Countdown to Game #1 - Utah Jazz @ Sacramento Kings

[Ellipse]

Not a good shooting game for DM, yet he still scores 24.

Great win! Props to the Kings for showing up and testing us.

I know Burks botched that pass, but this is the best he’s ever looked in his whole career. I can’t believe my ****ing eyes.

No it’s not lol. It was a good game but no where near his best.

 

[JazzForLifee]

Not the best game but I will take the W. just need to play better d. I know we will

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Kings starters played great tonight.

 

[Jack Strop]

Rubio was trash on both ends. Good to see Quin was not afraid to get him out of there. AB played pretty well despite a terrible TO. Gobert was exposed...horribly.

Take 10 of Joe’s points and give em to Ricky and you get a fun (albeit amplified) approximation of the production we’ll get out of our players all year long

Ya that botched pass was the first real mistake on offense or defense i saw from him tonight. Sadly, since his leash is super short, quin went ape **** and i knew that was it for AB.
Great game for every minute he is in and one mistake, thats one too many.

It’s ok Alec’s 100% in the rotation and Quin’s using him well, Alec got lots of minutes tonight

a road win at any team's home opener is a good win...need to play better Friday...

 

[fallenchicken]

Bench looked great. Kings Hacked and played hard. Starters have got to play better but overall we got the win. Exum and Burks being good is exciting and is a huge deal for us. If they continue to play like that it raises the ceiling for our team.

 

[Goodluckchuck]

Not sure why. But Rubio doesn’t look to have much confidence. I don’t remember a player that depends so much on confidence since AK

rubio looks like he has completely reverted and potentially regressed, hes streaky as it gets.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Sacramento sure is a scrappy bunch. They are going to get a lot of internal development from Hield, Fox, and WCS it looks like.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

It's pretty typical of Donovan Mitchell to get his 20+ points the ugly way and us still getting a W. Just speaks for how amazing he is. Most stars have an off night and their team faces the consequences.

Saved By The Bench

 

[candrew]

Typical win against Sacramento - last season 2 of Utah's 3 wins against The Kings were underwhelming to say the least. They almost stole one in Utah late in the season.

WCS had a game like this against Gobert last year - he just has his number I guess.

Rubio might have had his worst game ever as a Jazz player - that's saying a lot considering how he played in the beginning of last season.

This is refreshing to say - Jazz probably would have lost this game without Exum and Burks.

 

[Getting Traded]

Rubio couldn't stay in front of Fox and that was causing the defense to break down, which was the major reason Quin had to put in Exum. He looked about as bad as any game I've ever seen him play. He seemed to lack energy.
