Game Thread Dec 17, 2020: Jazz at Clippers (Preseason)

[framer]

He looked solid... one bad foul. Quin does not trust him with the sex machine yet though.

Put him in at the big boy table right away. That seemed pretty positive.

At least let him run one of the vibrators.

Interesting that Niang hasn't been in the rotation.

31 of 47 shots were 3 pointers in the first half.

Most 3 point attempts in a game under 22 plus years of Jerry Sloan was 26

Anyone listen to Locke on the Dunc'd On podcast for our season preview? He thought that in terms of playing time this year it would go Brantley first, then Oni, then Morgan. Thought that was a hot take...

The adjusted rotation gives Donovan more minutes with Favors instead of being tethered to Gobert. I probably would have stuck with lineups that have proven to work in the past, but I suppose it doesn’t matter much in the end. Rudy against backup C’s is unfair...but I also think you want Rudy against opposing starters more.

Royce really ballin' out there despite just scoring 3 points. 4 assists and a +15.

I'm glad he hasn't.

We are also spending a lot of time in a zone... it’s mostly been not great... but good to see us experimenting.

“Woah, woah, kid! The machine commands respect. You don’t just hit buttons. You must treat it delicately, like breaking a horse. It can take you for a great ride but you just respect it! That’s a vintage 1970s synthetic dildo. It’s not to be toyed with.”

Jazz are looking good.

This offense looks more like what I thought it would last year. Except more threes. And more depth than imagined last year.

I want to say Clippers ORTg is over 200 against the zone with that last 3 by Kawhi, but yeah, nice to see some experimenting. Even if it doesn't work, playing zone can create habits that you don't get by playing "stay home and let Rudy defend everything" defense.

No lie... I had a phone call with a vibrator company today... think I’m going to end up doing some work for them... gonna pitch them on naming their next product the sex machine.

Instead of taking turns shooting floaters, we're taking turns shooting open 3's. Good trade.

 

[jom2003]

Fair to say the tale of Mike Conley floater has died. Don't wanna see that again

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Man I hope we can manage Favors minutes and keep him healthy. Such an improvement over our backup center situation last year.

 

[KqWIN]

This zone is hopeless lol.

You need to get something in there like the QS Sex Machine or the JFC Sex Machine.
