Game #11 Toronto Raptors at Utah Jazz Wednesday 18 Nov 2015 @ 7:00pm Mtn

He blew by Hayward. Cant put that all on Rudy. Quin said that dunk was not on Rudy but the defense that allowed him to get to that spot.
Hay got blown by 5 times by my count. Really disappointing that he couldnt stay in front of his man.
Uhh, Hayward played the best perimeter defense on the team again. He only got blown by twice, the other times he was funneling Derozan into the defense, I think you are mistaking him icing the PNR to force Derozan into the defense as him letting Derozan blow by him on a couple of possessions. He did get legitimately blown by a couple times where Derozan went early and surprised Hayward.
Hayward held Derozan to 14 points on 15 shots (I think the only time he actually scored on Hayward was the Rudy dunk) and made their best scorer into a passer. Sounds like the Jazz had a gameplan and stuck to it.
The way he moves it looks like he's aged 10 years. There's got to be something wrong with him. He's still really good on D, and if his shot were falling we wouldn't be talking about him, but he is just so different than last year.

The dunk makes me feel like Hayward has kinda been **** on the perimeter. But I think it's just me.
He has been by far our best perimeter defender.
On top of Hayward's defense on Derozan shots, you know Derozan gets to the line nearly 10 times a game and he just got 2 attempts on Hayward?
And on the Derozan dunk, if you watch the screen Scola set on Hayward to free up the catch, it was definitely a moving screen and Hayward let that rattle him, as you can see him complaining to the ref. He definitely lost focus for a second and Derozan caught him. The other times Hayward was purposely funneling Derozan into certain locations.

He looks a little slow, but did the best job on DD. DD kept driving into Hood's body and getting easy 10 footers... Burks was bad on him too. Hayward does seem to be moving slow. I think added weight (even though it is muscle) and the foot surgery he had may have him moving a bit differently. Overall I think he gets back... but something seems a little off.

Every damned screen Scola sets he moves or pushes... I couldn't believe they let him shove Hayward into DD or Carroll and gave Hay the foul on it on one of them. He's got those Stockton/Malone dirty tricks in his bag.

LOL - I remember when AK got away with the ultimate flop on Scola against The Rockets in the playoffs to sew up a Jazz victory.
Poetic justice at it's finest.
