I fully expect Lillard's shooting percentages/efficiency to increase this year since he said he worked on cleaning up his shooting mechanics over the summer

He's gotten a lot better at finishing near the rim. So far this year he's looked like an elite finisher, wheras in prior years he'd go in and fall down and not get a whistle.

OK, now that the game is over, I think I under sold the Jazz. They are going to be a tough opponent for teams this year.

Same here. I thought they were going to suck major balls. But that was fucking scary....and they didn't even have 3 of their starters!

He looks like he's put in work on his floater. If he has that shot he's a monster.
 
Ok, I see what Turner brings now. Good stuff it is too. But Dang he needs to figure out how to, not to shoot the ball.

Yeah but we know better than anybody that you can easily whoop them for 3 quarters and fuck it up and lose in the 4th.

Well not really from 28 points up, maybe from 10-12.

It looks it; he's looked really collected and efficient out there.

The Jazz without their best player are a problem.

The Jazz with Hayward....

Let's face it, joe Johnson doesn't and won't have many games like that these days. Good is a great player but also won't have the ball in his hands that much. Golden boy Hayward will be getting touches

that was without our TWO best players, Favors is pretty close to him. 100 year old Joe Johnson is going to be coming off the bench lol

Crabbe and Vonleh are going to make up for your little Evan Turner debacle i think ...

Awesome game, enjoy your season !
 
Take-a-ways:

Dame is the best. Efficiency was on point, only took maybe 2 bad shots the entire game. Is there anything he can do to surprise us anymore?

Vonleh - holy shit. He showed a little bit of everything. Very exciting, albeit one game.

Beibs - Ew.

Harkless was invisible. And I'm one of his biggest supporters. 1 rebound in 20 minutes?

Aminu looked good.

And Crabbe... Hot damn he showed the improvement in his game. Now to watch the counter-attacks on his new improvements...

Agreed on everything except Aminu - he looks exactly the same as last season. A couple of good plays, but overall adds very little to the team. He didn't add anything to his game over the summer, and still has a penchant for making stupid mistakes at inopportune times. Watching him dribble is maddening. I really hope we make the switch to starting Vonleh sooner rather than later, as I think Aminu might fare better against bench players.

Whoa hold up. Aminu is huge for us. He's a great role player.
