Hayward should have covered Kobe

[Gyp Rosetti]

It's not too impressive to score 40 points shooting the ball 40 times.

Kobe took 31 shots.

You are not counting the shot attempts he was fouled on and missed.
The Jazz defensive scheme worked good, holding the Lakers to 43% shooting, and under 90 points in the first 48 minutes.

It kind of cracks me up how difficult it is for some NBA teams to deal with a zone defense. You would think they would be able to break that zone down and force them back to man to man fairly easily.

Is Jazzfanz the Norv Turner of armchair coaching?

Discuss.

Kobe took 31 shots.

It must have been really difficult to look this up. Thanks for the hard work.

With the exception of Millsap and Watson, the whole team played pretty poorly. To lose by three in OT versus the Lakers when only two players played well is a victory and a good sign for the future.

Someone please explain this to me. Hayward in the game last April gave Kobe a lot trouble defensively. .

Stop living in last April. It is new season, Jazz are not out of playoffs yet and so far Hayward sucks. He could not guard anybody including rookie like Leonard so far, so you think it would be nice to shatter his shaken confidence even more by letting Kobe destroy him?

Hayward doesnt suck, you just try to justify yourself to say AK should be back.
The truth is Hayward isnt shooting well, but still he is taking responsibility in the last mins even in the games he looked pretty bad. Its true that he has problem guarding strong players at 3, thats why i have been screaming for all the off season that he should play at 2.

I do not want AK back on this Jazz team - lets make it clear one and final time. And if you say he does not suck, fine, you can call it struggling, whatever. His shot is off, he is turning the ball over, he can't defend anybody and his confidence is at the same level like first two month last year. Sad truth is - he is not as good as some of the posters here were hoping after meaningless stats he posted at the end of last season.
