Im' surprised Hayward got the call at the end, when do you see jazz going to the free throw line late in the game vs. Lakers, that never happens. Hayward must be the chosen one.

The way the guys like McHale, Webber, and the other guy were talking about him, you'd think as such.

Hayward looked like a freaking point guard the way he was breaking down the defense and dishing off for easy baskets, or kicking it out for the open three. Can you imagine having a point guard and a shooting guard that can break down a defense, and dish off to the bigs for easy baskets or kick it out for the open three. I am still hoping for a good small forward and point guard in the draft, that can create their own shot and stroke the 3 point shot. I think we have our elusive shooting guard we have been searching for. HAYWARD

Where's the point guard that will do that?

This. Particularly after Fisher's ridiculous whining forced a stoppage in play for review on a ball he had clearly, obviously knocked out of bounds. It wasn't even close. Dude's "good guy" act is so tired.

I'M NOT ALONE!!! Everyone always gushes about what a "good guy" Fisher is, but he reeks of phony.
 
I think my favorite part of Hayward is that when he penetrates he hasn't already decided to shoot. He keeps his head up, and if the pass is a better option he is willing to pass(unlike CJ). An unselfish slasher is a hard thing to come by in the NBA.
 
I like the comments that Favors is > than Pau. I wouldn't go that far yet, but favors is showing A LOT for a man so young. I just love his instinct to play defense and rebound coupled with a decent offensive game.
 
Love that huge block on Gasol's layup by Favors... the way he elevated for rebounds and the way he competed with Bynum and Gasol for offensive boards showed us some more flashes of how good he can be.

In this years draft:

First - Kyrie Irving, in only 11 games during the regular season he scored 17.5 pts. per game, shot 46.2% on 3 pt. shots and averaged 4.3 assist per game.
Second - Brandon Knight scored 17.3 pts. per game, shot 37.7% on 3 point shots and averaged 4.2 assist per game.
Third - Kemba Walker - scored 23.5 pts per game, shot 33%b on 3 point shots and averaged 4.5 assist per game.

There is a great chance we could get Brandon or Kemba with our first pick, or possibly one of them with our second pick, if we got lucky with the ping pong balls we might even get Kyrie.

And next years (2012) mock drafts are loaded with point guards in the top 15.

Maybe a little like the Spurs title teams? I hated playing against Tony and Manu. The would fly by anyone, and either score or pass it to a big for a lay up.
It's time to get Knight. Hay and Knight together is something to get excited about.
 
I love how it feels around here after a win against the Lakers.

Did anyone save me any Koolaid?

This is one thing he also needs to work on in the off season, developing a shot while driving. His offensive repertoire right now is driving to the hole, catch and shoot, and a pull up off a dribble on the pick and roll. On those plays you mention, a few of them have happened at the end of the shot clock, and he'd take clumsy shots or travel. He hasn't been able to get points with guys closely on him on the drive. Develop a runner, fall-away, pump fake, step back, things like that. Potent possibilities if he does. Look at Millsap's development. That step back has made him much more valuable a player.

Yeah, dead on. That's where the Horny comparisons can come in. Hornacek was deadly with those floaters and runners. An ability to get to the basket or get separation in the lane on any drive will make him a very tough cover.
 
Anyone feel like Artest really put an extra push into CJ Miles with his foot?

Seemed like a dirty play to me....he made no effort to get off him, in fact it look like he pushed his foot back into Miles.
