Preseason Game 1: Utah @ Portland, Monday Dec 19th, 8pm MST

[Dr. Jones]

OK - who will emerge as the leader of this team - throw coaches and players into the mix - who stands out?

No leader, imo.

 

[billyshelby]

Defensively, our rotations are actually worse than last year.

 

[Bodhi]

But the story of the game is the fact we're not running any offense

Fixed

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Derrick Favors. Probably the only hope I'll have of making it through an entire Jazz season.

 

[BluesRocker]

We have to trade Jefferson. We can't bench him because he'll lose value. Trade him for 1 first rounder if you have to.

 

[BluesRocker]

Damn. Deron Williams and favors would make a nice combo.

 

[bordelais7]

Turk of the game: Enes.

Ideal starting lineup: Favors.

 

[fallenchicken]

Okur and Jefferson can not be allowed on the court at the same time. They move around like soviet tanks.

 

[Qman]

Defensively, our rotations are actually worse than last year.

This isn't a surprise with a new defensive scheme.

 

[billyshelby]

I've been a big defender of Ty, but the entire first half we had Memo/Favors on Batum!!!! We only put our bigs back on Wallace in the second half. I'm at a total loss to understand this strategy.

L'd right the **** O L

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Why even defend Ty Corbin? He probably can't even defend himself. All that jaw jackin'.

 

[bjunior]

Amnesty Okur
Don't play Bell
Trade Jefferson
Fire Corbin

 

[TheDude]

Really impressed with our youngins. Kanter has a nose for the ball, and Favors just seems to be getting better.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

This is a good sign. Maybe instead of owning the pre-season like last year, we will work stuff out, and progressively get better throughout the year instead of worse as time goes on.

 

[Gameface]

If we don't play Derrick Favors 35 minutes a game, I'm going to kill someone.

Please let it be Okur, please, please, please.

 

[Dr. Jones]

This is a good sign. Maybe instead of owning the pre-season like last year, we will work stuff out, and progressively get better throughout the year instead of worse as time goes on.

Well, kudos, there's a positive outlook. Nicely crafted.

 

[Double Negative]

Okur and Jefferson can not be allowed on the court at the same time. They move around like soviet tanks.

this.

 

[billyshelby]

This isn't a surprise with a new defensive scheme.

Of course not. But they're really bad. I would think pros would have bad mistakes mixed in with good defense. We consistently played bad D. It was like watching last year.
