What's new

There's a game on tonight.

The way I look at it is like this-
If the jazz played this same stretch of seven games in the regular season do I expect they would go 5-2? No. But I think 3-4 is fairly reasonable, which is still something to get excited about.

Needs consistent 3s (at least the corner) and mid range game to be a 20+ scorer though. Like DeRozan.

Though derozan sucks at 3's and mid range shots.

His percentages were horrible last year (his all star year)

Our schedule is pretty damn brutal to start off though, so that momentum from preseason we have can quickly fade.

I don't know. I don't think the rest of the league will be prepared for what they'll face first month of the season. Aside from completely new system on both ends, even the returning players look transformed with all improved games from last year.

Corbin should have tried/thought of that

Can we just forget Corbin existed?



Other than him supposedly lobbying to get Burke, that **** is looking pretty good, thanks Corbin.

I feel like every team we have played outside of the Clippers (that 1 game we lost) haven't really tried or have been severely injured (Lakers missing most of starting lineup, no Durant), so that is why I remain cautious with my optimism.

I thought Portland was trying in one of the games we beat them in. (Seems like I remember thier starters all getting about 30 in one game)

Do you ever get tired of this?

I hope you don't. It's a long season. There will be many Corbin references as the season goes on..... not just from me.

I hope you will be able to put your big boy pants on and handle it.

(By the way.... Corbin has only been gone less than a year. It's not like its ten years down the line)

Nah they all got about 24. I think we kill the Lakers every time though based on how we played them. Lin and Nash aren't going to make a 20+ point difference.

Don't we face plenty of those teams on the back end of back-to-backs? If we can get some wins against those teams, in that scenario, then it could parlay this momentum into full-blown confidence.

Not sure, I just know our first 6 games are against teams that will probably make the playoffs.

Of our first 6 games, 5 of them are against teams on the second-half of a back-to-back. FYI.
 
Cy said:
Still got to take them though just to keep defenses honest.

If you always miss them does it keep then honest still? Burks, and the rest of the starters were doing fine when he had not even attempted a 3 point shot.

I don't think anyone worried about wades 3 point shot and he did ok. Same for westbrook and rose..... and tony parker. I don't think everyone has to take alot of threes to be effective

I agree it would be nice for him to take and make lots of threes but if he remains elite at getting to the line and is very good at getting into the paint then he will be fine.

Still a wicked stretch... followed by a 5-game road trip. If we make it out of that stretch near .500, then I'll be the ****ing koolaide guy
