I like Gordon being put in these situations. I think he is active enough on offense that Melo will have to actually guard him too. Melo can't do both, and rarely does he defend anyway. Good test for the rookie, good developmental opportunity.
Things with great potential for reward have an equal amount of potential for loss. Hayward is still sensitive and if he gets destroyed out there, that could enact a downward spiral effect.
Could. We'll see. Hopefully you're right.

This is what worries me. Teams go right at Hayward and the refs never seem to give him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully he can withstand the first 5 possessions in a row when they go to Carmelo. Maybe contest a couple and make melo go 3-5 and avoid getting a foul.
If Hayward can last the entire 6 mins/quarter or whatever the sub pattern is then I think it will be huge for his confidence for the rest of the game. Assuming Sloan doesn't sit him on the bench the entire 2nd half.

That's true. It seems to me though that he just plays the game, doesn't seem to get mental about it (ala Miles) the few times he has had the minutes. Even if he gets destroyed I think the time on the floor will do him good in the long run. For some reason I get the feeling that he is mentally stronger than other rookies we have had (Koufos springs to mind).
We all know more Ronnie Price=better chance of winning. He is super athletic and can dunk really well. Could be a game we see Millsap and/or Evans playing some 3. Like others afraid Hayward will get in quick foul trouble.

Haywards big night. It happens. When you're with your boys and the ugly guy in your group grabs the best looking girl and it boggles your mind, that type of stuff happens and all you can do is sit back and watch and wonder how the hell that happened. That's how it's going to be tonight.

The only thing Ronnie Price is good for is coming in after the starters fall down 16 early at home. When the starters play like crap then we don't notice as big of a drop off when Price comes in. Then he'll gamble on a few steals, disrupt a play, create a fast break, and/or get a big dunk. By this time the crowd is back into it and creates some energy for the rest of the team.
Otherwise, RP sucks. I'd rather see Hayward run the point to back up Watson (when Deron is out).

Neah, he was clearly faking it to show management who mad he is at the Jazz organization.

Is this a joke? Please be joking...
Is this a ****ing joke?????
Also, Crymelo plays some of the most blatant bully-ball I have ever witnessed. The refs better call that **** tonight.

I think he was being sarcastic, in which case his post is unnecessary and unwelcome without an appropriate sarcasm tag.
NCJazz, please make sure you tag future posts with a sarcasm stamp otherwise I will report you for trolling.
