I thought the the game was today for some reason.

1. Fontecchio continues to be solid. He plays hard and it shows.

2. I kinda dozed off in the 4th quarter but apparently George led a mini-comback to make the score somewhat respectable. Good to see him break out with a high-scoring game with good percentages.

3. I'm guessing Sexton and Samanic managed to play better because most of what I've seen was a lot of misses.

4. I'm still at awe at how easily we turn the ball over.

FJS put the reverse-jinx on George at the end of the previous game.

I don't know if you look at ESPN NBA homepage for scheduling and scores, but they squeeze a limited number of games in to their top line heading and fail to make it obvious when there are more games. I didn't realize from the ESPN NBA homepage last night that the Jazz were playing until they were already way behind in points, so I just continued to watch a closer NBA game.

still, I watch every game... and I turn down at 2nd quarter.... this team is hopeless... It's the most disgusting Jazz team I have watch.
Even the Corbin ones were more decent.

I agree with this, even at full strength, this team is hard to watch.

People just have to let go Jazz asa team of old fashioned ball-on-the court game, wins efforts. Now it is all about tbold flashy rades, and bets drafts positions. Then they will be able understand and enjoy modern Utah Jazz.

Not sure... even the last Gobert-Mitchell team was nice to see even they lack for something.

I have enjoyed every Mitchell year with us (18-22). Last Hayward's year was nice too.

Most of Deron-AK-Boozer-Okur were pretty cool too. And every Malone-Stockton team were nice too.

Even last year was cool from 1st half of the year.

It's not we are loosing... it's we aren't competing. We have no offense... and altough we are trying in defense we cannot do it for 48 min.
It's ridiculous how easy to beat we are.

Hendricks scores 8 points. When his 3 point shot starts falling he will be the stretch 4 we need. He showed flashes of above the rim athleticism with a block and a dunk. He moves fast.

Do you fellow Utah Jazz fans see his potential?

Hendricks had a sweet block at the rim at the 1:30 mark, but they called a foul. He got game.

There is definitely upside there with Hendricks. He could be a very useful player with great defense, defensive versatility, and the ability to rebound and knock down 3s. He could be a very nice player, but I don't see star potential.

Hendricks still plays tentative, which concerns me. However, he will occasionally flash. Hopefully, with time, he'll get some confidence and even moxie.
