*** Utah Jazz @ Detroit Pistons Wednesday October 28th 5:30 MT Official Game Thread***

If the Jazz struggle a little with spacing, the Pistons will have even more problems this year. Jackson + KCP + Marcus Morris doesn't equate to much 3 point shooting.

I think Stanley Johnson will be huge for them though as the season goes along. He's looked good in the preseason.

They ranked 17th last year and they added some better 3pt shooters.

Morris has shot it well the last 2 years.

KCP has potential as a shooter.

Jackson is up and down, but he shot 34% while he was with Detroit last year.

They will have Ilyasova or Morris play the 4, and add in guys off teh bench like Meeks (very good shooter), Blake (pretty good shooter), and Toliver (very good shooter for a backup big).

They have added a few guys. I don't know if ilyasovas shooting alone will warrant him playing more than 20 mpg.

Obviously SVG is trying to put together a similar roster to what he had in Orlando with Drummond surrounded by 4 playmakers/shooters. It does seem like their bench should shoot well, like you said.
 
I think both teams will have trouble scoring, I'm predicting low scoring win for the Jazz 86 - 79
 
I am afraid Detroit wins it simply because this will be their second game. Back to back as in first and second game of the season is nothing. The Jazz will be rusty and probably low energy coming off training camp. What I've seen in preseason doesn't add confidence as well.

I still think it's something.
 
I remember Cy saying he was going to put together an epic game thread. This is ****ing terrible.
