Golden State Whoriors at Utah Jazz: 7pm MT
- Thread starter Gyp Rosetti

I think Favors rebounded pretty well defensively tonight. The Ws just spread the floor and pulled him out of the paint. Favors had to guard something like 18 feet worth of floor space. Then the Ws packed the paint on the defensive side--like the Spurs did last year in the playoffs so it was hard to get an offensive board.
Here's the thing, the Jazz need shooters to spread the floor so that players like Al and Favors can get room to operate inside. But with Mo out and with Foye, Hayward and Marvin not shooting well, the Ws just sat back in a tight zone and packed the paint. No one on our side wanted to shoot. Mark Jackson did a good job following Greg Popovich's game plan from last season's playoffs.
Marvin Williams is a complete bust. Time to move him, or throw him in the dog house.
I don't blame the organization for trying to give him a chance. It was worth a shot.
I've seen enough though.
He was as advertised by Hawks fans. He'll make a few good plays now, and again but is mostly a ghost out there.
He doesn't do any one thing consistently good enough to justify him playing.

I agree with another poster here that Hayward deserves some blame here. He's not shooting with confidence, and he's not driving, so he's just kind of hanging around. He's okay on defense, but doesn't rebound that hard. The guy is just not playing that great right now.
He's just really inconsistent. When the team is struggling he couldn't ignite or carry us.

I also agree that we can move Marvin and not lose much. Carroll can step into that role, although he's a bit undersized. I think a few of these vets know they're not under contract for next year, or they might opt out, so they're not giving 100% effort.

Like i said before Hayward is very overrated, he will never be the player, this board expect on him to be. he has no consistent jump shot, is a horrible horrible rebounder, an average defender, at most an average passer and ballhandler. His size is not something special ,for a guard he is not quick enough and is not playing with heart.
The only thing he is good at is running at fastbreaks, taking contact to get to the line and shooting freethrows with high percentage.
With a better coach, he can only become a solid role player.

Even Burks has much more talent than Hayward, he can be a better defender, he is better at taking contact and going to the line , is playing with much more heart and is a great rebounding Guard. He´s better at ballhandling and with a good coach he can be a good passer, too.
