Preseason Game 1: Utah @ Portland, Monday Dec 19th, 8pm MST

[Jazz4ever]

Our team can't pass, everything one on one.

Hayward been looking confident but can't hit a thing

Looks like he needs to learn more ways to score off his drive.

When are we going to get to see Juwan Howard?

Time to dust off the "This Is Our Year" banner that's been in storage under the ESA.

AK sucks out there

DWill isn't passing him the ball.

Jazz having difficulty figuring out Portland's switching on defense.

 

[Cope]

This ladies and gents, your 2012 Utah Jazz!!

Also is it just me or could Favors pass as a bigger Michael Vick?

 

[Stifle Tower]

highly doubt Corbin has anywhere near a Sloan record. I don't care much for Ty. This is the start of his second season.

Start of his 2nd season? Yes, I guess you can count taking on a team in disarray, bringing in a ton of new players and 30 games as a fair full season.
Also, don't forget Sloan had a good team handed to him by Layden. Not exactly the same situation as a coach trying to build a team from basically draft picks. Corbin MAY turn out to be a bust. But it's WAY too early to tell. I doubt Corbin has told all his players to just try to go one-on-one and not pass. The learning/reaction curve on the defensive end is also going to take some time. Corbin is asking players to change the way they've played (at least the Jazz vets) from Day 1.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Portland hitting some crazy shots.

 

[IBProfane]

I love the way that Evans, Kanter and Favors are hitting the boards tonight. Jefferson REALLY needs to learn how to box out.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Well he's got a lot of work to do then. Hope his philosophy works.

With all of the off-season work these guys did focusing on shooting, losing and/or gaining weight, being the first to practice to work on leadership, etc...I would have expected that 2012 Jazz would have been different than 2011 Jazz. What gives?

Fool me once, shame on uhh...you know how it goes.
