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

[silesian]

Pretty good posts. Doubt Hayward has the ability to score 60 points in a game no matter who are his teammates though and for me that's what puts Thompson slightly ahead of hayward.

To max or not to max Hayward is quite the conundrum for me right now.

Will be interesting to see how the season plays out when hill is out there with hayward.

Hayward is great and continues to be passionate about improving, and continues to improve. I'd like him to be even more of a facilitator after the Jazz are back at full-strength. Think he has skills to be a top SF assistor (second to LeBron?).

A lot of overreaction to a bad game for him and the team. Max him. Cap is going up to $120M, we'll be okay with his salary. We've got to make decisions on who to keep and where to cut bait. As Exum looks less and less likely to demand top money (regrettably), the silver lining is that means more cap space to those who earn it.

(see how I did that without insulting people?)

But you insulted many people by saying Drag Queen Cy. Not only a personal attack on Cy, but pretty deameaning to people overall and especially to cross dressers/ drag queens.

Hayward isn't far removed from 7 TOs in one game, and even less removed from 6 pts on 2-10 shooting. I'm not sure I want him facilitating even more. Yeah, it's the best team in the league, but Hayward has disappeared in big games before.

Didn't watch the game but I don't know what people expected with four of our guys missing.

Maybe we just expected a little better than last time we played them when we had even more of our guys missing. It's nothing to panic over -- we had a bad game. But man was it a horrible game for almost everyone.

May this game be known as the Hood Diarrhea Game, henceforth.

*someone please make a meme.

Would it be the most embarrassing thing in the history of sports if a player had a mud leak during a basketball game?

Like last night I just thought maybe Hood would get an oppurtunity to dunk so hard his bowels would explode, and Draymond would be right under him. That'd be the best.

There's a theory that Paul Pierce **** his pants in his wheel chair game. So he faked the injury to get off the court without dumping mud all over the hardwood. Some video evidence shows he's got a brown spot on his shorts right before the incident.

Also would explain how he miraculously came right out after being wheeled off like he was on his death bed.

Come on, he's the guy that called folks clowns & idiots for discussing the possibility that Gobert may not get a full max contract. And Exum would get 3 ftas/ game.

The guy is never wrong. He's the dawgone smartest guy here, surrounded by us morons.

Bow to the awesome arrogance that is Drag Queen Cy.

Don't want to give him too much ego but Cy is one of the best posters we have, and I would truly be upset if he stopped posting. He's basketball smart and probably our most even-keeled and rational/logical poster on basketball we have on here.

Agreed. Sometimes a bit heavy handed, and acting like a know-it-all dick, but overall I enjoy his posts. He knows bball really well and is pretty unbiased for the most part. And is pretty funny quite often.

Cy is smart and a good poster and dumb and a bad poster

Bruh we know you trolling.

 

[Siro]

Cy being a dick doesn't negate the fact he's one of the best posters on the forums, and the best high-volume poster on the Utah Jazz section.

A larger sample size of Hayward's bedwetting performances against the best teams in the West over the last 3 seasons:

Vs Golden State and San Antonio (16-games): 77-222 34.7% FG, 14-59 23.7% 3PT%, 4.5 rpg, 3.0 apg, 14.6 ppg
This includes 3 out of the last 8 matchups where Hayward scored less than 10 pts on 5-30 16.7% FG and 0-11 from 3PT.

vs. the rest of the league: 44.7% FG, 36.3% 3PT, 5.1 rpg, 4.0 apg, 20.3 ppg.

All I'm saying is if Hayward can't get over his "stagefright" of the Spurs and Warriors, the Jazz will have basically no playoff success. We're never going deep into the playoffs if our best player goes MIA every time we face the Spurs or Warriors.

Love these cold hard facts.


Me too, I'm not saying Hayward is bad, all I'm saying is this is his next step to take in his development.
