Kings played this like a playoff game and used 8 guys.

kings definitely have playoffs talent and missed playoffs just barely for three straight seasons now
Refs took away 2 easy 3pt shots by the Kings. I'm not one to advocate for easy math in something as complicated and fluid as an NBA basketball game, but those were some pretty big takeaways and momentum shifters in the Jazz favor.
Those three guys are a nice trio. I'm not sure how much confidence I have in everyone else right now though.
Or keep Rudy G.

The Jazz have thankfully cornered the market on Rudys in NBA. It can only be a good thing.

Next move: Rui Hachimura
Needs to be more aggressive, he's been way too passive on offense the last two games.

Man, if we get a fresh Rudy Gay we are going to be unstoppable. The Whiteside addition, alone could take us to the promise land.

Sloan held this franchise back. Nobody wanted to play for him.
Charles Barkley did.

True, and what about the impact on Rudy of the Whiteside acquisition? Check his rebounds and blocks this year - Whiteside is pushing him!
Can’t wait for RG to hit the floor to provide scoring relief when Clarkson and others can’t throw a rock in the ocean.

I do like that we’re 6-1, have played like ****, nobody besides Conley and Ingles can hit a three, we don’t have Gay yet, Donovan just played his first good game, and we’ve withstood whatever TF has happened to Clarkson.

Yeah he’s a little prone to trying too hard when he’s out of sync IMO. A bit of a streak shooter but still contributes with defensive hustle even when he’s slumping.
Still, I wouldn’t mind seeing a little more Butler when Clarkson can’t throw it in the ocean like that.
- Would have been interesting if we hit some of those wide open beautiful 3pt shots in the first quarter. The offense was running beautifully, and we probably should have been up by a lot more.
- Seemed like our energy was lacking a little. My guess is our schedule catches up to us with a bad loss in our upcoming road trip.
- Most of Clarkson's misses looked really bad. He's usually so good at blocking out the misses, but he looks like he's struggling mentally.
All teams are playing hard for the first month or two of the season. To be 6-1 is good, however, our best win of the season is probably at Sacramento. We've avoided any bad losses, but still don't have any great wins yet, IMO.

Whiteside with his signature flex tonight after that and 1 He had.
I'm thinking we need to dub him the nickname "People's Champ".

I think we need to be more balanced. Teams are ignoring our bigs inside and working to run us off the 3 pt line. Whiteside seems to be figuring this out a little more than gobert. I wish our guards tried driving or throwing it inside. To me we feel stagnant a little too predictable.
