Thank you jazz!! There were a lot of highs and lows.
Sucks that that Lyles couldn't build on his positive rookie season. I haven't given up on him yet. I fully expect him to bounce back next year.
Probably my biggest low, for me was seeing Burks and Favors decline from injury. They are truly a couple of my absolutely favorite players, and total class acts. More than anything I want to see them come back with a vengeance!! What might have been had we had the good Burks, and Favors. Can't help but think we would've been true contenders, who knows, maybe we would've beaten the rox for third seat in the playoffs.
Injuries all together was so demoralizing at times. Seemed when someone got healthy someone else would go down. I can't help but wonder how many games we lost because of injury?
The highs.
Seeing Rudy and Hayward become absolute studs was fun to watch. They put Utah on the map. It was so cool to see Hayward reach his first all star game. To see him finally be recognized as an all star was great!! It was great to see Gobert reap souls on defense and become a big part of the offense. Regardless of what happens he's dpoy in my book!!
I've defended Ingles since his arrival. Most here thought he'd be an after thought on this team. Hell of a year. In many ways he was the heart of this team. It was fun to see his hard nose attitude on both ends of the floor.
Amaizing what this team can do whith a decent pg, and Hill was more then just decent. He just brought a higher quality brand of basketball this team has lacked since that one idiot was traded.
With all the injury this team suffered was there a coach that had a tougher job then Quin? Coach Q coached his *** off and then some. Like Rudy, he's coach of the year in my book.
Exum had plenty of growing pains, but when he was on, it was so much fun to watch him ball.
JJ turned out to be a great signing, and I'll admit I was a little nervous as to how he'd fit in here. It was great to see him dominate the clips and I'm not completely sure we get past the clippers without ISO Joe. He may be as old as dirt, but he can still score when the team needed it most.
In my book this was a success of a year. It was great to have meaningful games again. This yeast was a blast!!
