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

[orangello]

Kanter with a double double!!

You beat me. Good work.

Why hasn't Murphy played?

Probably because he missed a couple of days of practice. I'll bet he's very raw in terms of knowing the offensive plays and defensive sets.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Kanter with a double double... !

Making me hungry for In 'N Out!

 

[Wham!]

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.

Calling it. Foye = Howard/CJ

Ha

 

[spycam1]

Kanter is kinda destroying...

 

[Basketball_Romantic23]

Kanter may have a better season than Favors this year... Bitter Sweet

 

[billyshelby]

It seems like the GSW starters cannot create seperation with our bench guys.

They have 2 starters in the game. As in, 2 actual starters, not the starters of this game.

I know. I don't understand why they don't run some pick and roll with him.

 

[Basketball_Romantic23]

... Enes the menace...

 

[BYE]

That last play was Kanter, Kanter, Kanter.

 

[Siro]

You guys are so impressionable it's almost surreal.

Calling it. Foye = Howard/CJ

Always kind of struck me that way...

 

[BYE]

It sounded like Kanter was dominating a little! Which he should do!

 

[orangello]

You guys are so impressionable it's almost surreal.

Let us enjoy our night. Tomorrow you can start with all of this.

 

[NUMBERICA]

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.

Calling it. Foye = Howard/CJ

This scares me... But i think Foye will prove to be better.
