Jazz fall to Nuggets 117-100

- In the first two games, the three players with the worst PER are veterans: Earl Watson, Raja Bell and CJ Miles.

- Against the Lakers, the Jazz defense was fine but their offense was awful.  Against the Nuggets, their offense was fine but their defense was awful.  If the Game 1 Jazz D can merge with the Game 2 Jazz O, they'll be a decent team.  It's up to coach Tyrone Corbin to figure out how to marry the two.

- Alec Burks had a mere two minutes against the Lakers, but he took full advantage of the nine minutes of garbage time he got against the Nuggets, finishing with 15 points and 2 steals.  If the Jazz are going to lose I'd much rather see Burks start at 2 than Bell.
