Pretty impressive by Exum. Really want to see how he got the blocks, only saw that Locke said a lot of them were on 3s

Wow, had no idea he played so few minutes.

I love how Quin has absolutely no shame in exploiting mismatches and switches. I LOVE IT! If he smells blood he's unleashing the dogs and keeps feasting on it until the opponent adjusts... then find the next mismatch. This is a very underrated part of our offensive gameplan and once we are fully healthy he will absolutely destroy teams with this. Yeah, we might not be the most top-heavy team, but we have some incredible weapons against specific matchups. Very few teams in the league have the defenders to to defend 3-4 good ballhandlers and if they do, even fewer would be able to defend the power of Favors on the low block.

This team is built to win a ton of games. When healthy this team will be trouble for anybody really.

Man, it's been so long since we had a quality team, and a quality win like this.



I must admit, I've forgotten how to celebrate a victory such as this... LOL ...

Best win of Quinn's career.

Hill is a flat out stud for this team. An absolute steal for the 12th pick in that draft. I hope he is re-signed for another 3 years or so.

I hope he retires as a Jazz man to be honest. I mean he gets bounced around enough. He got traded to IND because the Spurs wanted Kawhi, then when he thought he would finish his career there (he admitted this during introductory interviews), IND traded him for a more dynamic PG in Teague cos they wanted to up their pace of play.


I think he's looking for a place that will appreciate him for who he is as a player and I think the Jazz might be that perfect place/fit for him.

Awesome awesome win. George Hill mvp of the season so far.
Nice to see lyles break out.
Diaw missing the game was nice.

Oh and mack made me eat some crow

Like how no one give Mack props after all y'all do is **** on him for having a few mediocre games.

I did.

This is to request video compilation of Lyles and Exum (four blocks please!).
TIA

Exum has looked a lot better these last 3 games. Loved seeing him attack and dish a pretty assist after getting called for that shooting foul -- an idiotic call; if anything, he fouled the screener, Dedmon. Nice to see Lyles get going as well.

On the negative side, Joe Johnson was ball-watching quite a bit, which improved Kawhi's looks. Can't afford to play off/lose a player of that caliber.

I wrote this down as a 20 pt loss. Glad to be very wrong. The shots were falling, and we didn't fold during crunch time.

All of these wins with out Gtime are huge. Lets hope we can put the Mavs away at home!

He is everywhere

Every non three point bucket was against the llama gasol. Gasol was so frustrated by hill.

He really put his stamp on this game. Does he ever breathe hard? #Mailmanfit

Good observation. He never seems to be tired. Same goes for Burks when he is healthy.

Boris can retire and move on to being a player assistant. More Lyles... More Ingles. I like having Boris around the young guys just don't want him playing basketball for us anymore.

I was saying this before the season started. I was never excited about that signing. Didn't hate it, just didn't think he would do much on the court and hoped he would rarely play meaningful minutes. Then in pre season he tried to fool me.

Also, I was not a big believer in Dante after his rookie year. I've seen enough flashes this year to open my eyes. The defense was always good enough so I wasn't worried he wasn't going to be an NBA player, but the offense was just weird. He's getting where he wants and you can tell he's lining things up and his defense was great tonight.

I agree that he looks like he will be an ok nba player. Still don't think he will be a star/franchise type player like some of the hype he has gotten from jazz fans. Still looks too awkward, tired, and scared on offense.

So far he is helping the team play winning basketball when he is on the court though so I'm happy with his play at this point.
