Thank you Gordon Hayward

[Jerry Lundegaard]

Good thing Raja was playing over him all year. LOL

Ive got two things to say. Whoever said Gordon Hayward sucked is an idiot. Yes that was me.

Gordon should have had three more assists tonight. He played fantastic.

Is anyone still questioning KOC's selection of Gordon Hayward for the 9th pick?

So Gordon finally started shaving last week then? About time.

Somebody was going to eat crow, KOC or me & the other 2,000 idiots that booed last June. I'm looking for some soda crackers...crow is awfully greasey.

Gordon should have had three more assists tonight. He played fantastic.

And atleast one more block. Think he got tired of losing,or tired of His Bulldogs losing.

And remember he's only 21, he's only going to get better.

 

[billyshelby]

Utterly fantastic game by the kid. He grew in leaps and bounds tonight.

NBA's mantra is "Where Amazing Happens"

I didn't believe it until tonight... fan-bloody-tastic!

This makes me wonder where he would be if he had been playing all season with decent minutes.

He's a totally different player. He looked tentative up until a couple of weeks or so ago. All he'd do is take a pass, dribble once or twice and then immediately hand the ball off. Now he's playing and shooting with confidence. Deron was flat out wrong to throw him under the bus in the beginning of the season. Nice to see some flashes of what Hayward MIGHT become.

And if Hayward AND Favors both improve significantly over the next year +, the Jazz could have a pretty good team in 2013.

Kudos on owning up to what you said. Most of the time the detractors just disappear.

After a game like this, I had to visit club lakers. Here are some of my favorite posts during and after their game thread:

Lol at what the refs are letting this rookie get away with on Kobe

Where is Raja Bell?

its this bad because hayward went to butler

Just going through the motions, it seems. They'll probably turn it on in the 4th.

Why not Luke...for once you can't do any worse that the others...

Refs will absolutely call nothing for Kobe

GTFO Shannon. Leaving Hayward? HAYWARD?

Can't believe we are in a dog fight with a scrub team... these guy should be out in the street by now!!!

HAYWARD, THROW IT DOWN BIG MAN, THROW IT DOWN!.......

Hayward owning Kobe.

are you kidding me? play some F**** defense on this little white scrub.


Hayward needs about 1 move and 1 second to break Kobe's ankles...incredible.

Haywood can get by anyone....where did this come from?


Lol we didn't even get a shot off. Heyward is the mvp tonight. He owned kobe.

I'll pat myself on the pack for being about the only one who LOVED the pick since the start.

I was one of those who was furious about the Hayward pick back in the 2010 draft... I am glad that he proves me wrong. Now I want more players like him on this team.
