RUSH Game Thread - Orlando @ Jazz - 12/3/15 7 PM MST

[Diamond77]

No really, a leader's job isn't only scoring the most points in a team, he must show up in other aspects. Like when the team is down he must show charisma and a will to win. Honestly, do you see that from Haygod? He's been out this season for some reason, taking out a few good games here and there, when it's a special game. This is a long season and you have to grind, or not so spectacular teams will give you a hit like what happened tonight.

It seems there is competition in the team for who is the best player, face of the franchise and so on...

Probably Hayward wants to be the man and the first offensive option. He always seemed to me a selfish player.

I won't be surprised if he cares more about his haircut rather than winning games! I'm joking

We will miss Gobert badly.

Lol good one

Maybe its just the homer in me but i think burks should be getting more minutes. He is averaging 28 minutes per game currently (same as corbins last year.... down from 33 minutes per game last year), and Hood is averaging 30 minutes per game. (favors is at 31 and hayward is at 35 fwiw)

What do you all think?

Hard to argue against really.

I wouldn't be against Burks starting.

 

[Diamond77]

Hood played with overconfidence lately, forcing shots.

Snyder always gave him lot of confidence but maybe now he has to change approach, for example starting Burks.

But Hood offense is an important key for the Jazz to win games.

It's like we've talked about before, when you don't start, you don't play as many minutes. It doesn't have to be that way, but the manner in which many coaches work their rotations - and QS is one of them - it's the reality. It's a shame, really.

What do you all think?

If the aim is to win more games. Yes.

They seem more concerned about getting certain players reps though. Starting spots certainly don't seem to be performance based, or else how could Neto and Hood keep getting a pass??

It's hard for me to buy into this team urgently trying to make the playoffs with the current rotations. Neto and Hood minus a passable 3pt % is very gimmicky.

Its like they almost don't want to give themselves a chance to score 30 in the 1st.

It's almost like their tankin - not for a top pick but to ensure a decent one..

Is this a joke? Hayward needs to be more selfish if anything. I mean I would actually use the word aggressive but it amounts the pretty much the same thing.

 

[Game6Conley]

So Hayward has one of his best 1st quarters ever, and then makes 1 fg in the 2nd half. Anyone care to explain how that happens?

Favors taking only 7 shots is another strange thing.

I think it is time for Snyder to establish clear offensive hierarchies.

It's all in his head, something's wrong with him this season. Has anyone seen one of his blocks from behind this season? The kind that got everyone fired up? He's putting up the numbers because he oozes talent, but he ain't the same in other aspects... That's my theory at least.

It would have been nice if the refs didn't let guys tackle him. Neto needs to be done it's not his shooting that hurts us most it's his creation abilities too... He handles the ball in so many possessions and ends up shooting a shot that looks like something I'd throw up if I was on the court with nba players. His defense is average but not great like dantes was.

Anyway I think Neto was part of the problem for Hayward, but he does need to be more assertive at times.
