Jazz Bench took a big step forward tonight

Burks and Burke finally looking good together with Booker finally deciding to join the season. Ingles shooting at 57%. Nice to finally see a glimmer of hope there. Hell even Lyles scored his first 2 buckets ever. Won us the game tonight.

Booker was the X factor tonight. He was personally responsible for finishing off Denver with 3-4 crucial plays in the middle of the 4th. Good to see the bench show up though.

Yup. Booker had a level or two more of energy than everyone else on the floor int he first 5 minutes of the 4th. It showed.

Jazz bench is averaging 38.4 ppg thru the first 5 games of the season.

That is top half int he league it looks like.

Yep, and they are still pretty young, especially with the uber raw Lyles getting serious minutes. The Jazz are starting to look like a Jigsaw puzzle with the edges finally finished. Still a lot of work to do.

It was a little step, but I'll take em all

I'll say this. If Burks keeps playing the way he did tonight, then the three wing offense isn't a gimmick or stopgap. He played beautiful floor game.

lyles 2 field goals helped that as well. two field goals for 20 year old rookie!!

Don't forget Joe Ingles! Never flashy, but man he knows how to play basketball, seemingly makes the right play and decision every time. I think he was in on every big Jazz run last night.

I really like him. I hope as the Jazz start adding high quality players that Ingles stays and just moves down the rotation. He takes the spot of Johnson or Millsap at the end of the bench.

why does Booker wear a t-shirt under his jersey? I'm guessing he's being forced.

Because he has a number on his arm different than his uniform number?
