I would have been so pissed had we lost that game. A lot of Jazz players stunk yet we still won, which is encouraging. Also although the season is young we're currently 13th in the league in defensive rating.
So the #30 ESPN ranked team whooped the #6 ranked team. We play a few garbage teams the next 5 games.
I wouldn't be surprised if we're a 4-2 team or better.
Any of you fantasy basketball fans draft any Jazz players? In a head-to-head league I drafted Kyle and Keyonte in rounds 11 and 12 and was going to draft Ace in round 13 (the final round) but someone snagged him!
Cody needs a Jalen Williams blood transfusion.
In a game full of disappointments there were some nice things going on:
Nurkic has a Kelly O impact. I'm pleasantly surprised with his preseason.
If Harkless can improve his offense that'd be nice. He's probably super useful in scrimmage though...
I went to one once while I was in Missouri. The food wasn't bad and the service was good. The food came out surprisingly fast. The staff did look like they came out of central casting but they did their job well.
I like the Rashard Lewis comparison (though Bailey will likely be better than Lewis).
Lewis could get his jumper off, had a nice mid-range game, was a good defender and was athletic - though Ace is more athletic and will shoot more volume than Lewis.
Bailey's dunks were cool but most of his makes weren't easy. He started with some mid-range, had a few contested threes and a nice put-back as well. The drive to the basket scoop was nice too. And those steals were sweet. Ace Bailey turned 19 two months ago - crazy stuff as he played so well...
I will be surprised if The Knicks don't make it to the WCF.
Wednesday seems so far away - I know preseason isn't a great indicator but I'm so excited to see how our guys look.
