Neto was the only one on the team who hit 3 pointers and was 3-6 overall. If Hood shooting 0-7 from 3 was the bigger issue in the game, as well as Burks missing a few jumpers he should probably be hitting if he wants to be a really dangerous player. Still early days though.

[QUOTE]Now Booker is ready to step up and step back onto the court.
The 6-foot-8 lefty put together a nice week of practice before heading out on the road trip, glad to finally be rid of the protective mask he'd had to wear for the past month.
"It's sitting right over there," he said one day, pointing to the bleachers inside the Jazz's practice facility. "Think we're going to have a burial ceremony for it later."
Just before the start of training camp, Booker broke his nose in a pickup game. He needed surgery. He was fitted for a mask, but it was a nuisance, obstructing his vision every time he shot and every time he tried to do the dirty work the Jazz have come to expect from him.
"We missed his energy, his rebounding," Snyder said Thursday, ticking off the ways Booker might have helped in Detroit. "He manages to do a little of everything to help you win."
On Friday night, he'll actually be back in the arena to do it.

More importantly only 7 NBA players. :cry:
[QUOTE]A knee contusion kept Raul Neto out of action during the team's practice Thursday on the campus of Temple University. He is listed as questionable to play Friday against the 76ers.[/QUOTE]
Kind of expected that.
[QUOTE]The Brazilian point guard was injured in an awkward fall during Wednesday's season opener at Detroit. In the second quarter, Neto contested a shot and fell to the ground. He lay there for a while, clutching his knee in pain before limping off the court under his own power.
"He scared me for a minute there," forward Joe Ingles said.
Neto was able to return to play in the second half of that 92-87 defeat, which gives Jazz coach Quin Snyder hope that the injury won't be a long-term issue.
"I'd leave that to our trainers and doctors to make that determination," Snyder said when asked if the injury was serious. "I hope not. Based on the fact that he was able to go back in the game, maybe that's an indicator, although you never know."
[/QUOTE]
Shouldn't have been in the game if it was serious! :wtf:

Stockton should have as well as Deron.
[QUOTE]Neto scored eight points and dished out three assists in the 92-87 defeat. He played 26 minutes; Utah's other point guard, Trey Burke, played 15.

[QUOTE]The elder Raul Neto loved to watch his favorite NBA player, John Stockton, suit up for the Utah Jazz.
When his son's name was announced to a chorus of boos here Wednesday night, Raul Neto had done something Stockton didn't do: He started a season opener as a rookie.
Neto, 23, became the first Jazz rookie to start a season opener since Luther Wright in 1993 and the first Jazz point guard to start as a rookie since Duck Williams in 1979.

After Hayward's go-ahead bucket, Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson put Detroit back on top with 17 seconds left on the clock. From there, Burks missed an open look that would have given Utah a one-point lead. And Jazz shooting guard Rodney Hood had his arm hit by Detroit's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as he released a 3-pointer to tie the game, but no foul was called.
"I've been a part of them plays a lot," said Hood, who had 12 points but went 0-for-7 from 3-point territory on the night. "It could go either way. He contested the shot. They won the game.

[QUOTE]In a back-and-forth battle, the Detroit Pistons held off the visiting Jazz in the closing seconds.
If this season opener was any indicator, the 2015-16 Utah Jazz campaign should be one exciting, eventful season. With the Jazz visiting the Detroit Pistons, the game featured two teams looking to change their long-term fortunes. In a hard fought game, the Pistons came out on top 92-87.
Why the Jazz lost: Utah managed to stay right with Detroit for much of the evening on the road. But in a tight game, the little things stick out a bit more. The Jazz struggled from the perimeter, missed some crucial free throws and committed some defensive mistakes. Detroit made some key plays in the fourth quarter, capitalizing on Utah

[QUOTE]Trey Burke's Michigan homecoming was a disappointment. In Detroit, not far from where he was a college star, the Jazz point guard found himself scoreless and stuck to the bench for much of the Jazz's season-opener. But the third-year pro brushed it off and bounced back on Friday night, scoring 10 points and handing out six assists to help the Jazz beat the 76ers 99-71.
"He didn't have a good game [in Detroit] obviously," said Jazz coach Quin Snyder, who played Burke just 2:40 in the second half of that one. "To see him come in with that level of focus and be able to move to the next play, as they say, and not let that bother him says a lot about who he is right now."
[/QUOTE]

Jeff Ayres to Idaho. Jimmer 2nd. They must not have thought that much of him. Would have been a good chance to see what he could do in their system.
Micheal Stockton taken in the draft. Liked him.
Ronnie Brewer taken. Would have liked him on Idaho.
D in lockdown mode in the 2nd half today. Hayward still struggling on offense again, but I'm sure he'll get motoring along soon. Hood continues to look the goods.
His shot looks off but he's always been streaky. The end of the bench will continue to be the concern with this thin roster. See how good they are in a couple weeks when they play the top teams.
