This is a shocker. I totally forgot about this game the whole night, until 11:30 after it ended. So I went to cbssportsline.com to check the stats-

Jazz
Stat Total
Points 99
Field Goals 42-72, 58% <- Wow
Free Throws 10-14, 71%
3-Pointers 5-10, 50% <- 50% from 3 land while shooting 10 is great, a problem with the Jazz last year, from the games that I saw, is that we didn't take many threes, and we didn't make many.
Off. Rebounds 6
Def. Rebounds 21
Total Rebounds 27 <- Really only the bad stat that must be improved on.
Assists 24
Blocks 3
Fouls 19
Steals 8
Turnovers 11 <- I would love to see us average under 15 tpg. Last year we had what, 17?


That statline is pretty impressive, minus the rebounds. What about the guys who watched the game? What did you notice about the players? I'm not going to be able to watch the Jazz until 12-1.

Great start for the Jazz! Unfortunately it's creating barely suppressable urges to start declaring that we will make the playoffs after all. But we won't.

But, we won't be some 9 win crap like a lot of people have been expecting. It's early days yet, but it is in our favour that no-one expects anything of us. If other teams enter the game thinking they'll pick up an easy W we just might pick up a few shockers.

Go Jazz!!
