Thursday October 7th Portland (Insert caveman Joke no one gets but me) @ Jazz

[Purch]

I personally found/find that EXTREMELY interesting. I'm not worried about his numbers, those will come, the question for me was and will continue to be how does THE TEAM play when he's on the floor. Early, but encouraging.

You can tell he's been a much more willing passer and has been focusing more on defense.

It seems like he already knows he can score when he wants to but he's trying to work within the offense.

It's gonna take a lot of work. But after this month I think he'll be a much more complete player.

Jefferson winded is concerning. If he was as excited to come here as he said and portrayed himself to be, he would be in the best shape in his life.

Jefferson looked fine. Whenever he tried to score, he did, but for the most part he was just letting the offense flow.

Eh, those things seem to work themselves out. Maybe he's taking longer to get acclimated to the altitude. The guy's averaged 34 minutes a game for the last four years, so I'm not too worried.

He is.

Best Shape of his life isn't the same thing as Utah Jazz shape

This is a guy who's best year was played at 293 pounds which clearly less muscle on his body and more fat

Can take ~6 weeks to get accustomed to altitude

FES drops the hammer

I love that Fes isn't even bothering to jump while trying to block a shot.

both 1st and 3 quarters jazz held the blazers to 15 and 14 points. Good starting lineup.

Pretty impressive. And the starters are going limited minutes. So the Jazz will be very, very tough once they all play 30+ mins.

That was a really fun game. I'm really really excited about evans.

Westly had a CRAZY ally oop to Bayless. Amazing play.
