Game Thread Oct 02, 2022 04:00PM MT: Jazz at Raptors (Preseason)

[idiot]

Today was disappointing for the jazz but I have to say this raptor team could be special. That starting lineup is a matchup nightmare and I really like the young guys that they have coming off the bench now. They have length and athleticism everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised to see them at the top of the east this year.

They did indeed look good. And unlike us, they knew how they wanted/needed to play. Eventually made a big difference.

Probably because he wants to set some sort of tone and get w/e his system is down by playing more consistent rotations. Performances in pre-season games arent going to be what makes or breaks a player making the team.

It absolutely will be what makes or breaks a player making this team. I would expect over the next few games that we end up seeing completely different rotations to hopefully give guys a real opportunity to get comfortable for an extended stretch of minutes. At least that is what a good coach would do.

IDK why everyone is so down on THT when I think he might have been the only guard on the team to successfully turn the corner and finish at the rim on a drive.

You think a small sample of a pre-season game is going to beat what they are seeing day in and day out in 2 weeks of training camp?

Will Hardy is a rookie too. An extreme coaching rookie becuase of his age and lack of experience. He's coaching himself right now. He just wants to get his **** implemented probably and isnt interested in making pre-season games a battle for the back end of the roster.

Because I've spent some time recently watching him in games from last year. I was pretty hopeful that he'd be a pleasant surprise. He seemed noticeably heavier, slower, and had less lift today.

I mean are YOU gonna step in front of him?

After watching the game, I’m not so sure we aren’t the worst team in the nba. I’m thinking 15-18 wins. Start Clarkson and play him for 48 min a game.

Was it just me? I swear THT looked like he was 300 pounds. When he first came in I couldn’t figure out who that was. Lol

Sexton has been incredibly unimpressive (yes I know he is returning from injury).

Honestly, I didn't see him do anything today that a young Trey Burke couldn't do. Of course, this is not a jinx.

I think there is a chance Houston is better than us this year just because they have more high end talent. This Jazz roster is a roster of role players.

They're two drafts ahead of us with Jalen Green, Jabari Smith and Tari Eason.
