What's new

Utah Jazz Preseason Game #1 Sydney Kings at Utah Jazz Mon Oct 2, 7:00 pm

I dont even know what I can take away. The level of competition just wasnt that good (though they could shoot the ball really well and generally played at a high level, just physically every position was a complete mismatch). Felt like the Jazz were playing at 70%.
 
I didn't watch too closely, but here's a couple reactions:

*I was surprised by the Gobert-Udoh and Favors-Udoh combos. And surprised that it seemed to work well enough. I mean, sweet lord, if those combos work well enough on offense then our defense will be wall-to-wall torture chamber
*Mitchell was a ****ing steal.
*We are getting something positive out of Exum this year.
*Rubio is going to polarize jazz fans, and the dumbass haters are going to make this place unbearable.
*I'm going to be Sefolosha's biggest JFC fan
*Favors looks good

Agree with most and on Rubio let me start making this place unbearable - if he plays like he did today and if Exum keeps it up, there is a chance Exum takes his spot by the end of the year. His shot looks uglier than Exum's and it doesn't seem to go in either. That's without me even going into his layups. Just passing (which is admittedly world class) won't be enough.

No way. Rubio played better than Exum today for sure.

...says the hater

:P
 
Exum one of the players were I have no idea if it's just him playing against non-athletes and no size or he actually played well.
 
Jazz absolutely cannot play at a George Hill pace this year on offense and be effective. When the Jazz slowed the pace, the 0ffense kinda fell apart.
