What did Jaxson Hayes contribute to winning in the last four games? More fouls than rebounds and points?

If your argument is that Kleber is garbage, then so is Hayes. What becomes your argument then? That they should've played that other shyt instead of the the shyt they played?

I don't know, maybe show some cotdamn sense and acknowledge the fact that the problem was with their lack of frontcourt depth, and not deciding between playing Hayes or Kleber.

Called this months ago:

Lakers had a good shot to win the chip if they got Mark Williams

Lakers needed at least 1 good Center. With Mark they get a Tier 2 big that is a 2-way threat. Everyone with eyes knew their front court would be their undoing.

Jaxson Hayes G1: 8 minutes, 1 point, 3 rebounds. -11
Game 2: 9 minutes: 2 pts, 1 reb, 1 turnovers, FIVE FOULS
Game 3: 8 minutes, 2pts, 1 reb, -13
Game 4: 4 minutes, 2 pts, 3 rebounds, 2 fouls

He has as many fouls as he has points and almost rebounds in the first 4 games. You have to be incredibly stupid to ask for a 4th string Center to play when you could see with your own eyes how bad he has been.

Rudy gobert is etched in nba history with the wilts, Kareem’s and Bill Russell’s becsuse JJ had to prove a point. Jackson Hayes minutes in this series did not lose us any games. That sorry ass lineup did

Also, we gotta call it for what it is, LeBron is lowkey washed (now LeBron’s washed is still one of the better players in the league but still)
5 total points on the past two games? I know his defense in game 4 was good in the 4th but like 2018 Bron wouldn’t have went out like this
Been that way for a few years now. I feel the exact same about KD too. The current league play allows them to put up great regular season numbers which gives the illusion they are better than their prime. The impact isn’t tho.

Steph has shown the same flaws but his 3pt shooting is the biggest factor. It’s why imo he can still be your best or 2nd best on a title team.

Lakers win this series with AD. Anyone that isn't a media cum guzzler would know that he's better than Luka
The same AD who couldn't get through a play-in game without getting injured?
he really put a dude in there that hadn’t played since Christmas with the szn on the line..he needs to be clowned all offseason for that
It was a long shot, but Hayes had already proven he wasn't going to effective in the last four games.

So, do you go with the guy who hasn't proven shyt, or do you go with someone who could potentially give you something? Neither option is ideal, but what other choice was there? Do you seriously think they would've had any better chance at winning that game if they put Hayes in, or would they still have likely lost?
