Yay, we won
Really, it's one of those wins that you can't know what to feel about.
No, no. I take it back. I know what to feel about this win. It means nothing, we played awful and we won't be able to do anything in the Cup with this game.
15-1 series by Turkey in the last 5 mins. That's kinda ridiculous. The offensive rebounds we gave was also ridiculous, considering there are only 3 NZ players over 6'8" and we have big bodies in every positions and we have Aşık who is a top 3 rebounder in the NBA.

Exum just had a nice pass leading to FT attempts.
Not sure why Exum doesn't take it at that guy on that fastbreak. He could have easily drawn a foul.
Summary for the Jazz guys in the games today:
Exum: Honestly he looked lost and weak on the court. The game was too tough for him, he struggled and couldn't take contact much. The difference of the level especially experience wise is just too much for him. If he played more, I'm afraid Dragic could make him his wife or maid. Unfortunately it's the situation at this point. 2 rbs, 1 assist, 0 pts in 11 mins of playing time.
Motum: Calm, smart and efficient. But his team don't use him much. But he was trusted to finish the game on the court. 8 pts 3/5 FG, 2 rbs in 17 mins.
Tomic: Decent performance with 8 pts, 11 rbs and 4 assists. Bearing his rebounds were against a very short team. His defense was weak and 5 TOs was hard to watch.
So far in the games:
Neto: Meh. He always looks really good on the court with his dribble and all but he just doesn't impact the game deeply. He couldn't create for his team mates much yet and but was OK in his own offense.
Gobert: The Gobert we all know. A reliable presence in the paint but went into foul problem. Could also be better at rebounds. 6 pts 3/5 FG, rbs, 2 blks in 19 mins so far.
