The bear on stilts golfing was fucked up too.

LOL

 

[BonesJones]

Funny that @BonesJones disappears when Hezonja starts hitting shots!

Where you at Bones?

3zonja!

Oh look at this

 

[hoopsjock]

Oh look at this

You know I'm just fucking with you right?

 

[tiredhunter]

LOL

I just wish he rotated his hips enough to get off a real swing, and proceeded to fall on his ass because the long lines threw 'im off balance.

 

[Driew]

Moses with the short shorts hahaha

 

[B-Roy]

Sign Moses and start him for Whiteside.

 

[blazerfan11]

Oh look at this

Let's keep it real. Last season Mario Hezonja had an eFG% of .457 That is AWFUL. Evan Turner's eFG% was .473 last season. Hezonja shot 27.6% on threes last season. Of course I hope he's much better than that.

 

[hoopsjock]

Someone should probably tell Simons and Trent that they have teammates.

Jazz color guy must be watching his first nba game ever...

Skal minus 10 plus/minus

So I wasn’t able to watch the stream, but it looks like no one played any defense for both teams and weird seeing the Jazz with little assists

He can do this all the time. It means we never have to see them.

I knew it was a player. Didn't know if was Harpring. Doesn't really matter though. When he said "barring a miraculous comeback" I glanced at the score and the time and there would have been very little miraculous about it. It would have been an NBA game. That's it. He should know better.

2nd half was lot better play by both units. We definitely going be able to score the ball. Zach went 6-6 from the field plus hit a 3 nice showing. Dame and CJ in mid form. Whiteside did a good job on the boards until he roll his ankle. The 2nd had over 35 points tonight good to see.

We did a better job in the 2nd half.

 

[blazerfan11]

What I got from this game is that Whiteside looks lazy but if you get too close to him (especially other big men) and relax he'll grab the ball out of your hand. He surprised Gobert a few times, who seemed to be more concerned about getting the shot over Whiteside. All the highlights I've seen of Whiteside showed his shot-blocking but he showed he can do more than that in his one-on-one defense.

He's just looking at his sheet of cliches.

Nice to get a W.

 

[tlongII]

Meh. Preseason.

Meh. Preseason.

Don't bother clicking on the thread then.

 

[AldoTrapani]

1st half: 2nd unit looks awful

2nd half: 2nd unit looks unstoppable

I was here screaming how awful they looked but man I hope they can keep it consistent

 

[AldoTrapani]

Zach looks so much more composed. Look out league. MIP?

Mann his little baby jumper looks money now. If he can hit that all season at a good clip we’ll be really dangerous

 

[Pinwheel1]

Let's keep it real. Last season Mario Hezonja had .........

Exactly lets keep it real...it was last season. Some of you are too caught up in stats from previous years. That is fine for old vets but how often does that line of thinking blow up in our faces when we are talking about young players who are still improving. The answer is ....pretty much every year.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Wows that was Nasty Mr Simons. taking it right at Conley.

I really enjoyed that match up.

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

Whiteside needs to recovery fully now and be ready for the season

I think this is one area where Whiteside will make a difference just by being on the court. The defense will track him to the hoop leaving Collins open for that money mid-range shot. As long as he's making those I hope they keep passing him the ball when he's open.
