"That was a heave and a hoe... A heave hoe"

DW amazing with 15 assists and 0 TOs to this point.

Kudos to Sloan for going to Fesenko when Elson did OK but not great. Fes with 6 RBs (3 ORB) in the same # of minutes as FE.

But Jerry, there is REALLY no reason to play Bell and let Hayward rot. Utah is up by 18 or 19. We've heard this song before. Put Hayward in, for Pete's sake. Give him some valuable minutes. This team is deep, but not so deep to sacrifice anyone.
 
They said on TV that Elson had an inner-ear problem and had to leave at halftime.

I agree on Hayward though.

Well, then, Sloan is still letting injuries and fouls (and age, as per Hayward) play a big role in deciding his rotations.

Indiana just went 11 deep on its lineup. Time for Utah to do the same (about 5 minutes ago); the outcome of the game isn't even in question, not that such a lead (or deficit) should be necessary for giving players key development time.

The incremental benefit of giving Hayward 5 minutes instead of zero is greater than the incremental benefit of giving Earl Watson 20 minutes instead of 15. (The same can probably said for Fes over Jefferson.)

Update: Hayward is seeing the floor, albeit with mere crumbs of minutes left. It would have been unfortunate if Elder Hayward hadn't been able to play against the team that he grew up emulating (especiallly Reggie Miller), especially when it's a no-risk proposition.
 
Great to see Evans get the Alley-Oop slam, and Hayward to knock down that three. Was a great game for the jazz tonight.
