What's new

Utah Jazz VS the Miami luke warms on ROOT Sports 1280 AM/ 97.5 FM at 7:00

Wow! Just got around to the game tonight and I cannot believe what I saw. For 2 1/2 quarters we looked like we had a real offense. For basically 4 quarters we played great D. And the composure not to fold down the stretch brought a little tear to my eye. Jazz basketball is back (at least for a night.)
 
Watching in the 3rd I was thinking how unbelievable it was that not one player played bad. Marvin didn't have a game for the ages, and I was calling for Carroll to get put back in, but whatever. Al and Hayward were monsters, Sap was bad ***, Foye played within himself. And the little things -- that pass from Kanter to Favors was gorgeous. Even Favors had a nice pass to a cutting Sap. Also loved seeing Kanter drill an 18 footer like he always does it. Tinsley couldn't make a shot but his game was great.
 
Agreed completely. Without Hayward, we lose this game. I love it when he gets his angry Kobe game face on. Those are the times when I actually think Hayward can be our go to guy. He plays well when he's angry and loves a big challenge. The guy is young and is improving. That behind the back dribble and step back jumper over Allen was sick. Who else, other than Burks (maybe, more of slasher) can do that on this team? I like the way we play when he handles the ball as well. He's not perfect with it, but it's fun to watch. Plus he's an underrated defender. Frankly, at this point, Hayward, Favors and Kanter are the reason I'm still watching our games.

The best thing about Hayward's game to me what how aggressive he was. He had this look on his face like Kobe or Lebron.
He was playing angry, and confident.

I think Hayward has benefited from being given time from day 1. His role has changed on the team, but he's never been out of the rotation.
Do this with Burks, and I believe we'll have another star on the rise.

Hayward will make at least two all stars in his career...

Good points.
