Utah Jazz @ LA Lakers Tues Oct 6th

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.

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.

I have no problems if I am proven wrong. In fact, I hope I am proven wrong.

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).

Adding up the minutes from the starters for THIS game on each side is silly, because Booker isn't a regular season starter.

Our regular season starters played 88.5 minutes, with only 24 combined from our 3 best players. Theirs played 111, and probably would've been a lot more if Russell hadn't gotten injured. If you would have told me this was going to be the minute distribution prior to the game, I would've thought for sure this would've been a blowout.

Sill the best Jazz preseason play of all time.
 
from the Lakers message board:

"I hate Burks face. He looks like Mase"

"Utah's coach aka one of our former assistants who is more in touch with the modern game than Byron."

"I really, really like Rodney Hood."

"Alec Burks is pretty good. I'm going pick him up in fantasy."

"Hood is playing well for Utah. He was one of the few guys I like from Randle's draft class."

"Utah's coach is actually coaching his guys this makes me jealous"

"Burke on fiyah"

"Look at the consistency of the jazz. You know who they will play and what they will do, very organized.
The Lakers look opposite"

"I really like Raul Neto"

"fml season over, someone start a draft thread"
 
Bum status? Seriously? That's some ridiculous pronouncements for 2 games into pre-season.... especially for the type of games he was having(I wouldn't say great, but he was doing alright) - moves better than I expected on D, has some mean streak in him, Hibbert is horrible matchup for him simply because he's one of the most massive bigs in the league and Pleiss is still a weakling when it comes to strength. That's why Withey took his place in this game specifically. He needs to make some adjustments (stop with the offensive goaltending) and get stronger, but he could be a good back up in the league. Don't forget that this is his month in the league. We have a good coaching staff and strength and conditioning staff and I trust them to help him make improvements in that area.

Give me some burks action from this game though!....... Player of the game and not a single highlight from him yet?
 
I went to bed at halftime. Kudos to those who stayed up and watched the whole thing. Reading through this thread was pretty entertaining.
