tonight.

Strange stat: it appears FT% is the worst indicator of a team's success.
Jazz finally are respectable at 81% and lose; Clippers shot 59% and won. Go figure!

I agree. I will say that what we saw tonight was "real." The Clippers did not turn in a typical preseason performance. The last quarter and a half they really fought for the win.

Yep.
Manu Ginobili...scrub?
Many teams have a token starter at one position who plays short minutes, usually a strong defender who won't take a lot of scoring opportunities away from the other 4 starters. I think Alec has earned a chance to start. And making him a 6th man would not sit well in a contract year. But the other possibility is sitting Kanter and starting Booker. Enes can be a scorer off the bench where his defensive liabilities will not be as pronounced.
I really think the player the Jazz don't really need is Novak. WE have four bigs already who need PT. And Hood has established himself as a shooter at SF. I know Utah will keep him, but DL should look for a trade at the deadline.
****, that was better than any game last season.

Clippers are always a terrible FT shooting team. They have Griffin and Jordan on 1 team.
Did you guys notice CDR has a "Faygo" tattoo on his shoulder?
Dudes a juggalo.
Woop woop!

It was a pleasure to watch the Jazz coached by a guy who knows what he's doing.
My thoughts and experience from the game:
-Burke was awesome during the second half. Especially after Baby Griffin got in a fight with Mike Harris 2.0
-Steve Novak must be pretty cool because everyone was coming up to him and talking with him/shaking hands (Jazz players, guys working behind the scorers table, Clippers players, etc.)
-Gobert boxes out and wants the rebound every time. He played better than his stats showed.
-Kanter sucked. He had one nice block and his corner three was cool despite it not going in but aside from that I felt bad for the guy. He's physically imposing and should be dunking it and getting lay-ups.
-Exum is going to be a star. He played better in the first half and his double-team dribble to the hole for the hoop and foul was amazing.
-Rodney Hood didn't do much but he somehow fouled out.
-Favors is awesome. He's an intelligent player. He lurks around until he sees an opening or a mismatch and makes his move.
-Hayward is awesome. He had a bunch of steals in the lane and disrupted pretty well. There were times where it looked so easy for him.
-Amazed Clark played more than 30 minutes. Would have loved to see Burks be healthy and play.
-Jones sucks and we need to cut him.
-Wanted to see Cooley, Motum, Murry & Felix play. As mentioned, either Cooley or Motum was nailing 3's from the corner during the shoot-around after halftime.
-Is Evans hurt or does Snyder hate him?
-The guy who was yelling during Jazz free-throws finally returned but he switched seats with his friend and never yelled during another free-throw (smart of him).
-Clippers fans are attention wh0res and they take pictures of the jumbotron when they see themselves on it.
-Also, most Clippers fans know nothing about basketball.
-CDR is cool. I like his game and he looks like a cartoon character.
-Crawford killed us tonight. I would see him over from behind the ARC and want to scream. Nobody could stop him. He even schooled Exum numerous times despite what some people on here think.
-Snyder is a hands-on coach. He's active. I wish I knew what he was saying to players when he pulls them aside.
