[QUOTE]"Our versatility has allowed us to make changes," Conley said. "Guys are unselfish about it: 'If it's not my night, I'm out — someone else come in for me.' That's been huge."

nice to have a coach that's willing to make changes!

[QUOTE]For the Pelicans, the return of Zion Williamson has made them look like a sleeping giant. Williamson adds a dynamic element to their offense that will make stopping them really difficult. When you combine Williamson with the emergence of Herb Jones, this Pelicans team deserves contender status. Brandon Ingram is also playing at another level to start the season. In the Pelicans’ last two games, Ingram is averaging 28 PPG while shooting 54% from the field and 60% from three. Those numbers aren’t sustainable, but there’s it’s clear he is becoming one of the premier small forwards in the league.
[/QUOTE]
Zion has been a horrible defender in the past. Let's not get carried away yet
[QUOTE]There have been a few outliers for this Jazz team that have helped them win their last two games. In their overtime win of the Wolves, Olynyk finished the game shooting 5/6 from three which won’t likely continue all season. They also got a 4/6 3-pt shooting night from Rudy Gay in their win over the Nuggets. Maybe that will be the story of the season for this Jazz team where they see certain players have big nights or maybe those are numbers that make the record a little deceptive. A win against the Pelicans would mean the Jazz need to be taken a little more seriously.
[/QUOTE]
would mean Ainge and Zanik have a lot of work to do

[QUOTE] At one point it looked like Cleveland’s home opener was going to be a celebration — 19,432 rowdy fans clad in white waiving towels. Perhaps even a Mitchell coronation — the new king of Cleveland basketball. [URL="https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2022/10/donovan-mitchell-laments-disaster-of-fourth-quarter-apologizes-for-late-game-turnovers-despite-another-historic-night.html"]“It felt like a playoff game. That was nuts,” Mitchell said of the energy inside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. “Then we had the intro, that was crazy. There were just segments throughout the game where I caught myself smiling a few times.[/URL] I’m trying to lock in, but I’m just looking around like, ‘Holy s—.’ The crowd’s electric. I heard about it. I’ve played here, but I don’t think I ever heard it like that. Actually, I came to a Finals game in ‘16 and that’s when I heard it like that. But to be on this side of it and to hear the crowd just going nuts, it’s incredible.”

[QUOTE]Or what about Markkanen looking like Kevin Durant on his way to a 20-point half? Or Jordan Clarkson morphing into not just a capable facilitator, but a darn good one? Or an errant pass that looked to be a sure turnover turning into Clarkson's game-tying 3-pointer in the final minute of regulation.

[QUOTE]Beasley and Sexton played a total of eight seconds in overtime as coach Will Hardy showed a willingness to play the hot hand night-to-night to give his team the best chance to win.

why was Clarkson still in the game then?
[QUOTE]Yes, the Jazz ended up crushing the Nuggets in the season opener, but Denver could have easily coasted to blowout victory after taking a 17 point second quarter lead. Tip your hat to the Jazz for the comeback, but don’t bet on that happening often.

they couldn't have. Jazz played harder

that's what happens when you can't shoot
[QUOTE]On Monday the Jazz will play their first back-to-back game. They’ll be on the road in Houston to finally play a game they are actually favored to win. The Jazz are a one-point favorite against the Rockets. The way things are going right now, it seems like the Jazz should be favored a bit more than that against a Rockets team that’s 0-3 on the season, but I’m not one of the oddsmakers.

back to back. First loss of many to come
[QUOTE]If you’re a Jazz fan, you have to be having fun right now.
[/QUOTE]
but is Danny having fun is the question? I'd be good with this team if it wasn't for the shit show that is Clarkson
[QUOTE]On top of hitting the game-tying shot that sent this one into overtime and some other big shots in the extra period, Clarkson made one of the best defensive plays of the game. Trailing a full-steam-ahead Zion Williamson, Clarkson went up for a block that sent Williamson to the ground and it was a powerful and clean, all-ball block.
[/QUOTE]
no mention of Clarkson taking a bad shot and it getting blocked led to his block though

League sources say that [URL="https://www.theringer.com/nba/2022/10/24/23420309/russell-westbrook-los-angeles-lakers-trade"]before the Jazz sent Bojan Bogdanovic to the Pistons, the Lakers offered Westbrook, a future first-round pick, and second-rounders for Bogdanovic and others.[/URL] Sources expect the Lakers and Jazz to resume talks later in the season with some combination of other players discussed. (Utah has Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, and Rudy Gay—three veterans who can all shoot.)
