I hope it helps him finishing better around the rim, because he could improve a lot. And I don't think it will make him a worse shooter. It's just not possible after last season.

I'm not sure we'll win more than 35 games, but, damn, this team is gonna be fun to watch. I probably had more fun watching yesterday's game than most games the past 3 seasons.

Looks like we finally have a shooter who can actually shoot the ball.

I'm still undecided. I think our first option should be a sign-and-trade. If that's not possible, then we should probably just sign him and be done with it. What we can't do IMO is letting Hayward go for nothing. Hayward's contract won't matter when it comes to re-signing Burks and Kanter...

Some good options at number 5, but I don't think any of them can be a number one option on offense, which is what we really need. If we can't move up and draft Wiggins, I'd try to trade down and draft Gordon. Good defender, can do a little bit of everything. Since we're not getting a number one...

Amazing shot by Lillard. Once he started running, you just knew what was gonna happen. Can't believe the Rockets didn't switch (or put Beverly on him). He was the 1st option in clutch time all season long for the Blazers. What the hell were they thinking?

Jerry did a few things that drove me nuts. He waited too long to call timeouts, didn't take advantage of bad matchups often and, most of the time, was too strict with his rotations. But it is undeniable that he got the most out of his players. How he managed to win 42 games in 2003 is something...

This. Don't spend enough time on Jazzfanz to hate Franklin, but the rest is spot on. I would add benching veterans for being old. On a less serious note, I want a guy who has this team playing good defense and running. Defense must be our number one priority.

The FO knew and they were very open about this being a rebuilding season. Kanter is absolutely right about the young guys not getting enough playing time. Gobert should have gotten 15-20 minutes a night, Kanter and Burks 30+. Especially after the all-star break, when it was fairly obvious we...

I remember there was a time when I thought we'd be much worse offensively, but at least our defense would be top notch. Boy, was I wrong. People complain about Kanter being bad on defense, but honestly, our defense overall has been so bad, right now I'd say our whole team sucks on defense...

A million times this. Hayward is a horrible finisher. AK, Harp and some other guys pissed me off about missing layups, but Hayward is on another level. If he doesn't get to the basket absolutely free, I'm almost sure he will miss it. When he has to adjust because someone is coming to try and...

Can't believe we couldn't trade Marvin to a contender for a 2nd rounder in 2035. I know Favors is hurt, but unless the Jazz wanna keep Marvin, they should just let Kanter, Evans and Gobert play 30 minutes each a night and see what happens. I'm starting to think the Jazz might wanna keep him...

If Hayward wants to improve his shooting percentage, he should add a post up game. He's taller than most guys guarding him. Unfortunately, he has no post moves, except a fadeaway, even when a much smaller guy is guarding him. He's a horrible finisher. He misses some unbelievable easy layups. His...

If Hayward could shoot or make a layup, he'd be one hell of a player.

From what I've read, Waiters was pissed that Irving gets special treatment even when playing lazy defense and such for being the Cavs' star. Can you imagine how angry he would be seeing Lucas getting special treatment just for being a vet? Do it now, Lindsey! Nothing says number 1 pick like...

Some positives from this game: Burke looked pretty good. Despite Hayward's amazing shooting, we still scored 98 points. Even if this team gets healthy and they start playing out of their minds, their horrible start will very likely land us a top 5 pick.

Do you guys remember when Kanter could rebound? It was nice. I liked it.

I find it basically impossible to criticize Hayward so far. The guy right now is far and away the best passer on the team. I thought he would have a hard time shooting 40% from the floor this season, and yet he's shooting a respectable 45%. He still is a decent defender and he has improved his...

Corbin should start Burks and play him as much as possible. What's the point of having scoring from the bench when you are always 20 points down after the first quarter?

So we have somebody at PG who's a threat to hit a shot and we go on a big run? Who would have thought?
