Jazz fought hard and lost a close one to a potential NBA finalist contender without Burke or Hayward or Favors playing particularly well. I think you have to consider this loss a moral victory. The other thing I like about this young team is that they seem to play pretty well on the road.
The most glaring thing that bothered me was our team defense. A lot of times Burke was getting picked off and Kanter would slide over but no one would cover for Kanter. Other times Burke's play ole' defense. Favors lets his fouls get in his head and then he plays horrible on both ends. Another big problem is consistency, which isn't a shock considering how young this team is. Jazz definitely need to hit two home runs in this draft. They need a superstar and a very good player with their GS pick.
