Game 10: Utah Jazz (5-4) @ Detroit Pistons (2-7)

The Pistons are a mess, the Jazz should win this one. Already we're at the 10th trap game of the season...

Jazz is fairly unpredictable... wins vs Clippers and @ Bucks, losses vs Wolves or knicks (although they have a positive record)...

So who knows... we should win, that's for sure, but this is not an automatic win.

Definitely feels like a trap game. The Pistons have talent and are coming off a nice overtime win over Phoenix.

Random observations:

- Jerami Grant has been earning every dollar he got in his new contract.

- Griffin is struggling to get back on track after only playing 18 games last season. Coach Casey rested him for two of the first nine games (the third game he missed was due to concussion protocol). But Coach Casey played Griffin 44 mins in game two and 40 mins in game nine two days ago. Asking for trouble?

- Rose vs. Clarkson off the bench could be interesting. Rose erupted for a career high 50 points against the Jazz two seasons ago.

Pistons ineptitude is helping us..... And we're having a fairly good game on the defensive end, Grant's numbers notwithstanding......

Another awful Game by BB.

Its a "W". At least they flashed how dominant they can be when hitting all cylinders in the first quarter and got it done in the end.

Was really hoping Jerami Grant would sign with Utah even for scraps

Oh well

That was ugly, luckily the Pistons are a pretty bad offensive team and didn't have Rose to go off on the Jazz like he usually does lol.

I just can't figure out what the hell is going on with Bojan. Maybe the wrist acts up unpredictably, or he's just taking himself out of the game mentally by getting so frustrated, but it's really hard to win games when he's out there looking like that. Might as well just run the big lineup with Favors and Gobert if Bogey and Niang are going to keep bricking open 3 after open 3.

Well at least he's not on the Nuggets anymore. They certainly miss him quite a bit.

Jerami Grant, in the playoffs last year, hit 3 three pointers in about 2 minutes....he gets hot.
