Unless that ecstasy is kicking in a decade too late, yeah, it is.
The best part is we're actually more clutch than last season with these ragamuffins. They know their role and there's less chucking.
It's amazing how well the Mitchell trade has worked out for both teams. Cavs look vey solid and of course we're ballin' out and shocking the league.

Yeah, it's still early, but nearly 10% of the season is over, and this team is still an overwhelming joy to watch. Everyone looks like they are having fun out there. Conley. The new kids brought him some much needed life, and I must admit, I really enjoy a happy Mike Conley.

Joy to watch. No needs to link to a random social media account for confirmation.
For me personally this season of Jazz has been the most enjoyable period ever with the game of basketball.
It is like 101 to 'how the game should've always been played'.

I thought Mike's struggles at the second half of the year were mostly mental. He's playing more free and confident and it shows.

I think more than a little credit to Conley and Clarkson improved play goes to the coaching change. I think Snyder was too rigid and pushed his process far too hard to the point it stifled creativity.

Conley needs serious props for taking on the “old man” leadership / glue guy role this year. He looks fresh, heathy and energized. He’s been a steady hand when adversity strikes and deserves kudos for leading that charge.
I was a highly critical of the trade to get him - not because I didn’t like him as a person or player, but because I wanted to Jazz to prioritize getting wings and stretch bigs with their cap space and assets.
I thought he’d be traded and would’ve been perfectly content to get basically anything of value to move him. Totally happy to be wrong on that count and see him playing such a critical role in this early season success.
I'm wondering about this myself if coaching had a lot to do with it. Conley struggled early on with Snyder's system but now hes playing like Memphis mike . Also Hardy said he didn't beg Clarkson to pass more, it was JCs own doing. Olynyk was an unwanted player look at him now. Lauri was underutilized in Cleveland now he's primed for all-star. These guys came here and got better and non of them had ego.
My fear is later on our front office trades for a drama queen and ruin this joy jazz have.

Absolutly. I remeber him saying that he was here for his job. I follow Mike since he got draft and it was the first year i see him with such a bad body language during games. It was hard to watch. This year, he is all fun with this crazy bunch of youg guys as his JC. And it makes a big difference.
