October 22nd - UTAH JAZZ @ portland trailblazers (8pm MST)

LOL - when Boone asked if Portland had a hockey team am I the only one who thought that was a lead in comment about how Portland was playing 5 white guys at the same time?
 
Utah gives up 41 in the 1st, then when they finally play kanter and burks they score 41 in the fourth
 
It was nice to Favors be so aggressive in the first half. He needs to keep working on his offense, but being aggressive is a start. Kanter continues to impress me.

Al Jefferson hasn't changed one bit. When he touches the ball, the offense dies. We were up big in the first without him...Then we went to him and the next thing we know, three straight TO's, and Portland is then up big.

Burks isn't that good. He can be, but there is a reason why he isn't playing very much. He can do one thing very well, and that is it. Not good enough.

Favors is amazing defensively and AWFUL offensively.

Kanter is looking much, much better.

We are the same team as last year...black hole AL kills us on offense and defense. Our PG play is okay at times, subpar most of the time...

The only improvement we have is Kanter is better and Marvin is better. The problem with Kanter is, he probably won't get too many minutes once the season starts. We have to get rid of Al ASAP.

Burks isn't that good huh? Well he has outplayed foye in EVERY game so far, and outplayed hayward in a few of them too. Oh and he can only do one thing well? I assume you mean get to the line, but he is also shooting about 75% from 3, rebounding better than any of our wings, playing decent defense, hitting mid range shots, and passing the ball quite well.

About the only thing burks isn't doing well is free throw shooting..... every other part of his game is looking pretty good.

hayward had 1 assist, 0 rebounds and 4 turnovers and has been struggling more than burks throughout the pre-season..... and foye? He has had a much worse pre-season.
 
Portland does play well at home. Jazz shot .519 but Trailblazers shot .575. Utah was .316 to POR .480 from 3, and .667 to .828 from the line. Favors looking better.
 
So far this pre-season, the only big to show that he deserves to start is Kanter. Corbin has noticed ... so Kanter can expect his floor time to rise dramatically to 13 mpg, including that all important first two minutes of the fourth.
