BUMP!

So far, so good.

I think we played well against Houston which I believe a very good team. I watched the Mavs team against good Pelicans before the Jazz game and I think they are even better than the Rockets so I'm not so upset with our loss against them either.

And we absolutely destroyed the Suns tonight with a very good overall team performance. So I'm very happy with our current 1-2 record. We will win a lot of home games this season, if we can add some road victories to that, I believe we really can finish around 40 wins.

I have a three-year fan plan. I'll be very happy with 35 wins this year. Next year is when it should be around 45 and competing for the playoffs. The following year anything less than 50 wins and a competitive playoff series would be a major disappointment.

Don't get too carried away. The Suns were on there second game of a back to back where they beat the Spurs and there three headed monster at pg didn't have it tonight. When the Morris twins Re your best players, your team is going to struggle

I think all three scored 10 pts on poor efficiency

I'd say that's pretty reasonable. Coincides with the expected development of Exum into the starting PG role. Also allows Utah to go out and find or draft a starting PF. We have our stud interior player in Favors. And Hayward appears to be a stat filler. I'd gladly take 16/7/5, although I think scoring probably ends up a little higher and rebounds and assists come down a bit. I'm also high on Burks and Hood, despite the rookie's shooting through three games. Booker should be re-signed as a quality backup. And Gobert can be a good rim protector off the bench.

That's a core of 7 players, with Utah needing a starting PF and backup PG, IMO.

I agree with this. It's a real shame that Kanter doesn't look like he is going to work out. He should really be able to compliment favors well with his style of play, but as of now it's not looking as if we will keep him past this year. Usually Power Forward is a pretty stacked position but it doesn't look like there will be any great suitable power forwards in the upcoming draft that would compliment favors either (feel free to challenge me on this, I hope I am wrong).

*complement

(sorry, I had to do that)
 
3 games into the season, with a brutal run to kick things off and we are 1 game out of the 8 seed. #FeelThePower

We're just half a game back from being the 4 seed since the Northwest division sucks right now. Home court advantage confirmed.
