Neto was the only one on the team who hit 3 pointers and was 3-6 overall. If Hood shooting 0-7 from 3 was the bigger issue in the game, as well as Burks missing a few jumpers he should probably be hitting if he wants to be a really dangerous player. Still early days though.

[QUOTE]But Booker doesn't consider himself the Jazz's enforcer.
"We got guys that, you know, they don't take anything from anybody anyway," he said. "They know how to step up for themselves."

[QUOTE]Now Booker is ready to step up and step back onto the court.
The 6-foot-8 lefty put together a nice week of practice before heading out on the road trip, glad to finally be rid of the protective mask he'd had to wear for the past month.
"It's sitting right over there," he said one day, pointing to the bleachers inside the Jazz's practice facility. "Think we're going to have a burial ceremony for it later."
Just before the start of training camp, Booker broke his nose in a pickup game. He needed surgery. He was fitted for a mask, but it was a nuisance, obstructing his vision every time he shot and every time he tried to do the dirty work the Jazz have come to expect from him.
"We missed his energy, his rebounding," Snyder said Thursday, ticking off the ways Booker might have helped in Detroit. "He manages to do a little of everything to help you win."
On Friday night, he'll actually be back in the arena to do it.

[QUOTE]The Utah Jazz's thinnest position looked a little thinner Thursday, with only one healthy point guard available to practice.[/QUOTE]
More importantly only 7 NBA players. :cry:
[QUOTE]A knee contusion kept Raul Neto out of action during the team's practice Thursday on the campus of Temple University. He is listed as questionable to play Friday against the 76ers.[/QUOTE]
Kind of expected that.
[QUOTE]The Brazilian point guard was injured in an awkward fall during Wednesday's season opener at Detroit. In the second quarter, Neto contested a shot and fell to the ground. He lay there for a while, clutching his knee in pain before limping off the court under his own power.
"He scared me for a minute there," forward Joe Ingles said.
Neto was able to return to play in the second half of that 92-87 defeat, which gives Jazz coach Quin Snyder hope that the injury won't be a long-term issue.
"I'd leave that to our trainers and doctors to make that determination," Snyder said when asked if the injury was serious. "I hope not. Based on the fact that he was able to go back in the game, maybe that's an indicator, although you never know."
[/QUOTE]
Shouldn't have been in the game if it was serious! :wtf:
[QUOTE]On Wednesday night, Neto became the sixth different Jazz point guard to start opening night in as many seasons, and the first Jazz rookie to start at the position since 1979.[/QUOTE]
Stockton should have as well as Deron.
[QUOTE]Neto scored eight points and dished out three assists in the 92-87 defeat. He played 26 minutes; Utah's other point guard, Trey Burke, played 15.
"[Neto] was solid," Snyder said. "That's what he's been doing.

[QUOTE]The elder Raul Neto loved to watch his favorite NBA player, John Stockton, suit up for the Utah Jazz.
When his son's name was announced to a chorus of boos here Wednesday night, Raul Neto had done something Stockton didn't do: He started a season opener as a rookie.
Neto, 23, became the first Jazz rookie to start a season opener since Luther Wright in 1993 and the first Jazz point guard to start as a rookie since Duck Williams in 1979.

Luthur started! Says a lot about the organization! :facepalm
