Corbin - please start Favors/Hayward the rest of the way

Problem is that we are closed to being doomed in our playoff pursuit, so will it make any sense to play Raja 35 minutes and Hayward 10? This will be very strange i will probably have the opportunity to go watch the Grizzlies in a playoff game while the Jazz stay home. Is hell freezing over?

I rather see him getting some hard fouls and learning to be tough on defense than playing the way the softass defense our team has put up lately.

Pretty sure Favors has looked more winded and his foul rate increased since his illness. Perhaps he's still battling the effects of the cold he had. I know for me, it can take weeks to get my conditioning and respiration back after being sick.
That's up to Corbin, but I can see many reasons for so doing.
Wildly unlikely things happen every day.
Playing winded will encourage bad habits. We want him to live up to his potential, not learn to take the easy way of doing things.

And what makes you think Raja has earned those minutes over hayward? I think hayward is just as good on D and twice as good on O. That means he's "earned" the minutes and Raja has been "given" the minutes. I agree with the topic, hayward should have the bulk of the playing time.

Hayward is the best SG we have right now. Therefore I think he HAS earned them. All he learns from watching Bell and Miles play is how to do it wrong.

I really don't get how any coach, no matter what level of coaching doesn't get this. I've seen high school coaches play freshman because they produce more than the seniors. At this level of play, it's about winning and not who has been in the league the longest. It's like Corbin throws Bell out there and thinks, "Let's hope he turns it around tonight." The only thing that will change this scenario is this, "Raja Bell announces his retirement from the NBA."
The scenario about Hayward, "He's playing better than CJ and we win with him in the game but he's still a rookie. Get in there CJ!"

Favors has obviously hit the rookie wall. But the rookie wall is mental just as much as it is physical.
The kid has had a trying rookie season - he's never been out of Georgia in his life and the second he gets drafted he's already part of trade rumors that last almost 60 games into the season.
He'll be fine - put him out there and make him play through it. Millsap and Jefferson are playing too many minutes anyway.

Not being the coach, and watching few games, I have no opinion on that.
That and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee. Overvaluing rookies, and overlooking their mistakes,is a luxury fans can afford and coaches can not.
