October 17th - UTAH JAZZ vs. Los Angeles Clippers (8:30pm MST)

It was not a good idea to give the final ball to the player who is most known and probably easily guessed by the opposition.
 
Gritty effort by the bench.Thought the refs called it pretty interestingly toward the end of the game.
 
I do hope tonight lays rest to the notion that Foye or Burks can be a point guard.

Maybe Burks, but he has a bit of an issue fending off hounding defenders when he's not driving. Plus, he rarely passes when he's driving. Foye just can't run a pick and roll. He's actually pretty good driving and passing off of that, but his reads on the pick and roll are terrible.

That leaves a problem. Given Corbin's history, I don't think he's all that likely to have a three guard lineup (Burks, Foye, PG), so that means Carroll backs up Marvin, and only one of Foye and Burks backs up Hayward.
 
pretty fun game to watch for a preseason game. Clippers really stepped up there defense at the end of the 2nd quarter and in the second half. It took away our running game. Glad that happend in a preseason game so the Jazz know that they aren't going to be able to just run teams off the floor like they did to the Lakers. Sap needs to let his game come to him instead of trying to do it all himself. Liked the way the bench played again tonight. Evans was fun to watch also. Don't think I have ever watch a game that had as many blocked shots as this one.

I just don't see it with Burks either .. other than spot minutes.

That's probably true. Tinsley was really poor out there tonight. Watson is still injured. Foye is certainly useful on a team in a reserve wing role, but not as a PG. Jazz are probably going to struggle when Moe misses games.

Let's sign Bledsoe.

Yes.

NBA teams can dress 13 players for a regular season game. Jazz played ten guys tonight. Three didn't play due to injury. I think that's a clear message on who the 13 the Jazz will dress barring injury during the season. Murphy is not on that list.
