What's new

Wow, Gordan Hayward!

I know, I'm shocked Jerry skipped over the multiple veteran wing players he had on hand tonight and went to Gordon.

How about the last 2 games as well, when everyone was healthy? Tonight, he could have easily gone more with Watson, Price or Bell if he were the real rookie-hater
 
will he have anything left in the tank tomorrow?

I think the more important question is will AK or CJ be playing tomorrow? Most players don't have 40 minutes in them back-to-back, let alone a kid that's mostly been a benchwarmer this season.
 
he got 43:50 minutes of playing time

He played the entire second half. He finally got his shot to start going. Once that happened, the Jazz took over the game. If Gordon can play like this consistently, the Jazz can be nearly unbeatable. Memo was huge in the first half, too. I had forgotten how much I missed him. Just think, we were playing this game without C.J. AND AK. This team has the potential to be crazy good. If we can avoid the Spurs and the Mavericks until the conference finals, we might win the West this season. We are BETTER than the Lakers this year. I actually have more confidence in the Jazz when they play on the road than when they play at home. How crazy is that to think? The Jazz have ALWAYS struggled on the road and been a great home team. It is the exact opposite this season. Here's a question: should Gordon be inserted into the starting lineup permanently when AK comes back? Translation: should Raja be moved to the bench?
 
Gordan Hayward just had one of the worst half of ball I've seen by a professional player. missed lay-ups, bad defense, refusal to take open shots, and a moon ball to finish the half. I know the jazz don't have many options with AK and CJ out, but he is not ready for the NBA. Play price!

Dont start drinking the Cool Aid yet.When the Lakers get their act doing, we'll have to see how good they can be. If the Jazz finish 4th in seeding(which is what I predicted earlier this season and I hope I am wrong) they are looking at a second round exit again
 
More than moving Raja to the bench, I think Price should'nt play over Hayward as long as Hayward is healthy, from hereon.
Bench Unit: Watson, Miles, Hayward, Elson, Okur. Thats a pretty decent unit, with three guys capable of stroking the 3-ball a bit. Plus we get some rebounding and size out of the wings

ak sucks rather have ak and his flailing arms his wide open bricked jumpers and his 17 million or whatever contract on the bench. or on another team
 
The best thing about his recent games is his lack of mistakes. He's playing really smart ball, and not trying to to too much.
I only saw one bad pass tonight, and one shot that looked forced.

Keep feeding us crow kid (and growing your hair back out).
 
Hayward has the skills just missing his confidence, he's great when he has it. Like tonight. He will get there.
