Hayward on Paul?

[Weezur]

Did anyone notice that in crunch time, Corbin put Hayward on Paul? Hayward's nearly 8''-9'' taller than Paul, but I thought Gordon held his own and maybe even did a better than Harris because Paul had to shoot 20ft out (which is the worst shot in the NBA).

What's cool is is that Hayward got put into this 'elite defender' role. I know he's far from it...but it sort of reminded me of the same situation in that Heat vs. Chicago game when Lebron got on D-Rose at clutch.

I thought it was a good idea by Ty. Mix things up a bit, make Paul adjust

It was a good move. Hayward did great.

Hayward is not 7 feet tall, not even close. Nor is Paul 5'8.

Ok, Paul is 6'0'' and Gordon is 6'8''. Give or take an inch...and I was off 3-4''...I'll edit my post with a better qualifier
Paul's a short 6'0'' as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually 5'11''
