Game Thread Oct 08, 2023 07:00PM MT: Jazz at Clippers (Preseason)

[homeytennis]

Didn't the great Milt Palacio start over DWill in DWill's rookie season?

 

[rjfan]

The line is LAC -2.0

Do I dare be a degenerate and bet on pre-season?

I guess betting is a sinful act

I'm not really that of a religious guy, but I do believe in my losses when I bet, so usually I'm happy following lord's words for that

 

[SteakNEggs]

9ers and Jazz. Woooooop!

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Do you have a reason for this or just gut feeling? I mean even Don started on the bench. I highly doubt KG starts game one

I'm saying that historically the Jazz would never play three non-spacers together. We haven't done it since the days of Rubio, Favors and Gobert, and back then Favors was moved to the bench. This doesn't mean that Keyonte has to start though. The Jazz could start two out of Sexton, Clarkson and Agbaji.

... aaaaand that's exactly what will happen.

None of these rooks will leapfrog established vets in the rotation.

THT seems to be a cemented starter, as it should be

 

[Jingled]

I know it's just the 1st pre-season game and maybe they're just experimenting with things, but I find it odd they would go back to bringing Clarkson off the bench after the season he had last year as a starter.

Hardy just trying different line ups. Now is the time. He stated it could take 20 games, right? Probably sooner before he sees THT belongs on the bench and George should start.

It will probably end up being THT and Clarkson

Hardy trolling everyone

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Hopefully THT doesn't shoot like 26% from 3pt. That paint is going to be crowded.

Or maybe Sexton and Clarkson.

THT shot 38% in 2023 on spot ups

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

It’s gonna end up being Langford and hauser.

It’s gonna end up being Langford and hauser.

Hauser is on the injury report. We'll have to see that tandem some other night.

 

[rjfan]

I'm expecting a David Stockton and Jimmer Fredette backcourt to start the season

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Clippers are starting: Bones Hyland, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Terrence 'the man' Mann, and Ivica Zubac. So yeah, THT's going to kill them.

 

[Jingled]

Comedy

I just think the spacing with THT/Collins/Kessler all in the starting lineup is going to be too much of a problem.

Is there no pregame show?
