The heats win streak is more than half of our total wins. In fact, if the heat break that record of 33 their streak will have just about equalled our total wins for the season.

What is weird is that Locke also tweeted the following after the game:

Seems simple, pick n roll Burks/Hayward with Kanter/Favors time and time again.
Watched the run only and not the game. Noticed a few things
-Burks/Hayward/Marvin/Favors is the best defensive lineup we have. Enough so that they hid Jefferson pretty well. Marvin completely shut out Harden.
-Hayward was very aggressive. There's a few games I remember from D-Will where he completely ran and directed the offense and was aggressive as hell. Miracle in Miami was one of them along with one of the Denver playoff series. Hayward didn't run it as well as D-Will did, but he directed and ran it as well as I've seen anyone do it since Deron.
Not saying Hayward is D-Will or anything like that, but this offense needs a ball-handler to take charge and make calls and that's what Hayward was doing in this run.
Second, and most troubling, the Jazz have every intention of bringing Al back next season. There simply is no other justification as to why Corbin is playing him so much at the expense of Kanter. We are going to have Al for four more seasons. Sure it will be on a good contract, but its still four more years with Al. My Jazz fandom will not survive.
If Al is back after this season you can count on fans going elsewhere.
I think the only rationale for giving Al minutes over Kanter is that we'll somehow be involved in a sign-and-trade with Al this summer. I feel like I'm reaching here, but that's all I can come up with.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 5 minutes??? What in the ****.
