Hayward is the best player on the floor quite often these days

Agreed.
so far this year....
Game 1 vs portland. Lillard is probably considered the best player on the floor by most people and has more accolades.
Game 2 vs lakers. Hayward
Game 3 vs the clippers. CP3 and Blake are both considered better than hayward by most people.
Game 4 vs spurs. Kahwi leonard and aldridge might both be considered better than hayward. I think hayward is better than aldridge personally
Game 5 vs Dallas. Hayward is definitely the best player on either team.
Game 6 vs Spurs. Kahwi again
Game 7 vs Knicks. Hayward is the best player imo. Some would say melo (i disagree) and porz might be better soon.
Game 8 vs 76ers. Hayward easily right now. (if embiid stays healthy he might be superstar someday... That is big if on the healthy side though and a big might on the superstar part)
Game 9 vs Hornets. I think most of us would say Hayward. However, so far this year kemba is putting up pretty insane numbers. 26 points per game in 32.6 minutes per game, 49% from the field, 47% from 3 point line. Per 36 kemba averages 28.6 ppg. And his team is 6-2.
Game 10 vs Magic. Hayward easily.

So I have it as Hayward being better than any player on our opponents team 5 times and the other team having the best player 5 times. (i gave the knicks game to hayward, some would say melo is better. And I gave the hornets game to kemba, some would say Hayward is better. Those two are toss ups imo)
 
The play that impressed me most in the entire game was early on favors got switched on to Dj augustine out at the 3 point line and augustine tried his hardest to use his quickness to shake favors. Favors side to side quickness was amazing and he didn't let the dude get any space whatsoever and forced the augustine into a turnover.

What's up with JJ? We need him to play well.

I think JJ pissed off QS a little bit and coach sent him a message. There were two instances that I saw where Johnson completely dogged it on defense. Glad to see from top to bottom that you can't take plays off on this team.
 
Vogel has some work to do in Orlando - The Magic have some nice pieces on defense but holy cow they had a few 5 man sets where you have to wonder where the scoring is going to come from.

For wins they're going to have to depend on second tier players getting hot.

With Hayward back, I think JJ is now realizing what it is like not to start for 1st time in 13 years.

Probably a mind Puck. He'll snap out of it.

I looked it up last night - The game against The Knicks on Sunday was the first time JJ came off the bench in 13 years.

I'm sure he knew the situation coming in otherwise he would not have signed a contract if he wasn't accepting of this role. I'm inclined to agree with you in that it's just an adjustment that has to be made.

Away from home and family, lots of flights, yeah...it is. Most teams struggle on the tail end of a 5 game away trip.

They went from NYC to Philly and then Orlando to Miami.

That's a flight, a bus ride, another flight and a 30 minute puddle jump

Our early-season schedule is pretty intense, loaded with road games (8 of our first 11) and on a steady 5-games-in-seven-nights pace. After tonight, we would have played more games than any team except the Kings, who also did a 5-game East-coast swing. It's not just this trip, we have the league's tough opening schedule.

Is that what broke his knee again?
