Hayward is a nice facilitator. He handles and passes well enough to go baseline or get into the lane. Nice dunk too.
 
This is exactly why having a top PG is so overrated. Much rather have a top big man or SG than a top PG.

We can win fine without a super ego that is constantly bitching. Give me Favors and Hayward anytime over Duron. Favors is going to be special folks.
 
I'll give props to Corbin on this one. He kept the right guys in. I did not expect a win on this one. And while it may not help lottery chances, there are things that are much more important than that. A couple of young guys got some big confidence boosts tonight.. And winning just feels so much better anyway for the entire team.
 
Just a great game by Hayward. He played well both defensively and offensively. I think he is making KOC look pretty good and a lot of Jazz fans look pretty stupid.

Just a great win. This win makes up for a lot this year. The Jazz haven't beaten LA in LA with KObe playing since 2000. The streak is over so maybe the Jazz can start believe that they can beat LA in the future. Watson played well, Favors had his moments and the Jazz played really good defense.
 
Haha!

CRAZY. I thought Lakers were going to blow them away to my surprise Jazz were on top in the fourth quarter and a few minutes later Hayward dunks like the beast he is. HELL YEAH. Good win at the STAPLES center! :D
 
Tonight reminded me of November 11, 2006 when Deron Williams took over the game down the stretch and for the first time you said "Wow, how good could this kid be?"

Now, I don't think Hayward will be as consistently great as he was tonight, but if he's even half as good he'll be a heckof a player.
With Kobe, Pau, and Odom all on the floor, Hayward was THE best player on the floor in the 2nd-half. Great defense, tough rebounding, fearless going to the rim and if he can hit that mid-range jumper consistently we'll have one of the wing positions filled for the next 7 years. He was running Kobe ragged coming off screens, and blowing by Artest and whoever else was guarding him with ease.

Al shot 5-18, and Millsap played hard but he had his shot blocked 8 times - that has to be near an NBA-record. That win was all about Hayward, with strong play from Watson and Favors down the stretch.
 
Favors finishes with 14 and 11 and hopefullly will learn what Malone learned after his rookie season: hitting free throws for a big man is the difference between a solid role player (14 and 11) and an all-star (20 and 11).
