C'mon man, take it easy on him. 8 games from now, he'll break out of this slump with a great game and the "Is Hayward is God?" thread will spring to life.

GO SEAHAWKS!!!!

Since The Jazz have been playing "better" I think it's pretty clear Burks and Favors have been the best players on the team.

I like Hayward a lot - I think he gets a bad rap here because they're trying to make him something he's not. He's a solid second option or a great third option. He's just not a first option.

Burks sure looked like a first option last night.

Lebron, wade, ray allen, norris cole, and chris bosh all took turns guarding him and couldn't stop him.

Then they tried doubling him.... that didn't work.

Even saw him score against the triple team too.

Seemed like the jazz got to a point where a lot of the time they just gave the ball to burks and said go to work and it almost always ended in a bucket for burks or a teammate. (3 of burks misses ended in offensive rebound putbacks by team mate cause burks was drawing so much attention..... and one of his misses he stole the ball right back and got a layup). They should have had the ball in burks hands even more tbh.

I remember hearing last fall camp that in practices no one on the jazz could stay in front of alec.

Maybe its time to start him and make him the #1 option..... maybe that would take the pressure off of hayward and he could play better
