Utah is four days away from beginning the 2021-22 season against Oklahoma City on Oct. 20—and for head coach Quin Snyder, the next couple of days are all about finding the perfect balance.
During that time, Snyder believes it’s essential to continually stoke the competitive fire the Jazz have been practicing with for the last few weeks. But he also believes it’s important to make sure the players don’t get too physical with one another to the point they’re not entirely healthy for the Thunder.
“Having that longer stretch, it’ll be an opportunity for us to really dig in on some of the film and prioritize the things we want to see,” Snyder said after Wednesday’s final preseason game.
