Game 2: Utah at Golden State. TONIGHT! 830 ESPN

I just liked that we put up a fight. As I said in another thread, aggression wins playoff games. We played more aggressively and made some decent adjustments which kept us close. I hope to have the lead maybe a few times in Utah, like right as the final horn sounds. :)

Oh and I forgot about hood. He had his worst year of his career too I think.

It's crazy to think that we got the worst burks, hood, favors, and Lyles that we will likely ever see.... plus a still too young/raw/improperly used/coming back from a bad knee injury Exum to go along with hill missing a bunch of games and Hayward missing a handful, yet still managed to win 51 games and get into the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Simply shocking. If we just get an average (not even good or great) burks, favors, hood, and Lyles next year along with ok health then this team should get closer to 60 wins.
If the stars align and rudy makes another leap, hayward gets even better, burks, favors, lyles, hood, and exum all play the best ball that they can and jingles, JJ, and hill all just stay relatively the same and we have good health than this team is a contender imo.

Lots of what ifs in that paragraph though admittedly

Next year even GSW wont do 60 easily. It is gonna be a hard competition in the west trust me. Especially in our division.

My answers:

1) I have no doubt Exum improves. But he should be getting more burn now. His improvement will be based on how hard he works. The offseason is the time to improve on a lot of things. I'd like to see more sets that complement his game.
2)Lyles seems like he doesn't have desire. I could be wrong, but I'm not banking on him. Hopefully he surprises me.
3)Alec will not improve much. He is losing athleticism, and he is successful based on his quickness.
4)Favors will hopefully heal. If he can get mostly healthy, he could be the x-factor this team needs. We lack solid post-scoring.
5)Hood will be the same
6)Gobert will improve. Too much desire not to.
7)For Bolomboy, he just needs playing time to see what we have.
8)Sadly, I believe Hayward is going to leave. He will be more efficient in the Celtics system.
9)JJ will decline if anything.
10)Ingles will be the same.
11)Hill has been hampered by injuries, if he stays healthy, he will be better.
12)I hope Snyder adds additional wrinkles and other sets. The Warriors were ready for our on ball screen and ISO game. We have made it easy for them. My one knock on Snyder is I HATE his offense. Which is funny, because it is based off what the Spurs run, the difference being the Spurs have a lot more wrinkles. Maybe we will get there, but when I see us regress to on ball screen after on ball screen, it makes me miss the old Flex and UCLA.
13)It is easy to criticize a GM for draft decisions. The Jazz could draft better, but they could also draft worse. Overall, we have done okay.

Why do you think Hayward is gonna leave?
He wont find better love, better chemistry and more money in any place else but big cities, which is not too important unless you are a single guy crazy for parties.

Golden state is the only team that scares me if the jazz are healthy.
