Ricky and Wiggs look already tired before tip off.

Purely speaking from a basketball enthusiast's view, the Jazz play a beautiful brand of basketball. I should watch them more.

As badly as Ricky missed his last attempt, the very fact that he takes heat check threes is a great sight. Period.

Dieng needs to shoot when hes wide open, not hesitate and throw your teammate under the bus.

Dieng has hesitated all his life and it leads to his constant travelling calls. Hurts his shooting too, and he's gotten to be a decent shooter. I just wish he'd block somebody....anybody...out!!

Similar to the Spurs, it requires a lot of unselfish players willing to make that extra pass. George Hill is leading their team with only slightly more than 4 assists per game. That should tell you something. Even taking into account their slow pace of play.

Dieng doesnt know how. Much like kat, they try to outjump people for rebounds.
Time to bring oakley in as an assistant.

It's weird that for all this talk about teaching fundamentals going back to last season, there's very little to show for when it comes to boxing out, setting proper screens and defending the pick & roll. Either the talk has been hot air or the young players are very slow to learn. And I mean really slow.

Hard to believe that at one point that there was small chatter of exum going first in that 2014 draft.

Rush and casspi just need to let it fly, they can't be passing up shots when they are on the floor.

Jazz players are able to apply so much ball pressure because they know they have bigs that will cover them.

Teams can just get picked apart with how Rubio is looking for his offense.
