I was very skeptical about Paschall because his main skill was getting buckets...but he's been impressive in his role. He's done a good job playing within the team and he's definitely got talent/skill. It sucks that he can't shoot and I do wonder if that will catch up at some point, but he's still making a positive impact in other ways.

When they ignored him he put the ball on the deck and made some nice plays. His shot has looked okayish and I think he’s clearly focused on it working. I think we found something with the kid.

The 3 ball has yet to really fall for us.

If he defends he's fine and can be a nice player for this team. His ability to put the ball on the floor and make plays makes him passable on offense but at the end of the day you really want a wide open shooter to be able to make a wide open shot and I'm not so optimistic about that. Whiteside is playing well, but I'm still intrigued by Paschall at the 5. I think he could really feast in the paint if he was the one setting screens with a spaced floor. It's tough though. He's more of a defensive 4 and an offensive 5.

I thought the crowd was really weak tonight. The only time they got really loud all night was when they were trying to get free Chick-fil-A.

Joker finished as the leading scorer despite missing the entire 2nd half

There wasn’t much momentum ever built in the game as Denver kept scoring on almost every possession. Hard to get the crowd into it when the opponent matches you point for point. There was something like 20 lead changes in that first quarter. As soon as you rose up to cheer Joker, Gordon, or Porter was scoring a layup.

Whiteside does have a post game. Q apparently limits the amount of post plays we run.

That’s so F’n frustrating. It would literally destroy a team going small on us. Ugh!

I feel like Conley has it dialed in pretty well after some misadventures in the first game. Jingles is 7 of 12. Clarkson and Mitchell are really bringing us down here. . .

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

Yeah that was so weak.

I watched it again and Green threw the ref out of the way and then Whiteside pushed the same ref from behind. I think they got their 2nd techs for touching the ref. If so, i am fine with it.

Bojan is 5/16.
Royce is 3/11.

Donovan missed a LOT of threes.

The jazz collectively missed a LOT of open threes.

Still, we are one of just 3 undefeated teams so. Thats good.

Glad for the win, but an unimpressive performance. It felt like a low-intensity game all night long that frankly wasn’t very fun to watch.

Our defense remains piss poor and Bogey is a big culprit. It would be amazing if we could find an upgrade for him via trade.
