Game Thread PRESEASON GAME # 6: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - OCTOBER 19, 2016 - WEDNESDAY, 6:00 PM (PDT) NO TV!

[Driew]

Mason close to a triple double!!

 

[jlprk]

Wow Lillard is a black hole. He only has 2 assists in 27 minutes.
When he said last year he was trying to do in portland that Kobe did in la.
I thought it was to win rings, not forget he has teammates.

When Lillard's FG% goes up, McCollum's goes down.

11 for 16, plus 4 for 12, equals 15 for 28 combined so far.

 

[H.C.]

It looks like there running the offense through Plum with 7 assists

When Lillard's FG% goes up, McCollum's goes down.

11 for 16, plus 4 for 12, equals 15 for 28 combined so far.

I guess I needed to remember green font.

 

[jlprk]

Plumlee is the engine of our team. He fetches loose balls, that is, missed shots from the guards' crazy outside attempts. We lose without him.

I guess I needed to remember green font.

Yep.

 

[Cippy91]

Vonleh>>>>>>

 

[jlprk]

We have to keep Plumlee next summer. Don't let him go.

 

[Trackjack]

The 2nd unit has allow the Jazz back in the game.

 

[Cippy91]

 

[jlprk]

Vonleh>>>>>>

Great to see. Play wild, Noah!

I'm catching up after the debate...What they said earlier in the thread is true. Favors, Hayward, and Burks aren't playing so we should win. But this gives an opportunity to play our subs so maybe we won't.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Pat. Go. Play. Baseball....

EDIT: I don't mean it in a negative way. You can kick more ass at baseball!

 

[Trackjack]

3rd string in and doing decent job so far have increase the lead since being in.

 

[jlprk]

The Jazz sat Favors, Hood, Burks, and Hayward last night and do not look like they are playing them Wednesday either.

What I am most curious about is seeing, is how Stotts plans to defend Hood and Favors on opening day.

Hood at 6'8" is not an ideal match up for CJ and Favors is not the ideal match up for Aminu.
Does he alter the starting line up for that game, maybe start Crabbe vs Hood and Davis vs Favors? ....assuming Favors will be back by then?

Hood started so McCollum has 5 fouls.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Wheels. Gotta love him. Wish I had met him....

 

[jlprk]

When I started watching in the 3rd quarter, no one had more than 2 fouls except McCollum, 4. Now, he and Vonleh have 5. I don't care. Loosen up and play like a wild man, Noah!

 

[ripcityboy]

Pat. Go. Play. Baseball....

Well. He's got to do better than Tim Tebow. But I doubt he ever makes it to Norfolk.

Pat...... befriend Andrew Miller. That will help! The slider is your friend.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Hood started so McCollum has 5 fouls.

Yeah but Hood also started out 1-6

 

[jlprk]

I want to start a front line of Ezeli, Plumlee, and Vonleh. With no foul limit.

 

[Trackjack]

This gives us winning preseason with this win. But we only had 8 attempts on the free throw line they had 23. Either we aren't aggressive on offense or just don't get calls. Well ET play better tonight with Dame and Plum. Third unit came in and decent job. Napier in short span had 3 turnover but shot the ball decent.

 

[jlprk]

Yeah but Hood also started out 1-6

Trying to figure out why Quin Snyder threw the fight. How can I check the bets at the Salt Lake City casinos.

 

[jlprk]

This is bullcrap! I made the game thread for nothing. Not even a crappy stream?

It was all Trackjack! Next time he starts the thread!

 

[jlprk]

An 8-game preseason used to feel too short, and teams went into the regular season out of shape and with no defense installed. Now a 7-game preseason feels too long, because our team practices a month early for free. Players used to be overpaid, but less so, so they wouldn't give the boss a free month of labor. Maybe the player's union used to be more proactive.

Why, oh why, does the NBA suck so badly? First, they deny us the opportunity to watch this critical NBA preseason match-up, then when I go to their piece-of-shit web site, I get to see three measly highlights - all of the Jazz, all within a 1:35 span of the 1st quarter. NBA Action - It's Craptastic!!!

If they don't even care about their product, why do they expect us to?

The league considers us when making decisions regarding scheduling and online content? When the hell did this happen?!

I want to see the Plumlee jumpers....one from 19 feet (per the play by play on ESPN)

Love his expanding game. He keeps getting better. Get the extension done now.

 

[dviss1]

Plumlee hits a 17 footer. Then he does a reverse dunk on a BULLET from CJ.

The caption says:

"Get you a man that can do both."
