Jazz at Dubs Official Game Thread -- 8:30PM MT: NBATV, ROOT

Hayward has been disappointing this year. Has he been horrible? Of course not. We expect him to play at an all-star level. Because of his talent we expect greatness.

Right before his finger injury he looked like he was playing at a higher level. That hard work in the offseason was paying off. The meeting/training with Kobe was showing.
Granted this was the preseason and a small sample size but to my eyes there was something different about him. It wasnt about the 17 points he scored in Portland it was his body language, and demeanor that was impressive.

Since he came back from injury we've seen a little bit of everything from him. He can be shut down by the other team. This is alarming. When the team gets tight he hasnt seemed capable of carrying the team through these stretches. Maybe he's just not fully healed, and hasn't gotten into the groove yet after missing that chunk of time. I still feel he will have a monster run at some point this season. Hes just got to be able to do that for the majority of a season if he wants to be an all-star.

Hes a great Robin, but not that impressive of a Batman.

Disappointing?

Disappointing? He's increased his scoring by over 2 points per game on improved efficiency. His rebounding is also way up, and he's been one of the better defenders. He's having a better season statistically than any that Paul George has ever had.

He also just recently had a streak of scoring 20+ that not even Deron or Boozer could pull off.
 
Wow we played our worst game of the season and I wasted my precious sleep time waking up at 6 AM to watch this crap.
Not seen GSW play this consistently intense defense in a while. Hey, I doubt any team can come close to beating last night's GSW except perhaps the Cavs if Love keeps playing like he is now.

Good news is we're gaining respect around the league. GSW felt like they had to bring their A game. Well, C would have sufficed too but anyway.

If he is not playing at an all-star level then yes he is disappointing. Again, when you have the talent Hayward does the expectations are higher.
So hes improved in some areas statistically. Thats great. Will that lead him to being an all-star? Will those stats help us beat the elite teams of the league? We shall see.

Tonight 2/10 from the field and 0/6 from deep is disappointing. You can truly judge yourself against the elite, and the teams that are better than you.

Being disappointing tonight is different than what you said before though, which is that he has been disappointing this year. We've seen him have big games against great teams before. One dud at Golden State doesn't suddenly make his entire season disappointing.
 
You guys are crazy spoiled brats. I mean they're doing great this year with multiple injuries. What do you expect them to do in a away game vs the best team with 3 starters and a rotation guy basically out (Hill / Favors / Hood / Burks) ?

You can't be serious. Of course they can't win this game. It's good they just give up on it and focus on the next game (a game they should win). Resting Favors was the good decision too.

We'll see what they can do against GS when Hill, Favors and Hood (plus Burks hopefully) play. Now is not the time.

You know GS wouldn't win many games vs top teams either if 3 starters were out. Just saying.
