This is a fun first game for the Jazz. I'd be happy if we went 1-81 and this was the win.

Whatever the league average was from three last season it appears to be trending up, likely near 2 percentage points which would be huge. A lot of guys so far look more capable and willing than last season.

Damn, Clippers really in Game 7 form. Easily the worst performance from any team to start the season.

Rare occurrence just now. Kessler gets called for a foul and tells the ref "good call".

The Clippers aren't playing any defense and the Jazz are stealing everything.

didn't watch him but caught the last few seconds of the game and saw him limping around the bench while his team was playing in a close game. I can only assume he didn't look great.

Harper is playing like a little kid in a man's game. You ain't 9 year old no mo Dylan. You're a man! Play like one.

Unfortunately the bench is much worse.

Good fight back, but that last possession for Detroit was baaaaad. Terrible ATO.

Take aways though: Stew and Holland look really solid. Duren looks lost outside of pick and rolls. And I have a sneaking suspicion that this is what we'll get from Duncan Robinson on the regular.
