I don't think he has been as good defensively. At least not to the eye test. I can link you the thousand threads where people talked about him being one of the best defenders of all time. He just doesn't look the same.

See my thread I posted a few days back. Opponents shot about 39% at the rim last year against Gobert (iirc), and they're only shooting 30% so far this year. Idk about the other aspects of his defense, but his rim protection is still best in the league, and even better than last year.

Griffin and Harden both had 40 point games tonight. And both lost.

First game Hayward has looked like himself. Started off well hitting those 3s. Gave him confidence.
Those two and 1s in the 4th quarter were marvelous. Loved the emotion afterwards. Then the dagger 3
in the corner. You just knew it was going in.

Favors played a nice complementary role tonight. Solid.

Booker still blew ***. Guy cant hit a damn thing.

Neto showed the idiots haters here that he is indeed an NBA player.

Great win after that terrible home defeat. Way to answer boys! 7-7!

Opponents shoot 34% around him and there isn't anyone even close to that number. He's pretty much the same player, just isn't securing the ball on rebounds and catching the ball on offense.

It seems to me that he has a little bit less hops (maybe the ankle still bothering him a bit ?) but mainly that he is defending more "à la Duncan" ie altering shots enough to intimidate the O without compromising his position by going full on for the block. I might be wrong though.

And the big point is also that teams will have scouted him extensively in the offseason, which is something you never quite have the time to do during the season.
 
On the 1 hand I'm stoked we've beaten the Clippers... on the other it took Hayward hitting 5-7 from threes to take out the win as well as multiple clutch plays/shots.


Can he or we do this consistently?!?!?!

They repeat everything they hear. So, next time you say "It's time for dinner!", they reply with "THAT'S A G-DAMN FOUL! F***!" See how that might be a problem?

Agreed basketball players should be professional in their language. Imagine if your accountant, lawyer, doctor etc. spoke like that. There are ways to show emotion and intensity without yelling words that desecrate God and sex. However you could also consider sitting far enough away that you can't hear the players.

Great win. I was shocked to hear the Jazz had lost 14 games in a row to the Clippers. Is that actually true? or is that just in LA? Looks like a lot of players played well. Hopefully some highlights will be forthcoming. When I lived in LA, I was a closet CLippers fan but now I love beating them because they don't really have any players worth cheering for. They are a whining bunch and always seem like when the pressure increases so does the whining.

Jazz still need some more scoring off the bench. I hope GS comes into UTah undefeated and the Jazz end the streak. Funny how I am more confident about the Jazz winning games on the road than I am in Utah.

It took that to totally control the 4th quarter and win by double digits. Nothing clutch necessary, other than keeping the lead. The Jazz ran away with this one.

The beauty of this team is it doesn't have to be just Hayward or fail. Favors, Hood, Burks, and Gobert in his own way are all capable of putting the team on their back.
