Friday Jazz VS Blazers 7pm MT

[Jamezz]

I wonder if we'll see Hayward at the 4? Snyder said following the Kanter trade that it might lead to more small ball.

That would be interesting to watch, as some have been claiming posting up as being one of Hayward's weaknesses. Well, pretty much he just hasn't been testing those waters.
Let's see what he's got if put in that position.

So Gobert's first match of his new era. We should expect some morale boost. How will it reflect to his statline do you think? Realistic numbers please. Not 56 rebounds.

Does Snyder realize most of our wings have bad wings or legs?
We can play small ball by just inserting Evans into the lineup for 10 mins.

I'm gonna go with 14 points, 14 rebounds, 2 blocks.

I'd say 12p/13r/3b/2s/3a

Hopefully the refs don't take Gobert out of the game with fouls.

LMA is a student of opponents, so expect better effort from him. Rudy should look for the smart contest attempts.

It will be fun to watch that matchup. I suspect that this time Rudy gets schooled bit, but he will learn.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Hayward is "an absolute monster in every facet of the game"? That sounds more like LeBron. Hayward is good-very good in just about every facet of the game.

Yeah monster is a bit overspoken. I'd take " a very good basketball player in every facet of the game except that he has small arms and palm so he needs to grab the ball with two hands while dunking".

If he wants to study Gobert he should read this... It is basically all about Gobert

Kobe's got smallish hands as well (few really have "small" hands; it's all relative) in the NBA. If Hayward is on his Game, the dude is all but unstoppable. Monster might not be a good noun, but take an appropriate equivalent. Earlier in the year, he was better than Lebron on ISOs. Don't know if that's changed.
