Discussion and analysis regarding NBA basketball and the Utah Jazz.

@ShamsCharania Doubt anyone is surprised by this move.

@CollegeFBPortal @HaussHejny @CSUFootball @BarstoolCSU Did you attend college? Have you spent any meaningful time on a college campus? You don’t seem in-tune with how campus life actually works.

[JazzSmack @JazzSmack]

@ShamsCharania Long long long overdue.

@ShamsCharania This was a much needed outcome for the Bulls to move forward in a positive direction. Nothing was going to change for the better with Billy Donovan as head coach.

Portland Trail Blazers with regard to this new ownership group, what are their true intentions? What are they doing?

[JazzSmack @JazzSmack]

@CollegeFBPortal @HaussHejny @CSUFootball @BarstoolCSU This is standard practice for college students attending school out of state. This is what everyone does.

@Fullcourtpass @NBA__Courtside Kon won’t be the defensive player that Klay was at his peak, but Kon is already a better playmaker for others than Klay ever was.

@TheDunkCentral @DraymondShow @NBA__Courtside Lakers,Clippers and Warriors are not contenders as is.

@anthonyVslater Defense across the league is pretty poor other than OKC. Watching NBA basketball would be a vastly more enjoyable experience if better defense were being played. Much of the problem is obviously the league itself. Hard to criticize Green for being frustrated.

The Utah Jazz score 128.4 points per game at home, the highest average in the NBA. They score 106.4 points per game on the road, the third-lowest average in the NBA. That is an incredible home vs road offensive difference.

@RADeMita I would find it strang to hear Quinn Buckner excited about his team losing.

[JazzSmack @JazzSmack]

@rob_alvord Yes, consistency is vastly better.

@Justintohoops This is very sad. Whenever we see anyone, let alone such a young person, deal with cancer, it’s quite depressing. Wishing the very best for him. Topic has had to overcome considerable health challenges thus far in his young career.

[JazzSmack @JazzSmack]

@TheDunkCentral @PatBevPod Making an absurd comment for views. This is nothing new.

[JazzSmack @JazzSmack]

@HornetsLead Depends on the objective for this season. To win THIS season, you play Sexton big minutes.

[JazzSmack @JazzSmack]

Beautiful play to end the first quarter between Walt, Nurk and Brice.

[JazzSmack @JazzSmack]

Highlight of this first Utah Jazz preseason game is the health of Taylor Hendricks. There was some very positive play by several of the young Jazz players, yet Taylor’s positive physical health and his ability to put that horrific injury behind him mentally, was far and away the highlight of the night.

@Tjonesonthenba Dude is an absolute legend. Good person. Good basketball coach.

[JazzSmack @JazzSmack]

He's clearly the best perimeter defender currently employed by the Jazz. That was obviously the case last season as well even while he played in the G-League. But on offense, it's like the guy guzzled a can of Red Bull right before checking in. Dude just needs to calm down a bit on the offensive end.

Isaiah collier is playing vastly better basketball so far in this game than he did in the last game.
