I know its pre-season but even then you play to win the game right? The JAzz ball movement has been great along with Jumpers/ 3 point shots. I have also been impressed with the D rotation. When can I get excited? They look really good. Maybe I am just looking for something to be excited about in my sports fanhood sphere. I have been entertained by the Jazz so I have that going for me.

I've heard some iteration of this for a number of preseasons already. They will suck very badly here shortly.

Trey hitting 11-22 3's so far is a pleasant development.

As is Exum hitting 5/10 and 9/10 from the FT line. Of course I don't expect either to continue, but nice anyway.

Trey getting his 3pt% up from 33% to at 37% could be as important as him upping his FTA rate to show that he can be a solid starting PG for a good team.

On the topic of the preseason:

http://www.82games.com/preseason.htm

To put it in perspective, the rare poor prior year team that strings together some wins in the preseason has seen an average gain of 19 wins in the next year!

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

Hayward with the run of the mill 22 point on 7 shots night.

30.3 mpg, 14.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 3.8 apg, 2.6 spg, 53% FG%, 62% 3pt%, 90% FT% - Hayward preseason averages

Mos def. High 30's would be a good jump for him.

btw, I don't wonder what the Jazz saw in Exum. HTH.

You will.

Passed by Staples center last night and didn't even know the Jazz were playing. I did not attend.

[smokymountainrain]

I'm afraid that game last night was a glimpse into how the regular season is going to go for the Jazz. They'll play good teams close, only to lose in the last couple minutes. Granted, the Jazz were missing their best and most dynamic player last night, so that's encouraging.

Nah, because at that point it would just be a case of materialization / realization. That could happen to any prospect.
