must win

Too late, EST for a preseason game.

I'll probably still stay up and watch because I'm a sicko.

It's a Friday at least.

It's a Friday at least.

And I have to work tomorrow at 6am.
Plus there is a BYU football game starting at 8:15. I won't be watching much of this one.

I'm ready for pre-season to end already. I guess there could be a couple interesting matchups here if Keyonte/Scoot and Walker/Clingan matchup.

 

[KqWIN]

Clingan has been massive inside on both ends so far.

 

[Agent#00]

Terrible offense by jazz.

 

[KqWIN]

POR length bothering the hell out of UTA's offense. Camara+Avdija is a great defensive wing combo. I don't think the Jazz have gotten a single bucket that wasn't an ATO/fast break play yet.

 

[Agent#00]

Portland looks really big

 

[KqWIN]

I thought Scoot wasn't playing, but he straight up got benched now that Simons is back. Interesting.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I like that quick baseline drive by Cody. That looked athletic. Cody is also switching well defensively on the perimeter.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz playing Brice and Cody at the forward spots with Lauri at the 5. Trying to open things up on Portland's packed-in defense.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Blazers' length and athleticism are stifling the Jazz's drives so far.

 

[Agent#00]

Wow lauri blocked 3 times already

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz's lack of precise playmaking being exposed here.

 

[KqWIN]

Lauri can't seal anyone with his body.

 

[The Midnight]

Arena is too damn dark we’re missing all the 3 point shots.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Cody working hard to guard Scoot. Nice block at the rim. Seems like Cody is becoming a higher priority in the rotation than Brice atm.
