This is a fun team when they're playing well and making shots.
Hayward is so crazy.
Did anyone think he was going to be this good coming out of Butler?
Kind of like no one thought he would be as good as he was in Butler coming out of HS.
And people want to cry about him playing video games like he doesn't work on his game. Don't think you can go from a barely recruited HS player to an All-Star caliber player with no work.

Hayward with 29 pts. on 13 shots. Easily one of his best offensive nights.
The Jazz have some good players, they just need a superstar and 1 or 2 role players (back-up guard, 3/D wing).
Any hater that says Kanter can't play defense is not watching the recent games, or is not paying attention. One of my favorite plays of the games was Kanter showing hard on a high screen and switching off to guard Deng. He stayed with Deng step for step and fake for fake. Got up and challenged the shot and forced a miss. Watching Kanter guard Deng you can see the development. Kanter playing himself into a huge contract next year.
Way to go Jazz!!!
Way to go Jazz!!!
Oh just a superstar? Is that it? lol.

I liked that they were having fun too. They like each other, they like their coach and they're having fun. They lost that over the past few years. It's nice to see it again.
Think everyone has been pleased with his defensive improvement. Let's not act like his defense wasn't god awful to begin the season though.
I remember my dad saying "Did Utah draft that white dude who missed shot against Duke? How Utah of them." (My dad is a Rockets fan)
Yeah, I don't think we ever truly gave up with Corbin, but there is more fight and belief under Snyder.
Yeah, and one of our other wins was against Lebron. We be dominating those NBA Finals players.
Kanter's defense was never as bad as some were saying. Did he have some terrible games, yes. Did he deserve the hate thrown his way or the constant trade threads, absolutely not. Has his defense improved this season, absolutely. It can still be improved, but nobody can deny he is playing much better defense than the beginning of the season.
