Jazz vs Clippers: Round 2

[TheStormofWar]

I know it's only pre-season, but I love how this roster is willing to fight. If they keep that, they will be better than any "expert" thought they would be.

This is going to be a fun season.

Blake's a wuss. It was just a hard foul and Booker tried to keep him from falling after the foul. Booker would kick his ***.

Also note that Exum is going left here which is largely considered his biggest weakness. It certainly took the Clippers by surprise. . .

I think that took everyone by surprise.

I'm sure everyone has said this multiple times but I just finished watching the game and I love that we got to see how our team did against a GOOD team that is playing like it normally would in the regular season. Doc went all out to win that game and we were going blow for blow with them.

Here is a quote from Bleak Griffin, I think I typed it right, you can check the original here.

After the game, Griffin was asked if it was difficult to keep things from escalating. Standing behind Chris Paul, and wiping tears from his eyes Griffin stammered, “I was going to (take things further), and I thought, ‘It’s preseason. It’s not worth it. That’s not the person I’m going to waste it on."

He looked like he was ready to kiss Booker for a second there.

Wish I could see Booker and Griffin go at it in a back Alley. Griffin acts so tough on the court (when he's not busy whining like a little girl). Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want to meat up with him in a back alley. He's got 10 inches and 60 lbs on me, but I think Booker would tear him apart.

dude, nobody is tearing anybody apart. at the end of the day they are grown man. usually whoever gets hit will get KTFO. it's silly that we bash griffin for not standing up for himself, but when he does we call him a sissy. i'm just being real.

22/6/4/6 tonight. Only negative was 5 TO's.

Haterz gonna hate, but I was never worried about his shooting not returning to his historic 45%/38% range.

Yeah me too. Take off the pressure from him and he will shoot even better as the season unfolds.

well he did finish with right. but loved the mentality.

Griffin needs to be suspended for a game.

Yep, because the center moved to take away his dribbling hand leaving the right hand finish the proper choice. Just a tremendous play.

Lol this is why players don't want to come off the bench because fans like you have this mindset that coming off the bench means you aren't good enough to be a starter.

I think most players just want to start.

When i played basketball all throughout my childhood and into my 20's everyone that i ever played with (myself included) wanted to start...... and we didn't even have any fans to influence our desire to start.
Starting > not starting in almost every players eyes....... in any sport at any level

He had some great stretches like that last year. I'm optimistic, but cautious.

Are you cautiously optimistic?
