Well, I saw most of the 2nd half on free NBA preview TV and here's what I saw! First, the good. Donavan Mitchell had probably the best game I've seen him play EVER! Was totally under control, shot a high percentage, actually looked like a 10 year veteran out there, and hit every big shot we needed to win this game! Our defense man to man seemed quite good in the 2nd half as well. The bad? I didn't recognize this Jazz team compared to last year in both style on offense and ball movement! There just didn't seem to be any and the 15 assists we were credited with seemed to be very generous! It was obvious even to the most casual observer that we missed Rubio big time! The last 20 games last year we averaged between 25-30 assists and our offense was a joy to watch! I suspect we will play better next game and our offense should flow smoother. The Ugly? Our 3 point shooting and Connelly were horrendous! Lets hope Connelly never shoots 1-16 again, even if given a blindfold to start the game! But were 1-0 and off to the races!
