    Very true--and that's kind of how Utah's defense lulls other teams to shoot those quick jumpers.

    Do you guys feel Lillard is getting stuck in the air more? Could it be because he has new guys he needs to learn, and it's a mattr of time?

    Meyers has looked much better on offense, but he's still a mess on defense and on rebounds.

    I'm hoping for 2 attempts a game and for his usage to drop to the 22%-23% range.

    That pass to Ingles was sexy. He was literally in his shooting motion before the ball got to him.

    Surprised no one mentioned this:

    That Layman wide open cut to the rim... did y'all notice where Gobert was? Checking Nurkic on the 3pt line.

    Pssst: 6 turnovers in the first half isn’t optimal.
