Repair idea for Hayward

Mentally weak and poor leadership?

Jesus Christ, what is going on here.

After his breakout season, I expected him to carry the team and to be the Jazz franchise player but he is struggling early in the season unexpectedly.

He often disappears in the 4th quarter and misses free throws down the stretch.

Last season he hit a couple of buzzer-beating game-winners and after that he always played hero-ball down the stretch but he failed most of times. He should not be the focal point of the offense.

Burks, Hood, and Favors all took more shots than him tonight. And in the former two's case, Hayward was drawing a lot of defensive attention away from them.

Burks and Hood don't have the games they do if they receive the same attention from the defense that Hayward did.

You might be right about Hayward taking allot of attention away from hood and Burks but I disagree when you say that Burks and hood don't have the games they do without Hayward.

Burks and hood are both very good at getting their shots off and making tough shots against any and all defenders.

I have seen them both go up against multiple waves of defenders and still score many times.

A few years ago Hayward was hurt and missed like 7 games and Burks played some of his best basketball during those games

How can you say that when we've never seen a defensive game plan geared towards stopping them like we have with Hayward.

So you think when Hayward is on the bench resting or missing the game with an injury that the other team is still focusing on stopping him? I find that hard to believe.
 
I'm certain that Burks and hood (both very good scorers) would still be able to score without Hayward out there to hold their hand.

I wonder if there were thunder fans that said that harden was only a good scorer because defenses were focusing on durant and Westbrook.

Yes. I have every poster's hate-rank for every Jazz player in a spreadsheet. You're 87th biggest hater of Hayward on the site, if you're wondering.
