Look, the Jazz didn’t try very hard at all defensively in the first half. They gave up 78 points in the first half, and that’s a large number. It’s now three games in a row where they’ve given up 128 points or more.
I’d say you should care at about a five level on a 1-10 scale. They almost undoubtedly will turn the effort level up when the regular season comes around next week, heck, they did so in the second half. But that lack of effort, that lack of focus on the defensive end we’ve seen means that these preseason games that should be used as warmups for the regular season won’t be very effective.
