There is a game tonight, isn't there? Anyone know who is out with injuries besides Durant?

Hope there is at least an online stream to be found. It's frustrating the team won't even throw it on their site like a scrimmage when no stations pick up the game. How hard is it when they are already recording the game for coaches to review?

There's been a stream for all the other games, even the unbroadcasted Portland one, so there should be one tonight. I'm totally with you though, this is the year 2014, time to start broadcasting every game, because there is no reason not to.

They say road games bond teams and BOY the Jazz have had their share of road games this pre-season. Maybe one too much. Lets hope we continue to play well but fatigue has to be an issue, and players often get injured when fatigued. I like the fact that Hayward, Favors, and Trey played little to no minutes the last game, and as a fan I want to watch them play tonight but it maybe best for them to play limited minutes again tonight.

Our first unit does need to play together as Alec was out awhile.

Friends, Utahns, Jazz fans and Aussies......you can watch every game on here. Living far from Utah, this is the only way I get to see most games. Enjoy!

Happy for Kanter finally putting together a really good game. Also, Trey Burke is the truth. Last year, Trey's mind was going 100 miles an hour while his body was moving in slow motion. This year, it's the exact opposite. The game has slowed down for him, but he's playing a lot quicker out there.

Interesting thing to see was how our starters were killing the Thunder at the beginning of the game. But then the subs came in and the Thunder went on a huge run. Quin quickly put Alec and Enes back in and they immediately stopped the bleeding. I wonder if he's contemplating bring Alec and/or Enes off the bench to provide a scoring punch for the 2nd unit. Our bench as of now is pretty thin as far as scoring goes. I wouldn't mind Alec and Enes coming off the bench at all if they still got 30+ minutes a game. I'm all for a more balanced rotation.

Is Kanter showing me up just because I said I'd trade him for Olynyk?

Yes. I like Olynyk, but anyone who is so enthusiastic about trading Kanter for Olynyk is straight up on dope.

Gordon with 4 steals (so far) tonight, maintaining his preseason steals lead (nearly 3/game).

Enes is flat-out balling tonight. Looks really good on offense.

Post #18 » by **StocktonShorts** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 2:27 am

Burke is averaging about 17 ppg and 6 assists per game this preseason while shooting over 50% from three.

Jazz starters played real well, especially Kanter and Trey. Nice to see Kanter play with confidence. Trey has improved a lot since last year. The Jazz shot poorly but Jazz defense allowed virtually no fast break points and played good defense. Difference in the game was incredible offensive rebounding by the Jazz. Jazz bench played poorly and scored little but Gobert played good defense and rebounded well, while everyone else on the bench sucked. Exum and Clark were a disaster tonight.

Back up PG going to be interesting as Exum is (as expected) is totally inconsistent while Ian Clark has played well most pre-season except sucked tonight. Play Exum to develop him or play Clark or trade for a veteran PG. Trey gets hurt and we lose a lot of games.

A couple of guys were cold, but overall I think you've got to give the pre-season an "A", The Jazz look good for the coach they picked and for not changing the young core while adding Exum and Hood. The Spurs don't make blockbuster trades, so it is hard for me to imagine the Jazz doing it. This is an organic rebuild.
