Congratulations to Jazz. That was awesome. Some quick points.
1. The new point guard is already better than Tinsley or Lucas. I will have to learn his name.
2. Hayward had a terrible first half. He played selfish and stupid basketball. He couldn't throw it into the ocean and kept turning it over. In the second half he played amazing. Isn't it amazing that the difference between selfish play and amazing play is often just making baskets. He still took shots that were not fundamentally sound in the second half but they went in. I give the guy credit. First half he was not worth 5 million a year. Second half he was worth the max.
3. Kanter was just flat out awesome on both offense and defense tonight. Also, for those that say Kanter Kantrebound I would say you are looking at stats and not what is happening. On every rebound the other team is sending one or two players to box out Kanter. On every play he's fighting for position against one or two people. Other players have to step up when they concentrate all their effort on stopping Kanter. Davis was amazing and so was Kanter tonight.
4. Favors played great.
5. Jefferson and Williams played out of their freakin heads and made some big shots down the stretch.
6. With the way they played (hard with heart and hustle) I would have been okay with a loss, but I'm thrilled we won.

These guys are not ****ing robots. They have to have a win occasionally before they slit their wrists. Don't worry, it was against the Pelicans on the back end of a back-to-back. We will lose plenty of the next ten, don't worry.
I'm not a Ty hater, I'm just not a dumbass that deludes myself into thinking he's anything other than a God-awful coach.
How was it pathetic? Kanter played most of the 3rd and half of the fourth. It seemed like he needed a break. Besides Favors had been sitting a while and Marvin was playing well. So you want the coach to take out someone who is playing well just so another player can get his allotted minutes. Favors made a couple key shots down the stretch too.
Everyone that was playing at the end of the game was playing well. Besides Kanter didn't seem to have a problem with it. Geez the Jazz finally get a win and people complain about substitutions. Now I would call that pathetic.
Pfft, don't be stupid. They'll win a lot more when Burke returns, especially near the end of the season when their schedule is light and other teams are going to be full-on blatantly tanking.
Yea I forgot how smart you are. Besides when did I ever say Ty was a great coach. Really sounds like I am not the only dumbass on this board. Seriously, why do you even watch the Jazz, all you do is bitch about everything.

The fact that Denver, sac, Philadelphia, all won tonight softens the blow ... But we could have built a cushion !!

Very tough schedule ahead, the cushion will become plush don't worry. This was a timely win for the young guys confidence and Jazz fan base.
No one is getting carried away. We're just happy that the Jazz don't have to talk about the losing streak. Now maybe they can relax and just play. I fully expect them to lose against GS and SA so no one is delusional about having an extended winning streak. How about you doom and gloom posters give us just a day to enjoy this one.
