For a preseason game, this was a nice win for the Jazz. The Jazz had too many turnovers but they hung in there albeit against the second unit. Last year the Jazz got blown out after winning their first preseason game. I thought the starters played too long but perhaps Quin is wanting the starters to get more experience running his offense.
Jazz were sloppy during the game especially Hayward, Kanter and Favors. Trey looks light years better than last year. The best thing about Trey is that he isn't afraid to take the big shot. Not only isn't he afraid but the majority of times he makes them.
Love.. did I say love the balance from the starters.
Just want people to realize that Exum is SOO.. YOUNG and inexperience. I think he is playing the perfect role off the bench. 20 minutes a game is just about right. As the season goes and he gets more comfortable, he will be great. It is going to take a few years for his body to be NBA ready.
I was surprised how many guys didn't play last night. Despite Lillard not playing and the Jazz playing their starters longer than Portland it is still nice to see all the positives. When was the last time the Jazz got #1,#2, #4 of the top 5 highlights on NBA. NEVER, heck when have they ever shown three Jazz highlights.
All our starters had good game minus the turnovers. Now the Jazz need to get the bench going. I think Booker and Gobert are a part of that rotation. I am hoping that Hood is going to show he can play well off the bench. Novak is going to be a situational guy. Jazz are going to need to strength their bench. Hopefully Hood and someone else steps up.
