What did you see what we didn't. Your first line is based on what? He will be impressive because...?
Another positive: Jazz shot 7/12 from 3-pt line.

High level of defense?
I referenced 70 pts per game (that seems like high level defense to me)
And holding teams to lowest point totals of the year (also seems like high level defense)
What were you talking about?
haha i will fo sho
I am erasing my memory.

Again an embarrassment from the FT line. Hack-a-Jazz should be every team's strategy. Well, perhaps excluding Hayward. PG play was terrible. A scrub like Clarkson going off for 22. Sending Exum to the bench and bringing in an NBA-level PG should be priority #1 this summer; not bringing in some overpaid wing. Not fair to have the frontcourt giving a terrific effort only to see the guards **** it up. Booker needs to be the 4th big. In 6 of his last 9 games, he's shot <38%. And he's horrible from the FT line. I'm beginning to take back what I said about him; he IS very expendable. That non-guaranteed contract might be combined with other assets to upgrade.
1. Get an NBA-level PG. We haven't had one for two years.
2. Find a third big.

Dude I love Hayward. Not a Hayward hater at all. I actually was totally fine that we paid him all those units this summer. Still am. But down the stretch, I don't want the ball in his hands. How many times has he clanked the big shot? Or worse...dribbled the ball off his damn foot? I just don't think he is clutch down the stretch. I'm totally comfortable with Trey taking that last shot...or any last shot. Hayward....not so much.
Won't argue with your point about Hayward carrying the Jazz on multiple occasions. You're right.

I agree with your point that the players executing bad, but I still think the response to the zone defence was like a breaking point in this game.
(my english is not my first language but I hope u understand what I mean with "breaking point")
You asked if I thought it would be typical for the jazz to hold teams to 70 pts per game, as if that is the only thing one could possibly mean by high level of defense. The Jazz didn't even do that against the Blazers or Spurs.
My standard for high level is around 100 points allowed per 100 possessions. And the Jazz have by and large been able to do that consistently in games Gobert has started with the exception of a game where they turned the ball over 21 times.

Trey looked terrible out there tonight. Dante has much room for improvement but the offense ran better with him out there and the defense too.
