I love this team... even boris' fat ***!

Hayward is just so friggin confident right now. Gobert gives every thing he has every night. Watching Gobert run back on defense and always sprints on fast break to either clean up or get trail dunks. These guys are just so easy to pull for.

He just sucks at defense. And I don't get it. Tonight he was better. His previous games this year he has been horrible. Locke was talking about it today and saying Snyder has been pretty frustrated with burks defense in practice and that they are trying really hard to work with him on it but he is always getting lost on switches and stuff.

This has me both worried and happy about his future. Snyder isnt the kinda guy who will play a guy minutes if he sucks on defense, so still seeing Burks play and hearing about them trying hard to improve his defense gives me hope.

But at the same time we kinda know what we get with Burks, and I was super high on him since we drafted him and have been waiting for him to explode, I worry he may not be more than a good bench guy

Yeah I hear Quin yelling "c'mon AB" quite a bit from the sideline so he probably isn't always where he needs to be.
 
Seems like hayward rarely even hits rim on his jumpers lately. So dialed in.
 
Hayward and Rudy have both been balling out of their god damn minds this season. I hope that Favors and Burks both can make similar leaps in their games next season once they get fully healthy. Then this team will be a title contender.

Major LOL to all those "Why did we get Hill and not Teague in that deal" looking real stupid.

Hill completely turned this team from borderline playoffs to potential a top-5 team in the league. He was definitely the missing piece we needed.

Hayward is so damn efficient. 27 points on 13 shots is amazing. He's getting to the free throw line a lot and is becoming that guy.

Gobert just brings it each and every night. He is good for a double-double every night and it seems like he never has an off night because of it.

We seriously have a legit big three and if we keep playing like this a top-3 seed is in our sights.

I don't want to overreact but it seems like we're playing better without Hood. We are obviously a better team when he is shooting well but right now we are clicking.

Neto and Diaw are horrible.

Lyles has been struggling shooting the ball but he always ends up with the highest +- it's crazy.

Exam should be playing over Neto.

Burks looked amazing and was really in a groove tonight. Made me happy to seem him back to his old ways. He will be the instant offense we need off the bench.

6 WINS IN A ROW!!!

This is a great post and sums up how I'm feeling as well. IF the injury bug can leave this team alone finally, I honestly feel like we're better than Houston and gaining ground on becoming better than San Antonio. This group of guys can be damn special. It's a great time to be a Jazz fan. I'm giddy.

He had three good assists tonight and a few other good passes.

On a Favors side note I think Favors gets fouled without a call more than anyone on our team the last couple years. Hayward was in that boat but he is getting respect from refs this year.

Whats it matter? Hes EASILY our teams worst FT shooter.. Not looking at stats but it feels when im watching like he has less than 50% chance each try.

I noticed AB was staying in front of his man and fighting over the screens as well as I've seen him tonight. One of those fouls against Ellis should've been on Ellis who dips his shoulder into the defender and causes the contact. It's a move he makes regularly and the refs need to wise up. I do, however, see a lot of offensive players drawing contact like that and the refs calling it on the defender, like that hail-mary three that Teague took and popped Ingles in the mouth, by jumping into him. That clearly was an offensive foul, but the refs are not calling it. It's been happening a lot.

Alec is unquestionably one of the most athletic guys in the league. He just needs to train his brain now... Hypnosis. Anything.. Its hard to get guys to THINK WITH the system when they arent that type of guy. I love alec.. Hes always been the guy i root for. If he can learn to play defense he takes this team from good to great.
