Anyone concerned with the Jazz 3pt shooting. It is going to get better, right??

Yup

I'm impressed at the stat boosting to end the game. Now I know how Lavine/Wiggins/Towns get such good numbers on a bad team.

I think Wiggins and Towns will be very good but they are not quite to the point of helping their team win much. Lavine is going to be a volume scorer that will help when on fire and hurt when he is not. I am guessing he will never be a decent defender and will drop off a lot when he hits 30 and losses athleticism. He is scoring with good numbers in wins this season and shooting as many shots in losses at 42%.

Being traded to the Jazz was a $20 million gift for Hill, which is how much more he is going to get on his next contract. And he owes half of that to Mack.

The rest of the league better pray it doesn't.

Someone seriously posted that Hill might not be that good because he doesn't get a ton of assists?

Get out of here with that. A lot of our scoring opportunities come from Hill, Hayward, and Hood creating for themselves off of the pick and roll. Just because Hill doesn't average 7+ assists a game doesn't mean he's not a true point guard.

He takes care of the ball at a league-best standard. He doesn't turn the ball over very often. He's a stable yet assertive ball-handler who can get the shots that he wants fairly often throughout the game.

Exum's confidence needs to be nurtured so he can bloom, it's going to be wilted away being stuck on the bench.When he does get game time i can see him being overwhelmed in his decision making process on court. Unless Ex knows their marketing Mack.He still deserves 5 mins out there.

Here are my takeaways:

#BEATTHEROCKETS

on a more serious note... Holy **** what a game, Rudy. He killed Deing and Towns and scored pretty much at will, all while grabbing every rebound out there.
Hayward and Hill combine for 46(?) [edit: 48! thanks, leggomyeggo] again even though it wasn't a particularly great game for either of them. They took over the game as a duo when Minnesota took the lead, though. What a pair we've got.
I'm disappointed by the DNP-CD for Exum, but as long as we're winning, I'm ok with anything.
10-8 and a 3 game win streak boys! Lets keep it going tomorrow night.

hayward +20 in a one possession game. kinda crazy

Wow.
Amazing.

He played great on both ends.

 

[fishonjazz]

Rudy is forcing gimme layups by opponents to miss through sheer willpower.

This.
Well put.

He was pretty flawless on defense. He really took advantage of Wiggins not being the best dribbler. Wiggins seems to struggle against physical players he can't have his way with on the post.

Hayward and Gobert have been playing unreal defense tonight.

Ya Hayward was fantastic on Wiggins. I saw Wiggins score a couple times when hood was on him and then they went back to Hayward guarding him and Wiggins went back to not scoring.
