Dame is sitting again, but Moe Harkless is back according to Casey Holdahl. The Heartless one will be limited to about 20 minutes it seems like.

Nice ball movement right now. Meyers had a nice pass to Plumlee who finally showed off his alley-opping prowess.

Looking at thier jazz team and they are the NAB darlings to make the POs this season. Everyone and their mom is penciling them into the 7th/8th seed. I personally don't think it is a done deal.

Having a starting PG is important theses days, that they don't have.

Dang look much better without Dame this game.

Jazz will probably leapfrog the Mavericks I feel. It largely depends on Wesley's achilles recovery.

Meyers is looking good.

Can't express how much I love Noah.

I just don't see how a starting 5 of Burke Burks Hayward Favors and Gobert has the fire power to keep up with teams in the West.

Also Ed.

They don't need firepower to get into the 7th or 8th seed. Their defense is elite. They will feast on eastern teams and most if not all of the lower western conference teams. There's going to be some of the mid-level western teams they can stifle as well. Losing Exum hurts, yes, and Burke is.. not.. the best... but if Gobert can keep guards out of the paint or deter enough shots then all Burke has to do is make sure to not let them be wide open for threes (at least defensively). They can hide him and put Hayward or Burks on the other guard.

Updated the thread title to reflect this being on tv. It's on channel 444 on comcast, which is one of the league pass channels. Free during preseason. Obviously Utah broadcast. Enjoy.

Noah has a real nose for the ball, only Ed has more Offensive rebounds than him and only Harkless (1 game) has a better net rating.

Crazy but he might be our best Big man by the end of the season.

He has loads of potential. He's only 20. I wasn't ecstatic about the trade initially, but I love it now. I miss Nico, but I see a bright future for Noah. His nose for the ball plus his willingness to play defense combined with his physical numbers..

Can't pass though.

So much for Meyers having too slow a release to shoot 3s. Looks much quicker.

Maybe, but even the Pelicans were good on offense. I am not saying they can't make it, just don''t think it is a lock like everyone seems to.

Weird they had Gobert on Meyers, they think he can't shoot from 3?

GreenRiddler · Post #16 » by **GreenRiddler** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 1:56 am

Tough night for Gobert/Favors so far.

Post #17 » by **The Sebastian Express** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 1:57 am

Aminu is awkward with the ball but he can put it on the floor a bit, so that's nice.

GreenRiddler · Post #18 » by **GreenRiddler** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 2:00 am

Plumlee what are you doing buddy? :nonono:

Masterfully · Post #19 » by **Masterfully** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 2:04 am

Plumlee... Every time he touches the ball he feels the need to dribble and every time he dribbles something bad happens. Just no, bro.

Great pass by Plums earlier.
