What a great win. I think the most encouraging thing for me is that the Jazz haven't looked remotely close to what we all know they can be just based on last season. I'm not worried about Hayward's slow start offensively. It seems like he's pressing. He will figure it out. The good part is that he's been very good defensively through the first three despite struggling by his standards on offense.

I did like your post by mistake -- sorry. Trey also had a lot of bad moments and I would say he gave up as much as he gave -- I was at the game and saw a lot of things I wasn't able to see on TV -- unfortunately, I don't live in Utah, so seeing a game in person is a treat.

Back end of a road-road back-to-back against a rested team. Usually that spells second half disaster. Quality win, even if the Pacers are incredibly thin.

Trey with his second straight decent game. If Lyles keeps playing like this, does Quin just increase the minutes of Favors, Gobert and Booker, or does he try someone else out as the 4th big?

He's definitely not ready and doesn't look very athletic -- but that Myles Turner, he is going to be great.
 
@Ben_Dowsett
In the 2nd half, Gobert rebounded half the shots the Jazz missed while he was on the floor.

To be fair, Lyles goes from playing SF in college to playing (small) Center for Quin? It's probably a role he's never played since he was perhaps the tallest player on a youth team. Sloan's philosophy was always to let a player develop at his natural position before asking him to learn another one. Quin's philosophy seems to be completely the opposite.
 
Favors has led the team in scoring every game so far. Very refreshing to see.

Other than the All Star break this is the longest amount of time between Jazz games for the whole season. I love the timing since there's football in between it, but YMMV with that.

Yup, his PER is 33 right now, you could say he's playing at an all-star level. He really didn't start this game well at-all either. Responded like a true pro though, not a 24 year old.
 
Favors has stepped up like he told us he would. Burke has been rock solid. Neto, Hayward, and Burks struggled with the shot tonight, but played their hearts out on defense. Hood and Gobert were two of the stars tonight. Rudy just owning the glass.

Really nice to see two straight 20+ wins on the road. Lets come out strong on Wed, and 3-1 baby!

Myles Turner would've been an absolutely perfect third big. What a dumb ****ing draft.

This. I wanted him pretty bad.
The draft went worst case scenario for the jazz. Too bad they didn't move up.
 
That was the most enjoyable game of the Quin-Synder Era. Despite the fact that the ref gift wrapped the first half of the game for the Pacers, the jazz kept their heads in it and absolutely mauled them in the second half. That was ****ing beautiful defense. That's playoff defense. If the first half hadn't been total trash, the Pacers would have scored 60 points. Favors looks amazing.
