I've been confused as much as anyone, but the Jazz are pretty fun right now. Just a bunch of dudes who can do stuff.

I have no idea how long this will last, but there are a lot of guys who can play in Utah.

This was awesome.

Almost time for the undefeated matchup of the year that we've been anticipating since the schedule came out: Jazz-Pelicans!

I'm not sure Jusuf Nurkic should get the blame for that. Did you really expect him to keep LBJ in front of him?

On the plus side, at least Portland has 7.7 seconds left because LeBron scored so quickly.

I don't know if I've ever seen a more wide-open game-tying dunk with under 10 seconds in my life.

Dame time?

Somewhere, Daniel Theis is smiling as Luke Kornet perfectly executed the Theis Seal to help Jaylen Brown get this dunk.

Derrick White is 7-of-14 from three to open the season. No, White probably isn't going to shoot 50% from deep all season, but his jumper does look much improved. And that's going to make teams rethink going under screens and not contesting White, as the Magic did here.

We got a #RaptorsRally brewing?

Mazzulla saying he had a timeout 'because I never use them as you guys always say' just shows he sees and hears everything

I like when OKC and Denver play because 'Thunder Nuggets' makes me laugh.

Yes, I'm a grown ass adult.
