Detroit destroyed Atlanta on the boards, having 59-40 advantage last night. Now it’s time for their home opener and it comes against one of the up-and-coming young West teams, Utah Jazz. Won’t spend too many words on Detroit, they need to show some consistency to make me believer, yet I have to admit I really liked their effort last night.
Utah are the 4th youngest team in the league and they really have abundance of talent in all lines. Frenchman Gobert recorded a remarkable season last year and kicked his Turkish counterpart Enes Kanter out of the starting role (and the team afterwards, he was traded to Oklahoma). Trey Burke is the star among a few other young, fast and explosive guards (but his game still needs a lot of polishing). Forward Gordon Hayward is the future franchise player without a doubt. He’s all around type of player and already shows good leadership on the court, I predict a bright future ahead of him.
Yet I can’t totally agree with oddsmakers who make Jazz a small fav in Detroit. It’s a small edge really as it should be a 50-50 type of game but I feel Pistons have better chance of continuing their good momentum after last night win and start the season 2-0 at home.
