DW has in the past criticize CJ for his effort and his poor defense. I can't believe I am saying this but I agree with CT on this one. DW's haters nick-pick anything he says and turn it into this conspiracy about how evil DW is. There only evidence is that one time DW immaturely got frustrated and threw the ball at poor little Gordon. I wouldn't say that is enough to conclude that DW hates Gordon Hayward, but some how DW haters do.
Unfortunately for DW haters, it doesn't change the truthfulness of his comments. What he said is absolutely true. It is hilarious many of you are bashing Gordon, have you forgotten the reaction of most Jazz fan's when Gordon was drafted. I am sure if you pulled up game day chat sessions during the SA series I am sure there would be much harsher things written about Gordon than this comment from DW.
It all stems from the hurt feelings when DW left, now we treat Gordon as some saint that is perfect and should never be evaluated or criticize. Gordon is NOT a great shooter now or in the past. Could he become one yea! but what DW said is absolutely the true. I think many of your Jazz googles are fogged up with displaced anger towards leaving.
I think this pretty well summarizes it. I think some people are reading far too much into D-Will's comment. Perhaps he meant it as a slam on Gordon, perhaps it reflected his lingering dislike of Gordon and Jazz, or perhaps it was simply an honest, agenda-free response to a question. In any case, I think it was an accurate comment (as much as I like Gordon). One thing it wasn't was a self-evident slam on Gordon. I think there's plenty of room for interpretation, but it's clear that some here are pre-disposed to interpret it in the most negative way.
