The Gordon Hayward Experiment...you know the drill

YOu folk are crazy I didn't not say that he was the mirror player of AK in anyway. My point is if AK was to shoot the ball and miss as much as Hayward does you wouldn't sit around waiting for a single game of double diget points to call AK an Allstar. YOu would have AK be ready to burn AK at the alter.
 
I still would have liked to see Hayward on Kobe, even if just for a few minutes of game time. Maybe he needs a challenge like that, for coach to show some confidence in him, to help him break free. Rather than "hell no, you have sucked lately, you ain't getting anywhere near Kobe" might be better to have "Hayward, we need you to stop Kobe, keep him from scoring, get the ball out of his hands, like you did last time. You can do it." And then let him go at it. He is young, we are not in the running for any championships, so give him the shot, show him you believe in him, and it might be the kind of thing that helps kick him out of this slump. It certainly wouldn't have been the end of the world if we had just tried it for a minute or 2.

Yeah I do agree here.
Why not play Hayward on Kobe for a couple minutes?
The guy was going off (like he always does with the Jazz, for whatever reason).
Might as well put a longer guy on him, and do what you can.
If Hayward was a failure..... I'd even try Jeremy Evans.
 
If Hayward was moved to the 2, and Raja didn't play, Raja would then reveal the revealing photos of the coaching staff and all hell would break loose.

Not to mention the two absurd dunks and the posterazation of DuhMar Kardashian. The awesome thing was, when he smashed down that two handed hunk of love, I said out loud, "Wow, that looked just like Tom Chambers!" and was pleased to hear Jet say the same thing on TNT. If God turns out to be half the player Chambers was, I'll be tickled pink.
 
The jazz let Dallas get a lot of open looks on switches and rotations n stuff.
First rule of bball, if you have to choose between guarding somebody open under the basket, and somebody open far away from the basket, you go cover the guy under the basket.
Seemed like Hayward was having to run all over the place to guard the whole Dallas team a lot, not sure that was all his fault that people were open.

how about Shawn Marion going off for 22. I know he wasn't on him the whole night but great D brah.

He was not on him the whole night, as you said, so what is the break down of Marions night while Hayward was on him? Was Hayward primarily guilty, partially guily or hardly guilty at all?
