    The rebounding collapsed when Ayton was off Sengun. JJ should keep Hayes in the Capela minutes

    This is more of an Ayton series than a Hayes series.

    Much better energy in this one, counterbalanced DA's reduced energy. Team high in +/-, eye test didn't quite match that but he was much more active. Sengun still presents some problems there and only 4 rebounds isn't enough.

    i think that one play where he erased capela's weird drive attempt was important. you have to send the message that iso'ing your 5th option is going to end embarrassingly.

    No idea why people don’t like Jax. To have a backup center of this quality … I think we are set and keeps getting better. Very nice.

    I like the guy. If he's willing to stay for cheap, I'm all for it.

    He's a very good backup and I'd love to have him back on the team.

    he's a backup center playing on what's basically a vet min. you could pay 25 million for claxton, who'd actually have some similar issues in the playoffs, imo.

    hayes isn't a big problem for us.

    Nobody wants overpaid Claxton.As long as Hayes is a little problem he’s ok then??? Obviously there are much bigger problems than Hayes.

    I think Claxton has another gear. Can be a defensive anchor in a team.
    Playing to lose continuously for years hinders your development. You see less minutes if you play too well
