Preseason game #4 Portland @ Utah Jazz

[illyasova]

Ok, Kanter and Hayward have shown they can score, but where are the other 65 ppg coming from?

Good question

 

[nateboz]

Favors will NEVER be a dominate Offensive player

 

[Doublea]

Our defense looked really good there.

Biedrins

 

[nateboz]

I still have never seen Gobert play in the preseason. Is he that bad?

No.... biedrins is just too good

 

[fishonjazz]

Love the way gordon finished the half.

Looked good out there.

 

[Doublea]

Liking what I see. A few bad things (obviously). Almost got some points right at the end.

 

[fishonjazz]

The tank is going according to plan.

Starters should be decent, then the bench will come in and lose games for us

 

[CAKAR]

Kanter is playing great offensivly and he is not even in shape jet...

He's raw and lost a lot -- known quantity at draft time.

Well hopefully Burke and Rush can help with that when they come back. Burks and Favors need to get it down.

Opposite of last year.

How has Kanter been scoring? Has it been easy looks created for him by others, or is he showing his offensive game? Gotta love his box score right now (although a few more rebounds would be nice).

Favors...honestly, I think his ceiling may be 13/11/2.5 blocks. That's ok, but offense and Favors don't get along very well.

Somebody asked about where we will get 65 ppg from other than Hayward and Kanter. Sadly, we won't. If Kanter and Hayward combine for 35 ppg, then I think we'll probably be lucky to average 95 ppg.

 

[illyasova]

Pick and pop will be main weapon of Kanter as it seems obviously and PnR must be used for Favors to get involved on offense. Too bad we do not have someone prepares positions for the big men except Hayward. Even Tinsley would be good for this team right now.

What the **** is up with Favors? Talk about a ****ty preseason.... daymn

Jump shots, power moves in, put backs, and openings created by teammates.

Kanter's midrange jumpers make him even more dangerous on offense yet he had some difficulties against Lopez while posting up. Once he finds someone at his size, he's more dangerous on post up. It's more obvious he's gonna be PF and more effective using his power on PFs all day.
