Also thought Pleiss getting benched for Withey interesting. It was clearly because Pleiss wasnt playing well and seemed to be getting overwhelmed (and the whole still not knowing about basket interference).
Ingles is generally pretty bad. Pleiss is bum status unfortunately.
So you think playing with a different rule for like 10 years doesn't have an impact on your habits? Especially when other than travelling it's not a situation that happens in every possession but only in a couple per game?
Nah, I really think he just needs to get a little bit stronger and use to the NBA game.
It took Ingles 4 months to learn how to shoot NBA 3 pointers, it's going to take Pleiss sometime to adjust too.
Do the Lakers even have a player who is as good as our best 3? It's not like they have anyone worth resting other than Kobe, everyone else needs practice. They did however go without Russell for most of the game and Kobe was restricted (though less than the 1st game). If you add all the starters minutes up on each side, the Lakers only played their starters 4 more minutes (if my math is right, Im tired as ish).
That first quarter was super fun to watch. The steal, pass to Hayward who dribbled around the defender and then made the assist to Gobert who made a behind the back dunk was awesome. Sort of sad that play happened during preseason to be honest. That **** was fun!
Glad the bench and our long injured starter were able to beat the lakers, but it wasn't as fun to watch.

Sill the best Jazz preseason play of all time.
Uhhh, when did I say that?
Only thing ruining that clip is David Locke's voice.
