Not when the game was on the line. Wall was 3 for 3 in the fourth. Hayward disappeared. All I was saying is that I would've like to see Hayward take over, but he didn't even seem engaged in the fourth until it was far too late.

So you are saying you are complete TONE IT DOWN. Hayward played a great game and he was great in the closing moments. The final TO is nothing, we had no chance to win the game at that point. He missed the final shot, ok. You can't make every game winner. Wall played well too but he was also being guarded by Trey Burke.

Wow there buddy, slow down there. I think his first step should be, "I'm going to look at the rim once this game".

This. Zero points from your starting PG, and it's not the 1st time, won't win these kind of games.
At least Hayward said he rushed it in the postgame interview...
 
Snyder commenting on free throws. Post game. Says he was glad we were still in the game despite the missed free throws. Gave wall credit, said we weren't quite good enough defensively. Said the physicality of the game slowed us down. IOW didn't comment on the ft's when asked directly.

Yeah I was a little frustrated, but I think that's what Hayward needs to start doing to take that next step. Elite players take over when they are needed. Hayward has at times but not consistently throughout the year.

Didn't they used to say this about LeBron?

I just want to say I ****ing hate the pass charge call. The last one Gortat flopped hard (Favors had pretty much stopped when he got to him) and he also flopped hard when Hood "pushed" him in the back for a rebound.

People like to nitpick at the dumbest ish. There is something about the Hayward/Burke dynamic that throws Hayward off though. He does over dribble too much which takes the ball out of Hayward's hands where as when Exum plays there is usually more constant motion.
 
Snyder with positive things to say about the team overall. Says we had a group of twenty one year olds against some savvy veterans.

Nitpicking is saying Hayward needs to start to take over games to take the next step in becoming elite? I never said he can't do it, I said that's his next step.

I didn't like that charge call on the pass either. I'm not sure of the exact rules, but Favors stopped completely right as he brushed up against Gortat's chest, apparently brushing him with enough force to knock the 6'11'' 240 lbs (20 lbs of nose-weight) man to the ground.

I think he does ask other players to handle the ball and make plays to give them experience.

That's different than asking him to step back. Actually, what I think is that he wants Hayward to finally start being more decisive himself but he doesn't seem to be able to break out of that shell, especially during crunch time. You're the star of the team, you make things happen. That last play was very telling to say the least.

Wait what? You are complaining about his decisiveness then turning around and complaining that he took a very decisive 3 pointer? I'm confused. You want Hayward to try and take over and hit the big shot, or not take the big shot?

The position Hayward caught the ball in sucked. He was stuck in the near corner with Ingles still sitting out of bounds letting his man cut off Hayward from driving baseline. Pierce was shading his left side and Hayward had the relatively open shot, so he took it. He missed. It happens.
 
People sit here and act like Hayward hasn't put games away in the final minutes and hit huge clutch baskets. The narrative that Hayward constantly turns the ball over in big situations is so dumb. He missed one shot and everyone is freaking out about how he isn't a super-star because he just missed that 3 pointer. In case y'all didn't notice, he scored the 4 points before that that even put us in a place to have a chance to take the lead.

How does that even make sense? I could be decisive and attempt 40 3 pointers a game, decisively. The key is he pretty much disappeared at the end of the game and then comes around and wants to gain hero honors in an instant. But yes yes, let's give it a pass. Let's pretend it didn't happen. Fine.
