Golden State visits the Holy Jazz - An Official Game Thread

Gobert gonna make the top plays tonight.
 
Again, I really don't mind Burke trying these difficult layups in transition and in traffic. That has always been the area he needs to improve the most and it's a part of the game that really has to be practiced in-game and is hard to simulate in practice. I don't mind him trying to see if he can do it. It's good practice. We all wish Dante would try that.

As far as Burke's lack of stellar passing, I agree. He is a very uncreative passer and doesn't have great vision, but on the flip side he hardly ever turns the ball over, which is a real positive on a team that is extremely turnover prone.

The ball just sticks to him... It really messes **** up. Kanter had the same problem.
 
Good points. I'm less worried about his body than anything else. Joy Ingles said that Dante doesn't really even shave yet, except for his horrible mustache. I've come to the conclusion that he's going to require A LOT of patience, but I'm convinced he will be a player that makes the team that he's on a lot better.

My worry with Dante is we will have to wait to be elite until he arrives... That wait seems really long right now. I worry we may miss the window to be good with Hayward and favors.
 
That was the most entertaining game I've seen in years.

Credit goes to Quin, who is getting supreme effort and buy in despite the record. He's one hell of a coach. I don't know of any other coach in this league who would be getting the effort that we're getting right now.

If you just saw the last few games you'd swear the Jazz were a playoff team fighting for a top seed.

Did you see Gordon, the vanilla cobra, Hayward? He owned those guys tonight.
 
Dante will be top 5 PG in 3-4 years.

I hope so. Id like to see a big jump from him next year. He looks good on D, but I expected a little more out of him this year. I knew he was a project but I'd like to see a few wow plays every now and again.

It wasn't just one player I saw, but an entire team. Ingles dominated that first qtr, burke bailed us out a few times, Gobert was a factor, favors jumper was Malone like, Booker was incredible, and Millsap (a d leaguer looked great).

That's Snyder's fault. For a team with zero playoff hopes they are playing their asses off. In an era of tank tank tank, what Snyder is doing with this team with a long history of half *** effort, is nothing short of COY worthy. I know he won't win it but the difference between this team and the team of the last few years is night and day despite having the same core.

Imo, the biggest surprise of the year has been the rookie coach completely changing this team around.
