Quin Snyder says ,Attack,Attack ,Atatack ...way encouraging

I'm really excited about Donavan Mitchell's 2.6 steals per 36 minutes.

Hardly any of them NBA players.

Exum was one of the few players we had last year that actually looked comfortable playing at Golden State's blistering pace in the playoffs. Exum gets more effective the more the game speeds up.

He had 1 good quarter and finished that game 5/14 from the field, so nah, not really.

and he also attac

but he also attac

That team played zero defense. It was a Mike D'Antoni system where Amare would dunk, other guys would drill 3s and Steve Nash would do whatever he wanted. It was an unstoppable offense.

So fun to watch

Good though that you brought it up ....but let me finish it for you .It was the quarter that Exum was the PG wasn't it.He played at a high energy in the biggest game of his career and brought the Jazz back .After that Snyder stuck Mack back at PG,start of 3rd quarter and the route was back on .

Two things now ,Mack is gone and Exum will run PG behind Rubio and most likely playing with Mitchell and Burks

I'm really excited about Dante's 0.6 steals per 36 minutes.

Did you see that swat of a guy going to the rim in summer league? It was Gobertesque.

I don't care what our pace is. I want to see the Jazz win games. Other than taking advantage of early offense created by our D, I think to win we will need to be very deliberate and grinding on offense.

 

[Quin's Murderface]

The Pace thing will/should be simply that they are more aggressive defensively AND (this is important) they push the ball hard off of misses. I think they got a taste of how they should play when they experienced the pressure the warriors put on you in transition. Sure, GS has tons of weapons, but most of it is just a willingness to advance the ball aggressively every time. Most of the time the Jazz would walk the ball up the court last year, and it was clear that much of this was to help Hayward, JJ, Hill etc. Now with Exum, Mitchell, Rubio. TS, Udoh, Burks, etc it will be much easier to push the ball. I look for the second unit to do a lot of this.

If there's nothing there then they can always back it out and run the motion/passing game to tire out the defenders. I think Rudy will benefit from more running. He never seems to get tired, and can do a lot of damage in a scramble situation like that.

This is great but we don't have the shooters or finishers at the rim to do this all that effectively.

Is that important?

I'm doubtful that we will see a great difference. We may shoot a little earlier in the clock but we won't be a run and gun offense unless DM AB and Dante are playing a lot.

The Jazz have the shooters.

Finishers is probably true tho. No one on the roster at the wing or guard spots where it's a guaranteed bucket or foul in even numbers fastbreak situations.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I'm taking it more as we will not do the overpass thing as much... you open you shoot.

Who are our shooters? Our best two are Ingles and Hood and neither are good athletes and gonna get out ahead of the pack to put themselves in some great position for the open 3. I mean, it'll happen but yeah, the lack of athleticism hurts in this regard. And they're really not great shooters. I need to see Ingles do it again (now without Hayward here drawing attention) to fully believe and Hood is basically slightly above average.

I think Rubio will create more shots for teammates than Hayward -- that really is a given.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Last year, the Jazz played at a slow pace in part because we've relied on our wings to initiate and run plays with everyone set up so that they can swing the ball side to side. If Rubio can get us into our offense faster, it should be possible to play faster. As for finishing, we do have guys who can do that, including Jerebko and maybe Sefalosha. Hopefully Mitchell as well. Maybe even Eric Griffin.

 

[NAOS]

Pretty sure he said something similar last year! Wanted the pace to increase, but obviously that didn't happen, at all.

the word he used last year was "force".

I've already predicted that we'd end up in the middles of the pack on pace ratings. Probably lower-middle. I think you're crazy if you think this update from Snyder means that we'll end up near the top of pace rankings (and by "you" I mean "anybody reading this").

 

[NAOS]

Is that the 21 yr old Dante playing on a team whose emphasis was to run back on defense and then funnel offensive players to Gobert ? There wasn't much full court pressure or because of being on a short leash room to gamble on defense.Anytime Exum tryed to free lance alittle it was end of the bench for him.

Exum was a lost bonehead on a lot of possessions last year. He wasn't kept on a short leash. He was pulled when he messed up basic concepts. Stop being a homer. Thanks.

You dont have to be a good athlete to be a good transition shooter. You just run to the 3pt line. Mehmet Okur was one of the best transition 3 point shooters ever because of how slow he was on the secondary break.
