It is too bad Jazz got the short end of the stick rest wise this series. We really needed an extra day or more between LAC and GS. We also could have used any of the extra days rest in the series not every other day we got. Its not an excuse but Jazz are one of the teams that could have really used those rest days every other team has got in the playoffs so far. Jazz probably needed the extra rest more than any other team based on the injuries and wear some of our players had.
Beyond the injuries that rest would have helped with Favors and Hill we have played a lot of minutes and ran a lot.
Hayward has ran the second most miles in the playoffs at 25.8 (#1 is 26 for Beal). We also have Inlges at #15, JJ at #16(way to many for him), and Hill at #23(despite missing a couple games).
