Jazz VS Dallas Game Thread - WE WON!!!!!!

Really stinks that we can't enjoy this win longer than half a day. We've gotta get this game tmr and go into the all-star break with all the feel-goodsies in the world

They've earned a good rest. So proud of this team.

Did Hood have that penetration dribble, turnaround jumper in college?

How did he fall so far?

Yes he did.

He was older, kinda soft, didn't pass much, and was an awful defender. Awful.

I always thought he had more of an NBA game, but he is vastly improved. I never thought he would be even an average defender. He's really bought into the team mentality. Him improving his defense like that has actually convinced me that Burks never will.
 
What are hoods defensive numbers this year for the jazz?
 
excerpt on discussion on parsons versus hayward on mavericks site.




I pretty clearly stated that I'm *not* basing it on tonight...though I'd still argue Hayward had a better all-around game. There's a reason Parsons routinely has a poor +/-, and it's not a coincidence. You note Hayward's high usage, which is in fact a plus in my eyes. He's doing what he's doing as literally the ONLY playmaker on that team. They have no PG. They have no one who can initiate the offense except for Hayward. Simply put, CP could never handle what Hayward is doing in Utah. As for the actual comparison...

Hayward: 19 PER, 56% TS%, 111 ORtg, 106 DRtg, .151 WS/48, 3.1 OBPM, 2.1 VORP.

Parsons: 15 PER (16 is his career high), 57% TS%, 107 ORtg (on a better offensive team), 107 DRtg, .098 WS/48, 0.6 OBPM, 1.0 VORP

There is really zero argument to be made here.

Nice...
 
Aside from him being wrong about the playmaking. Hayward is the primary playmaker for sure but not the "only".
