The Jazz have really been impressive in their first two games at home against the Clippers. It will be interesting to see if this continues, but Leonard has looked human in the first two games...similar to his second round last year. Is he tired or is the defense so much better that it is tough for him to take over games?
Watching the Jazz, it is clear the Mavs need to upgrade their talent of their roster. The Jazz have done a real nice job just making smart moves. For some reason, I thought Ingles was a more recent acquisition (2017 ish). He was acquired in 2014-215, so that is a little longer than I thought. But they traded for Conley, signed Bogdanovich, traded for Clarkson (for Dante Exum and two seconds), Royce O'neal was undrafted playing overseas, and Nieng was a late second round pick, etc. They just haven't made a lot of mistakes. And the mistakes they did make with a guy like Exum they still got something of value for him.
Just a real nice team. I find myself rooting for them and the Bucks now the Mavs are eliminated. Although, the Bucks looked very shaky last night and I don't have much hope they can win 3 more games.
