Shit. I hope we don't get just .9% better.

[Superbone]

s***. I hope we don't get just .9% better.

We'd just have to do 1.1% the next game.

I am curious to see if Len finds a way to adjust against Gobert. He always seems to struggle against him. We get to see how big of a help Okur really is and getting Len ready.

Chandler woof. Any word on anything with him. He's been out for personal reasons, now Watson said he's dealing with a hamstring issue he's had before training camp?

Typical Chandler pre-season stuff. He's an old vet that uses any excuse he can not to practice or play until the regular season starts. At least that is the book on him.

Len just keeps making bad decisions out there. Too often he moves on his screens. What was that thing where he just basically bum rushed Gobert at the three point line. Like wtf was his thinking on that?

[ShelC]

This game is awful.

[specialsauce]

Len is so average, plain and simple. He hasn't improved 1 bit since his rookie year except for his J. He's a big body and he has a decent jumpshot, that's about it. He is not a starting center in this league. A decent 7th man off the bench.

Disagree completely with the statement that he's quality because on film he sets great picks.... Chris Christie could set great picks too.

[carey]

We look bad with a capital B, A and D. Barbosa just got a flagrant 1 for running through a pick with his arms up high.

I just tuned in. 26-8 Jazz, with Gobert 8-11 FT. Ouch.

Here we go...just counted like 3 high fives during that Booker FT attempt...

[EDC]

He doesn't even set good solid screens. Like 90% of the time he is moving or sticking his ass out trying to clip the defensive player. He could be called for so many more fouls. Instead of playing solid he does this wonky shit. Like he doesn't have a feel for the game at all. All he has to do in the post is hit the jump hook or turn and hit the jump shot. Every time he spins he ends up like a foot off the ground stumbling around. It is embarrassing.

[ShelC]

Jazz are a step quicker than us, we're fouling on everything, offense is out of sync. We have no one to play through down low so it's our perimeter guys dribbling around and trying to break down the D. We've gone small and are getting killed in the paint. Chriss is trying but he's matching up with Gobert. Bender is out there now with him and just had some real nice defense on the switch and came up with the block. He' knows what he's doing out there and just has a veteran savvy to him.

No! Just seen a few posts here glamouring over Len setting screens and being in the right spots

[EDC]

Still no left hand for Len. What did he work on in the off season? What are the coaches teaching him?

[The Bobster]

We're not getting enough high-fives this game.

That's the problem!

Flagrant 2 and ejection for Sims. Elbowed Williams in the head.
