Random notes while watching game!
First of all, if NBA teams were stocks, I'd be buying Jazz shares. Top quality organization, vibe, coaching, this is a great work put together and under appreciated in the sports world.
D mitch thrown in at last seconds for tip - he doesn't even know why! I can't imagine what he must have been thinking. First time on D he cheats off his man backing into the lane. Not faulting him I play the same way, dare the offender to shoot, make conservative Team D choice and take away the blow by. Got a 3 put in his face. Welcome to the NBA.
First time wide open on O with the ball he passes up the 3 and drives to the rim for the first two sweet free throws of his career, great confidence. He plays conservative, but aggressive. That's his style and this is a rookie? Wow.
Rubio took that charge, no call by the Refs. Jokic is an top notch player, recognized the mismatch and brought it to the attention of the whole team, and got the easy assist.
Hood joins the team on the bench now coming from the toilet, trying his best to look G. Gobert defends Jokic, excellent D, tips out the rebound
D Mitch makes awesome drive to the goal, fakes reverses for his first offensive highlight. What shoes his this guy wearing? Very bland style but looks like the right choice. Ingles missed his very first 3 attempt but has been running the offense and hit his next later.
Burks makes nice first offensive play after coming in.
Jazz go small with JJ at the 4, Denver goes big brings in Plumlee with Jokic, Quin takes a time out. Good time to take one anyway with 2 minutes left in the quarter.
