Seriously. Hayward to me, has the skill and IQ and now plays like he's a #1 option on a deep playoff team IMO. In some ways its his natural development but I also think it's largely because the pressure is sub-consciously off with Hill here acting as not just a point guard that Hayward's basically never had but also a leader that Hayward just really is not. We seem ultra focused and I'd love somebody to look up what our defensive and offensive ratings are after tonight as well as what they are over the last four games since Hill's come back and we've really started to hit our stride like we did two seasons ago.

Really, really starting to look legit.

Lastly, Favors' injury may be a blessing of sorts because it's giving Lyles more floor time to develop, and since we are winning and really playing well, Favors can truly rehab and sit until he's truly 100% healthy. If he can come back by the new year (when our schedule gets tougher), we could really be looking at a spectacular season. I honestly think we can compete with anybody in the NBA in the playoffs. We just need to throw together a solid 82 game season so that the players see that as well (53+ wins?) and win the close games more often than not and have that confidence going into the post-season.
 
Also, and get some tissues ready here 'cause you're gonna get excited, Rudy is shooting 31-42 over the last eight games (before tonight) from the free throw line for 73.9%. That rate at over five attempts per game is HUGE.
 
Gobert is a lot more confident and the added spacing our new additions bring make things so much easier on him. The paint is open often for cutting with our starting unit.

Our next 4 games are all against sub-par to bad teams, at the worst we should go 3-1 in those games going into the Warriors game. The Warriors also play a road game against the Clippers the night before coming to Utah for the game, so we will be at a rest advantage. Could be an exciting game.

We gon' win
 
We're good. There's still quite a bit of growth that will happen with the young talent. That said, a third player needs to step up and match Hayward and Gobert's level. There's decent talent across the roster, but someone's got to become that third consistent mismatch in our favor.
