Pre-season Game 1: Utah Jazz vs. GS Warriors, Mon Oct. 8th 830 MT

Jazz need to stop trying to force Favors to play the same offensive game as Al. He just isn't a great back to the basket player.
 
Not sure what the point is here...that's 54 mins. Through 3 quarters, there should be 36 mins at the 5. So for half of the remaining mins, they also had a guy > 6'10" at the 4 (a Lee/Ezuli tandem?). Jazz play an undersized Millsap at the 4, but have three guys > 6'10" in Favors, Kanter and Jefferson. Sounds like it should favor the Jazz: Lee and 2 scrubs vs. our Super 4.

They played small ball. Kanter was never matched up against anybody with length. Ezeli only played the first 7 minutes of the first half. Lee played a lot, but he's a statue on D. Same with Biedrins. On the flip side, our starting bigs did little against them. But regular season, you won't see GS or any team play that small a lineup.
 
And I've always felt that once Kanter got his confidence back, his head on straight, and his feet under him, he will be a very good player.

We'll see where that goes from here. But if you're not encouraged by tonight you're being a naysayer just to be one.
