The Utah Spazz!

Alright, so I understand we are only 3 games in, and the team is mostly new players, but this team looks spastic already. Maybe it's just that they haven't found a good rhythm yet, maybe they don't know who they are. Are they a defensive team? Giving up 110 points twice and 99 the third night, I don't think so. Are they run and gun? Again, I don't think so, scoring 88 against Denver, 94 against Phoenix, but where did 120 against the Thunder come from?

Paul Millsap. He went crazy! He went for 30 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists! Al Jefferson was 23 and 10. AK also looked good having 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 blocked shot. It looks like the Jazz could be huge inside this season. DWill also dished out 15 assists and had 16 points.

My biggest complaint threw the first 2 games was they were not passing inside very well. Well, Al jefferson wasn't passing at all. Against the Nuggets, I counted 3 straight possessions where he got the ball, got double OR TRIPLE teamed and still tried to shot over and through people. Against the Suns, I saw the same thing at least 4 times, they just didn't go back to him immediately. If he can grasp the offense and learn to pass out of the double team, he could be really good in this system. Until than, the Jazz need to lean heavily on Millsap. He knows the system, he hustles every play and deserves the chance at being the star. If they do those things, the Jazz could beat anyone in the conference. If not, and if Big Al continues to be selfish and not pass out of the post, this team can and will go down in flames fast.
