July 14 SL Exum vs Parker 8:30 MT

If Hood keeps shooting like this and it continues into the season Hayward needs to buy him a house because Hood is going to take A LOT of pressure off of the offense.

if he keeps shooting like this he will be an allstar, and he will be the ROY. i would be pleasantly surprised if he can have 15 nights like last night. i would say he won't.
 
So burke is strictly starting so he can dribble the ball up the court huh.


If exum is unable to dribble the ball up the court then we seriously blew it with out draft pick

burke will dictate the tempo of the game, make the offense move, and not turn the ball over. and he will give you 15/7 every night.

So far he has made the tempo slow (bad thing) and dribbles to much/holds on to the ball for too long, shoots too much/plays hero ball

You are right that he doesnt turn it over much

So when you say dictate the tempo do you mean slowly down so that he doesn't look bad but everyone else looks worse?

That's what seemed to have happened last season.

It depends on how many minutes he gets - and part of that depends on his defense. If he plays suitable defense he'll get a decent amount of playing time. And the fact Williams is gone helps.

And he doesn't have to score 29 a game to help Hayward - all he needs to do is be consistent (yes - I saw Vegas game 1). If he helps spread the floor and give us some offense Hayward will be more effective than he was last year.

I like his 5 assists - that was a great sign also.
 
Can we just give Hayward the benefit of the doubt that he lives up to his contract and the team excels with him and Hood (and the other wings)?

Get mad when Hayward sucks, or when Hayward's contract prevents us from signing that awesome FA who wants to come to Utah (lol).

As someone who was very vocal about the contract sitch, this is where my head is regarding Hayward at this point. He's ours. Let's hope for the best and worry later if it causes issues. For now, let's just enjoy thinking about what could be if Hayward does take a step forward.

With Burke's efficiency, he'll have to use way too many possessions to get those numbers.

Laughable bro, are you being serious?

He averaged 13/6 his rookie year, yeah no way he improves.

15/7 up from 13/6 seems very easy for Burke to get.
 
I just went to a gas station down the block to get some white grape dutchmasters, and there's a 14 or 15 year old Indian kid thats gotta be 6'4" sitting at the register watching a replay of the Jazz and Bucks. So I say to him "Rodney Hood's lookin good huh?" he laughed and is like "yo, that dude is nice"

(This happened in New York)
