Hayward averages the least amount of TO's of anyone on the team who gets significant minutes....
Also, on the final play of the game he was fouled across the arms by Barnes (from what I could tell watching the replay).

Some very polarizing feelings from that game.
1. The Jazz were not going to win that game because they were playing 8 vs 5. I was ticked a couple times like I haven't been for a while.
2. The rookies show they can play - I was completely elated seeing X and Hood playin well.
3. Booker is great. (For what he is.)
4. So satisfied with Hayward's game. I felt he 'held the ship together' there for while carrying the team.
5. So pissed when Griffin was stiff-arming his way to the hole.
6. So excited for Kanter's O. So frustrated on D in "no man's land" as Harpring pointed out.
7. Alec not watching for his dude on D who floats to corner for open three... killin' me.
.
Overall though, this was a great game, but just the fact that I have my expectations so high is good news. The Jazz will be competitive in every game (essentially) this year and it will be fun. Watching some of the ball movement a pure pleasure.

And one more thing. I think we have to realize that Quin is doing pretty well and he too is a 'youngster' and so some of the things he's doing or not doing are some of his own growing pains. Also, I think he's experimenting a bit. It is clear that there is a great improvement conceptually and it will take a while before the team members are all doing the right things on O and D.

I hope you guys do trade Burke.
Yeah, Hayward had a stretch in the 2nd where he was making some great passes.
I noticed the Burks thing too. When we went on our run in the 3rd quarter we had a lot of momentum then Burks got caught floating/gambling off of Bullock and he nailed a 3. After that Crawford got a BS And-1 off Exum and it turned into a Clipper's lead from what I thought could have been a solid Utah run to put us up heading into the 4th. Burks really dissapointed me defensively today because I thought he had been subtly stepping his defense up so far this year with his mental discipline.
Griffin thing was BS too. He had one play where he used his off arm for a solid 3 seconds while driving on Hood. Then Hayward gets called for barely extending his forearm in the post against Griffin, lol.
I would guess that we have probably used more lineup combinations than any team in the NBA. He is truly experimenting every game. Kind of cool but kind of frustrating at the same time.
Agreed about the 8 vs 5 thing. It was blatantly obvious the Clippers were getting 3-4 extra calls (or non-calls).
I dunno what we can do about that though. We're just young.
After each stretch of games, there will be another player who is on the trade block... We just played a team that's least experienced players are older than our most experience players. This really, really matters in NBA. Not to mention that Clips have MVP candidate (I agree with Harp on that one) and then that $%^&! Crawford is the ultra-offense dude that just pains me to see him come in to the game....
