The kid was brilliant late last year and early this year.

I think we have a different definition of "brilliant" than one another. Which were the brilliant ones from this season? I see some "solid" and even "good" ones......

How about we settle on "surprising" then? That's probably a bit closer to what I was trying to say.
 
God damn! This place blew up over the loss. I think some of us are expecting too much out of this team. I'm pleasantly surprised and even excited that they have won as many games as they have, but it's not something we should expect too much of this season.
 
Last year we all thought Hayward was the second coming of Hornacek/Ginobili.

This year he looks like the second coming a Gordan Giricek.
 
This was somewhere between the 2nd and 4th worst performance of the year, and Hayward was absolute ****, but people need to chill the **** out. If the worst-case scenario is that Hayward doesn't make it in the league, then the Jazz are in pretty good shape.

IMO, guys that just flame-out, disappear, and are gone before their next contract don't do what Hayward has done thus far. I personally think he might be he's utilized off the bench, longterm at least.
 
Considering his shot took a similar nose-dive in college in a similar way, I think it's pretty clear that Gordon has a big problem with shooting slumps. And in the NBA he needs to be able to hit the outside shot, period. He's not like Alec Burks where he can rely primarily on slashing and finishing. The dude needs a sports psychologist. He has the talent and the ability, but this slump is so deep in is head that he's not playing like the player we saw at the end of last season.

Not me. To think like that after meaningless games is way to optimistic. But wait.. in April when Jazz will be out of playoffs he will have couple solid games and Hayward homers will stick their heads out screaming that he is going to be better then Hornacek or AK again.
 
put him on the bench and give him 15 minutes per game, not more. start burks at the two position and lets start bell or howard at the three position. hayward is a horrible shooter and lacks confidence. at least burks will attack the rim, hit some free throws and for sure, he won't be a worse shooter than hayward and this dude has confidence. turtle coach corbin makes way too many mistakes... -.-
