Favors vs Gobert. Time to see if Favors is better as Manny has trolled

[Xiao Yao You]

Gobert/Conley carrying them. Same story different year

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Things haven't changed much in the short 2 month off-season. Jazz are still the best reg season team in the league and thunder are still the worst reg season team in the league. Only question is can jazz prove it in playoffs

[Xiao Yao You]

double double for Gobert with 8 minutes to go in the first half :cheers:

[Callystarr]

Hassan had some great minutes, Quin actually let the rookie in....very pleased.

I have been so hard on Jordan Clarkson, he has come back as a better decision maker, and more effort on Defense. Donovan....better defense. I am pleased to see the efforts on D.

probably not. Same coach. Same 6th man. Same Mitchell

[Callystarr]

Their defense is already very different. Not depending on Rudy and Hassan to stay in the paint....guarding more Mano y Mano when that happens....holding accountable perimeter defenders. So not sure how you came up with that conclusion

Clarkson needs to go. It's time for Butler

Well I definitely want to see Butler. Love this guy....but I'll give credit where its due. Clarkson has come back with a different maturity on both ends.

sure he has! If you remember he started last year shooting 50/40/90 before sucking most of the year.

[Callystarr]

Mitchell gets on my nerves, 5th year and he still is like the poorest high usage decision maker in the league

[Callystarr]

I actually don't care about his shooting...I care about better shot decisions, and better defense. ..... and its noticeable.

and too tired to play D. Why is it that Gobert, Conley and O'Neale can go hard at both ends?

I care. When the worst shooter leads the team in 3's it's a problem

It's a new year. Butler needs to play more....I think he has far better ceiling than Jordan but you now Quin isn't going to make that happen.

Hopefully Zanik will. Too bad Butler didn't go to Duke

[Callystarr]

Maybe Zanik will see need to play Butler, and will move on someone. Butler needs to be playing.

[Xiao Yao You]

20 rebounds early 4th!

[Xiao Yao You]

iso stop!

Let's go Rudy

[Xiao Yao You]

COTY refusing to pull his guys as usual with a huge lead

Ingles doing his thing
