The Analysis
The Jazz are outmanned again in every category. The Sixers are weak at the PG and Bigs, so offensively we need to attack them there. Our Wings will have a tough job stopping Igoudala, Turner, and Meeks, who have all had positive starts to the year. This is the home opener, the Jazz should play with more energy than the past two games.
Who to watch on the Sixers:
Igoudala: Off to a monstrous start of the season. Our wings have been on rollerskates defensively. Be prepared for some punishment on CJ Miles and Raja Bell
Holiday: Holiday, like Harris, has rather under-performed to start the season.
Who to watch on the Jazz:
Burks: He had a decent statline against the Nuggets. However, it came in worthless garbage time. Can he play good when he isn't going against the scrubs of the NBA?.
Watson: Improved slightly during the Nuggets game, but he only has an offensive rating of 30, which is probably worst in the league. Harris clearly isn't on cue at the moment, we need Tinsley or Watson to step it up, big time.
(To put Watson's offensive rating into perspective: Players like Flynn and Price scored in the 70s last season, which is really poor)
