One of the things I think is overlooked this year is Gobert’s hands. He is much better at catching the pass. It’s amazing to watch. I don’t worry about him catching the ball anymore. It’s awesome to see. Now if he gets a post move…

Nobody in the history of the NBA has improved as much or as fast as Gobert IMO. Ingles said something similar on the JJ Redrock Podcast. One of many reasons I think he has a claim to GOAT status at the center position if he continues to score DPOY accolades and particularly if he can win a title or two.

I hate 10pm est games. I didn't even try to stay up for this one. I woke up early and saw Butler only had one minute, and decided not to even watch the replay.

I can't wait for January when we actually play some real competition.

Also currently have the longest win streak in the nba at 5 (tied with chicago) and are the best team in the nba over the last 10 games at 8-2 (tied with chicago and miami)

Also one thing this team has in common with last years team is that we dont get blown out. When we lose its almost always a close loss.

All good stuff. Thanks for posting.

It should probably be mentioned that the jazz have had the easiest schedule in the NBA up to this point.

Mike Smith likes to drop those little facts about how great he is. First during the pre-game stuff he made it a point to let us know he likes to wear designer italian shoes in the snow, you know like a proper rich guy, and he made sure he had a chance to remind us he is 6'10". When will he tell us how handsome he is?

You’d think he’d have learned some humility after his scam fiasco while with the Clippers.

Although eventually acquitted, he did lose his job over it (assumed).

Lol. This? He got fired for this thing (acquitted) in 2010? How concentrated is the crack you’re smoking?

Really NAOS, is that where you want to take it? You and MS seem to be cut from the same cloth. You’ll never set me up again D W

When you're a white guy with too much money humility is what you say it is.

Thought it was the LAL that had the easiest and the Jazz, GSW and PHX were all close or tied right after.
