It may be time soon to replace Hayward from the starting lineup with Miles.

No way. Hayward is our 4th option with the starters, maybe even 5th. As such, they do not run much for him.

He sets up our scorers and plays much better D and smarter ball.

We have Big Al & Milsap who are clearly told that they are the men.

Let CJ dominate the 2nd units id he can as he shown as of late. CJ would ruin the starters.

Jazz are very deep from 4 thru 9. CJ already is getting almost as many minutes as Hayward.

Problem we have is when Howard comes back. I think Burks loses his minutes.

they play much better than us, i dont know how we are 2 pts ahead, we have something special but i dont know what is it

We took more FT's than they did. If you look at the box score you can identify these things.

Hayward still hustles and I bet Ty won't remove him until that changes.

I tend to agree with this thinking, but our 1st unit lacks any kind of perimeter scoring aggressiveness.

Bell is old and can't drive.
Harris is going through the motions.
Hayward is too passive.

It may serve Hayward best too go to the bench and play with the 2nd unit. Maybe it would force him to up his aggressiveness.

I think their ball movement is superb, but Love having to sit early made a pretty big impact.
I think we are doing a pretty good job of not settling for jumpers and getting to the line.

What about CJ & Hayward starting instead of Bell / Hayward ?

This is what I don't understand. Hayward is a better 2, anyways.

 

[Zombie]

Nice start to the second half. Millsap's winning his matchup with Love on both ends.

 

[Zombie]

What a bizzare call. How is that a shooting foul??

 

[sepanol]

first time big al did what he was supposed to do whole season, instead of pump fake and shot, just fake and go to the rim damn it

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Cool. I want to see Favors guard Love.
