Great game. Couldn't ask anything more of this team. They played D, they put great pressure on the Jazz guards, and played about as physical as you could ask for, with the exception of not getting on the floor for a couple of loose balls. A lot of fouls were committed because this young team was putting out the effort on the defensive end (and of course there were some bad calls), but those are sins of commission, not omission; I'll take that. Loved the effort. Stein played the best game I've see him play against a quality center. I love Yogi. Talk about grit. That kid has it. With Fox and Yogi they have the opportunity to really put the pressure on opposing guards. They got killed by Ingles, but Fox totally outplayed Rubio and Yogi and Co. put the pressure on Mitchell to make him a volume shooter. Next up: the Pelicans. Consistent effort is going to be the key to the season. Let's see if they can do it two games in a row.
was very impressed with Willie's moves going at Gobert, he had a handful of CLEAN advanced takes going right at him.. he had some spectacular stretches.
Fox was very good, it seeemed like the Kings were winning the action when he was in the game, and Rubio was nearly invisible. He a handful of defensive plays.
Yogi looks likehe's gonna be worth his weight in gold on that contract, very exciting.
Utahs frontcourt goes an insane 23/29 from the field, Favors completely overwhelmed anyone near him in the post, Giles looked particularly helpless. Luckily teams arent all built like Utah upfront.
Achilles heel seemed like the SG position though. Exum and Burks off the bench had a major impact. Hield was a bit too sloppy. Shump looked out of sync.
The start of the 2nd half was great! This team fought well. Good game and they put up a ton of points vs a stout defense.

I'm going to assume much of those Jackson minutes are gobbled up by Bogdan when he comes back but yeah there could be minutes there. Ideally we see the number 35 next to the minutes per game category of Buddy, Bogdan, and Fox this year on average.
I agree, I think 38 is a bit long winded for Willie and it showed toward the end. I'm not sure how much it effects him now but remember he came into the league with questions about his stamina due to his sickle cell.

Bagley I think did not get minutes because the game was too fast for him on the defensive end... but he looked promising to me. Giles though looked overwhelmed. Another positive from this game is that we figured out we should not play Shump 
(if only we would listen to @Joshua)

Bagley and Giles looked good during the preseason so I'm not too worried.
