Bro, Hayward wasn't quiet in all the other games Hill, Burks and Favors were out though, was he?
This is clearly a much better team than we've faced. It's the Next Level. And he froze.

More good news: Everyone besides the Clippers and San Antonio lost tonight in the Western Conference Playoff picture. We didnt lose any ground on Houston with the loss. We are still in great position.
You really think he froze? You think the whole thing was mental for him? If he just had the will he could have gotten the W? It had nothing to do with the fact everytime Mack or Exum drove into the paint it was a turnover (besides the couple floaters Mack hit)? It had nothing to do with the fact Hood had to leave the game with an illness that held him scoreless when he did play? It had nothing to do with the fact that our gameplan was compromised because of how the Warriors defended us?
The way you make it sound is like Hayward just iso'd his way through every other performance and there aren't processes within the team designed to get Hayward easy buckets and looks to get him going. Those same things we do werent open against Golden State, largely because of who we were missing.
Yes, he needs to play better and hit more shots, but his lack of shot making was not the difference between a win or loss. The difference was on the team as a whole and how we have to play against the Warriors to win.
Whatever Cy. Get a life, seriously. Everyone can have an opinion, you're not the only one who's always 100% right.
Yeah, I think Hayward not playing well may have had a lot to do with Hayward himself. It can't just be other people's fault. If he's the max stud, he should be making everything easier for his teammates, not relying on them to initiate offense.
Since he was born with the genetics that allowed him to have a 7'5 wingspan and a 9'2 (for reference, basically the same length as Favors) standing reach while having the footspeed of a perimeter player. Also makes a huge difference that he doesnt have to exert as much energy creating shots for himself within the GSW offense compared to the ISO heavy OKC offense. Because it's the crazy thing, expending a ton of effort on one end hurts your productivity on the other. It's why Harden doesnt play defense and why Hayward sometimes struggles when he has to spend so much energy guarding guys like KD since no one else on our team has the size to do so.
Skip Bayless take over your account?
So I can't have an opinion on your opinion?
Sorry I choose a positive outlook on the team and choose to view the glass half full while you just sit there and do hot takes.
Not the aggressive way you respond + name calling. Geez.
Alright man, whatever, I'm gonna go watch Love Actually, it's Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
