[Natebishop3]

What's up with NBA.com not letting you screenshot? It's always black.

 

[Chris Craig]

Grant have a reb yet this season?

0

I don't think he has attempted to get one.

 

[James lamphear]

Nice half for Simons and Sharpe and walker. Grant got going late in the quarter. But we getting outscored by 13 from the free throw line so that's so there difference right there. But we only 9 assists that half that's has to improve we will in the second half.

 

[Quatro44]

The starters have 3 rebs in first half

 

[illmatic99]

I'm really not convinced that Thybulle is that great of a defender.

Think he'll be more effective when Rob is behind him. Otherwise his reaching and gambling is innefective compared to someone who can just solidly keep their guys in front of them

I hope so.

 

[Natebishop3]

Never watched little kid basketball before..... nobody dribbles? lol

And with Brogdon on the floor.

Little kids play better than this.

 

[Mr. Robot]

scoot is a bust if ever there was one, 2-9 in a pre-season game

 

[BigGameDamian]

The starters have 3 rebs in first half

Utah starters have 17.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I think Duop is better than Moses.

But he CHUCKS SO MUCH.

 

[riverman]

Ant has shot well but we're still down double digits at half

 

[illmatic99]

Im convinced our defense encourages open corner threes. Only explanation.

 

[riverman]

Ant got his first assist in the 3rd qtr

 

[Natebishop3]

Am I crazy or is THT chunky?

 

[Quatro44]

I know right

 

[illmatic99]

Ant got his first assist in the 3rd qtr

His gravity has created a bunch of looks even if he doesnt have assists

 

[blazerkor]

Am I crazy or is THT chunky?

He's not skinny but he's also not out of shape.

 

[Natebishop3]

His gravity has created a bunch of looks even if he doesnt have assists

That's what Marang was talking about last night. Simons/Ayton is going to help Scoot and the others.

 

[Cugel]

Ant is killing it tonight. Best players on the floor are Ant and Lauri.

 

[Quatro44]

Another corner three… for the Jazz

 

[illmatic99]

Thybulle just making so many blunders on defense. Leaves his man on the corner again. Complete miscommunication on defense.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Will we lead the league again in corner threes allowed? At some point the coaches need to take responsibility for this.

 

[beast blazer]

I think we just a pair of forwards that are much better rebounders. Grant would be ok as a SF, but pairing him with a guy like Thybulle....

 

[illmatic99]

Goddamn get a stop

 

[B-Roy]

Sick pass by Scoot. Wooo

 

[Quatro44]

Scoot draws double and kicks to Grant for open three, that’s some nice playmaking

 

[B-Roy]

My question for this season: are we gonna be 29th or 30th on defense?

 

[illmatic99]

Lmao scoot gets hit 8 times, no foul.

Scoot breathes on Sexton, whistle.

Welcome to life as an nba rookie.

 

[blazerfan11]

Sharpe is tough to defend when he gets some space.
