"Derrick Favors drove along a barely-used desert road. It had been almost an hour since he had seen any sign of civilization, here in the barren Utah flatlands. The only lights he had seen were his rental car's headlights, illuminating the night when he dared to use them. He was totally lost now, and he knew it. His phone would have told him perfectly where he was, had he not destroyed it a mere 10 minutes into his journey. It lay in broken pieces on the passenger seat, next to the red-stained hammer that had done the deed.

He came to another unmarked crossroads. He stopped, a look of intense concentration on his face, then turned left, only to double back and choose another random direction. He had done this repeatedly on his winding journey, as if to shake off a pursuer.

Suddenly, he stopped, as if satisfied that he had evaded all followers. He clambered out of the sedan, fumbled with the trunk latch, and reached inside. The sense of caution that had marked his travels had disappeared, now, he bore a smile as he retrieved a shovel and a bulky object encased in a large white cloth. He hoisted the object over his shoulder and began to walk.

After venturing so far into the desert that he could only faintly discern the outline of his vehicle, he placed the object on the ground and began to dig. His basketball player's frame and the loose soil made the task easy; before long, he had a hole half as deep as he was tall, and twice as long. He placed the object in the hole, sprinkled it with the remains of his phone, and, whistling, began to cover it again with soil. Again, it was a quick job. As he walked back to his car, he turned back to look at his handiwork. No traces of his presence remained, at least, any that were noticeable to a human.

Derrick could sense the sun readying itself for the new day as he drove away from the scene. He smiled; it was a new day for him as well. He drove for a long time, not bothering to attempt to retrace his steps. He knew that, eventually, he'd find his way home. A home that would have a new appreciation for him.

"Thanks, Rudy" he muttered as the sun finally peeked above the horizon."

A few random comments:

1) What a hell of a game. Except I only set my DVR to record a half hour instead of an hour beyond the end time, so I saw the Jazz up by 3 in OT with 8 seconds left and had no idea how the game ended. I still don't even know what happened on the last play. This has now happened to me 4 times or so, and you'd think I'd learn to just do it by an hour now, but apparently I'm an idiot.

2) I wish we could see just half of that Favors every game of the season, though he's close this season. Damn he was dominant. And that elbowing foul on George was such an awful call.

3) Booker willed the team to get to OT in the 4th quarter. He's a great asset when he's out there hustling, which is starting to happen more often as the season goes.

4) I was happy to see the good Trey today. Was unhappy to see the bad Alec today.

and finally....

QUIT ****ING FOULING 3 POINT SHOOTERS!!!!! Good god I don't think I've ever seen that 5 times in a game before. It was unreal.

What a huge win after a lackluster depressing loss to the Magic. The team, and fan base were down,
and Favors took us all on his back.

As amazing as Favors was, Booker was a close second. The man played his heart out, and gave us key rebound after rebound.

Burke, and even Neto to start that 3rd QT were big. Good to see a team effort tonight.

The energy, and emotion late was so amazing to see.
 
Easily one of the most entertaining games I've seen in my time rooting for the Jazz. Right up there with the victory over OKC that Jamal Tinsley started in '12-'13.


Also was one of the best games you'll ever see Paul George play.. I mean was he unreal last night or what?! gotta tip your cap to that type of performance.

That was a character builder for this young squad -- And they got the W!!! Good ****.
 
Totally agree with all of this. Plus they whistled Hayward 2 quick fouls which were bogus...

I am just glad they let Hayward body up and shut down PG on OT.

Key play in OT was Jazz down 1, Pacers inbounding and Hayward on PG's a$$ and PG hit the ground, Hayward coast to coast dunk, Jazz up 1.

They seemed to lose their whistle in OT at least..

Was shocked that the refs actually got one right. Kept waiting for a whistle when PG tripped. Also on the PG flop, I just started loling hard when the refs went to replay to see if it was a flagrant worthy foul because they were going to feel like idiots seeing absolutely no contact. Priceless.
 
Also PG put the bed the Hayward v PG argument. He is a great player.

Don't look now but the Jazz are on the verge of cracking the top-10 offensive and defensive rating club.
 
Favors made some amazing shots in this game. Just looking at the angles and the arc he had to put on his shot all the while taking contact from the defense had me in awe. Definitely nice to see us win again, I thought the energy was there the whole night. Now if they could just figure out that if they play like that every game that they'd actually go on a winning streak, we'd be in business.

Statements like this are so bunk man. Both players have entire careers ahead of them. Both have had good starts, in different environments. Hayward actually looked better defensively tonight, and he's easily the better passer. George is the better scorer, as of this point.

Let them both play out their careers and we can compare later. If Favors can overtake offensive option #1 status on this team in his 6th season (something no one saw coming) then it should teach us that the jury is still out on these young kids.
 
Not enough people talking about Burke. His passes out of the p&r are straight money.

Hayward's D has been the big improvement this year for him-- and it cannot be overstated how important this is for us.

Yeah he really needs to be in the starting lineup. Giving him Favors and Hayward to actually finish his passes. He hasn't been given nearly enough credit for handling the ball the majority of the time and playing almost mistake free ball offensively last night.

Sure would like to see the player Hayward could be if he got the Paul George referee treatment. Seriously think that Adam Silver was related to that first girl that Hayward let go after he was drafted. . .

Yes they still have long careers ahead of them and it's too early to judge who will have the better career.

However it's not too early to judge who is better right now and Paul George is better. It's not even close. 100% of gm's would rather have george. There is really no argument to be had
