Hayward is definitely going to have to learn how much the physicality ratchets up in the final minutes of a close playoff game against Chris Paul.
Show statsIf he hasn't learned this by now, as a player, and you have, as a watcher of the game, what does that say? I mean, I am incredibly thankful that every year, Hayward has upped his strength, his shooting, his game, essentially, but his 4th quarter prowess has remained the same.

And I have no idea how he can learn it. I mean, if you cant learn something in 3 games you are basically useless right? I mean, Hayward is so ****ty it took him into his 3rd playoff game to score 40 points. What a scrub. How will he ever get better if he isnt a master at playoff basketball 3 games into his playoff career.
Actually it's his 7th playoff game. Remember 2012?...where he averaged 30 minutes per game vs. the Spurs.
A simple, "yes I was wrong" would've been the appropriate response. But you'd never do that...Are we really going to count what happened that series in his 2nd NBA season? You think he really took anything away from that? I doubt it.
I sure as hell hope Hayward took something away from the 4-0 sweep to the Spurs, even if it was only his 2nd NBA season. Don't you? If he wasn't paying attention and taking mental notes on how the Spurs conducted themselves and operate in the playoffs, then honestly, Hayward isn't the smart/high basketball IQ guy we think he is...Are we really going to count what happened that series in his 2nd NBA season? You think he really took anything away from that? I doubt it.

It was just a ruse to get your hopes up, and obviously it worked... u took the bait.

I've also said many times over my departure from JFC will go unannounced, and that is actually the truth.
