Jazz Play Houston Today

[Saint Cy of JFC]

There was a miserable and embarrassing stretch of basketball between the 9- and 10-minute marks of the fourth quarter. Hayward basically throws away two possessions in the worst way. Is his finger an issue? When are we going to have to shut him down again? It's just a matter of time, right?

I'm going to assume when Hill comes back they will sit Hayward, if Hayward hasnt healed enough.

Did some people not notice Hill and Favors are out with injuries?

It's as if people expect to be missing 2 starters and have it not affect the team.

It is obvious the injuries are penalizing the Jazz but we don't have a superstar offensive player even at full strength.

I agree that Hayward still needs to play. But if he doesn't shoot poorly we win the last two games.

Hayward has some serious problems with the fundamentals on his 3pt shot. He drifts a lot on them and shoots too many of his 3's off-balance.

Hayward has consistently shown he is a very inconsistent 3pt shooter who is prone to long stretches of terrible 3pt shooting. This dates back to his days at Butler.

And I like how Exum is driving but he still avoids contact a little too much, opting for difficult outstretched finishes around people instead of making them foul him.

Still a night/day difference from where he was a rookie year in terms of his willingness to bring it into the paint and he does some cool/nifty things around the rim I see few other plays do.

2 starters and 2 bench players.

Dante Exum is starting to show some signs offensively that suggest his doubters will have much crow to chow down on. Up until now, I've been cautiously optimistic about him, and I can honestly say that I'm now legitimately excited about his future.

Funny post after a game that he was 4-11 with one more assist than a dead man.

It's more about being aggressive and the flashes shows with some of his moves. He still has a long ways to go, but the signs of legitimate progress are undeniable and great considering how much basketball he has missed the last 3 years of his life.

Two separate things about James Harden amaze me. And then these two things multiply together, for quadruple-amazement:

1. The amount of shoving and grabbing he gets away with
2. The number of borderline calls he gets in his favor (as an offensive player)

He's a stupid sideshow. His entire game depends on the referees.

I was going to post earlier that the NBA needs to have a mandatory class for all refs that studies all the stuff that Harden gets away with. They could use this class to get a clue about officiating.
