Parsons > Hayward

One game does not make career. That said, I support Hayward until I don't. He's currently playing well and contributing the way I expected him to.

Also, he has a lot of credit in the bank with me...if only for his shout out to the fans after last night's game winning shot. I thought that in the hype and celebration of it all, to think of the fans was an incredibly classy ****ing move. He made me feel like I was a part of the reason for their success...all the way out here in Los Angeles.

Good point. I also think it mends some fences from last season. I kind of got the impression he really didn't care about being in Utah and may have been looking forward to going elsewhere. And perhaps that was the case...who could blame him? You could tell he hated playing under the previous system. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but we keep hearing great things about this group. That they've bought into what Quin is doing and they get along well with each other. I think we have a core developing together that will want to stick together. Let's hope that's the case.
 
Tomorrow is parsons vs hayward iirc
 
Question:

How many games strong games in a row will Hayward and Favors need to have before you start expecting that performance out of them? Before they are considered consistent? 10?, 20?

They both clearly look better to this point this year just eye test wise - but we probably need to get 15-20 games in before I'm completely confident. That being said, it's not like either of them is making a ton of shots that they normally don't or anything that would make e think this is fluky. They just look improved in general.

Yeah I am thinking 15 or so as well.

If they keep that up over the first 15, they are going to absolutely kill it when we start playing crappy teams at some point after that. My big question is to see if they can step up on the road. . .

Im not sure. For me it'll be a gut feeling.

One can shoot.

The other cannot.

One is signed as a role player.

One is signed as a max player.

This team needs shot makers, not "facilitators." What the hell does it matter if hayward can "create offense" when defenders don't have to respect his outside shot? It's AK47 all over again from the hayward deepthroaters.

#gamewinner

Avg. 19pts 6rbs 5ast 50% from the field.

So far...he is earning his money in my opinion.

People blast Corbin for how he misused Hayward all the time. But then they do not put 2 and 2 together. Hayward was shooting an average of 47% under Sloan and an average of 42% under Corbin. Suddenly Corbin is gone and Hayward is shooting 50%. The three years not under Corbin and Hayward averages 48%fg...

*giving Hayward's second year to Sloan as Corbin took over in the middle of the season.

Off with his head.

Wait so are you saying that Corbin was stuck with a bad Hayward or the Corbin made Hayward bad?

I am saying that Hayward and Corbin didn't mix (little of both) As a result Hayward's numbers suffered. All his years not under Corbin and his shooting has been decent to good.

I really love it when people talk about being classy and then cuss for no reason. It really gets the classiness out there.
