Biggest revelation through 4 games

[fishonjazz]

My biggest takeaway from these first 4 games: The players believe in Snyder more than they ever believed in Ty. This team plays better in 2nd halves than in first halves.

Really, the Jazz have just played some good teams this year. They played Houston pretty much even. After the first 18 minutes against the Mavs, they were pretty much even. They destroyed Phoenix. They played well against the Clips.

And now we get lebron and dirk again in our next two games :-(

Biggest revelation...

Enes Kanter hates pork. I guess I should have known, or at least suspected, but when he said it during one of those "Get to Know Your Jazz Players" segments with Locke I was like, "No Way!"

I knew Muslims and pork don't go together, but I didn't know if it was like Mormons and Mtn Dew, where they don't go together sometimes but other times it's okay. Maybe Enes was afraid his bishop was watching? well I mean the Muslim equivalent of a bishop. Anyways, so I was thinking that Enes gets no ham, no Shake and Bake pork chops, no bacon? Not even Canadian bacon even though it is just ham sliced thin and in circles, but then I realized Enes has never been forced to eat a Hawaiian style pizza with Canadian bacon and pineapple which is certainly a blessing for keeping his standards, because who ever thought that pineapple on a pizza was a good idea? Yuck! And then I wondered how awful Enes, and the other few billion Muslims must think America is because not only do we eat pork, a lot of pork, we even have whacky commercials featuring a nice looking Asian lady wearing bacon on her face in the place of eyebrows. Gag me, that doesn't make me want to eat bacon, it makes me want to puke. And if that is my reaction what are the Muslims thinking? Finally I thought Enes has never had a hot dog, but then I remembered seeing Hebrew National Kosher dogs at WalMart once, certainly they wouldn't have pork, so maybe Enes could have had a hot dog, but can Enes eat Kosher foods?

So I think the final revelation through 4 games is that bacon on your face is a bad idea and never having to pick pineapple tidbits off a pizza is a blessing. Good for you Enes, if you ever want to come over to my house and drink Mtn Dew and watch movies without cussing I'm here for you.

Not to be a wet blanket, as I've been impressed with Gordo to this point, but a couple things are worth mentioning:

2. Gordo's never shot 50% or better from 2. He's a hair under 60% right now. That's not sustainable, even with the added strength.

37% of his FGA are inside 10 feet as opposed to 34% last year.

13% of his FGA are between 11 and the three point line as opposed to 39% (!) last year.

His 2PT percentage should be better than last year (and any other year when you look at it) if that trend continues.

...and you guys thought my comment that the biggest revelation after 4 games is that the Jazz will lose 50 games this year, just like the Lakers and the Knicks? By the way, I love pork! I even chose the "pig valve" over the mechanical valve when I had open heart surgery 10 years ago! Working fine!....and I don't need to be on any medication or blood thinners whatsoever!
